particular standards that we are doing, we will pursue it. I don't know if Sidney wanted to add that. FUKE: The short answer is yes, Commissioner Lin. Having it ADA compliant and having the appropriate public access easement in running that to the applicant property; subject to County review and approval of the easement document is totally acceptable. II AU: Commissioner Clarkson? CLARKSON: Yes, I just have another question for Ms. Matsumoto from DPW related to the utilities on the presumably on the County right-of-way and is there even room there was discussion earlier about having to move all the utility infrastructure in order to create curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Is there actually room between the utility poles and the paved for a standard curb, gutter sidewalk or, in your opinion, would the utilities have to be moved toward the property line to create that room? MATSUMOTO: I didn't see any drawing with any measurements. Our current standard is to have the back of the utility pole one foot away from the back of the property line. So, I'm not too sure if there's enough if it's already there. Kind of looked like it was based on some of those concrete bumpers. The minimum for ADA is 3 feet, so I mean it looks like it would be enough. It depends on the standard requirement, whether we would allow it to just meet the 36 or ask them to move it back to the 1 foot. It would actually have to deal with our discussion with HELCO regarding their infrastructure there because depending on the pole size and the amount of tension we may not want to move any of the poles until we can move the entire whole row. CLARKSON: Thank you. MATSUMOTO: Sorry. AU: Okay. MATSUMOTO: Chair, can I make one other statement? AU: Yes. MATSUMOTO: I forgot to mention. A lot of these are coming up where DPW is making the recommendation for curb, gutter, and sidewalk and I understand it's a huge cost to the applicant and not just with this one,but all the other ones that we've reviewed. And it's hard to envision to right. You want us to put a sidewalk in the middle of where there's no other sidewalks, so we understand that as well. In another Change of Zone, the planning I think, was approved, so that the owner would pay for the improvement at the time the County did come in and do the improvements throughout that whole block. So, I mean that is another option as well and it's something we feel that it's,,a reasonable for the Department of Public Works and for the applicant. It's just harder if the applicant sells it to somebody else and the County comes in 10 years later, now the new owner has to bear that burden of the cost and hopefully, they are aware of it at the time as well of purchase. That's it, thank you. 12 EXHIBIT C (DRAFT)
