proposed use in this case. So, when we're looking at this proposed use it's using this existing structure 1,100 square feet. It's a relatively small business. There will be 4 proposed parking spaces. The sequence of events will go if you agree with the recommendation, and forward that to the County Council and then we get through the entitlement process and get the Change of Zone. Then we will prepare more detailed site plans for the Plan Approval and then the Palmers will prepare more detailed building plans for the Change of Use. So, there's several steps and checks and balances and reviews in this process, this is the very first step. So, we're looking at evaluating these conditions very carefully because what happens a lot of times in rezone requests or Special Management Area permits. These permits that come before you to be evaluated is conditions are proposed, and maybe they're not evaluated super carefully. They're incorporated into the ordinance or the permit whichever the case may be, and then the applicants or the owners get into those later phases, and they find that the conditions are written make the development and infeasible and practical and possible cost prohibitive. So, that's what we're trying to head off here in this process. Looking forward to those engineering drawings and what the actual cost would be to put in the,thanks Ms. Andrews. This will work. So, you can see, we estimate that requiring curb, gutter, and sidewalks and actually putting those in on this short stretch of road frontage on the Laukahi Road [Place] would basically double the cost of this project and may make it infeasible. We can't have a perfect idea of what those costs are going to be without the actual engineering drawings and those are costly themselves to produce. So, if you look at the sites to the east, so to the right are zoned residential but they're used as schools, as churches, the HMSA property to the south, this area is all pretty much built up. We're not anticipating a whole lot of infill or additional uses, additional rezoning in this area in the foreseeable future. So, this is basically a dead-end street that ends just to the east of that slightly wooded area, the backside of the residential lot to the east there. So, the improvements would represent about 75 feet on that eastern side of their frontage and about 35 feet so two very short sections of sidewalk which would have little benefit to the public. We've shown and we've seen in the conditions on the street there's grass there currently and there's no, and the grass is in great shape. There's not a lot of traffic on that north side of Laukahi and further putting those pedestrian facilities on the north side of the street and then having them directly to the driveway entrance to this heavily traffic convenience store and gas station right there on the corner seems to be a little bit questionable in terms of safety. So, we would suggest that again to defer the curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements until such a time that any uses are proposed that would expand or alter the existing structure beyond its existing footprint or a new structure. So, that's the language that we provided in our most recent feedback on this project. So, happy to go over this in depth and we really appreciate your favorable consideration. We'll do our best to answer all your questions. Thank you much. AU: Commissioners do you have any questions for the applicants? LIN: Chair Au? AU: Commissioner Lin go ahead. 5 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
