occur is that there's going to be -, have to be contributions by other developers. This project cannot foot the bill on its own. In addition to that, other developers in the area, and Kamehameha Schools owns this property here, there are other properties below the highway here that have been permitted already, there have been discussions with the Department of Water Supply in order to form a district. liken it to an improvement district, in which all of the proposed developments would be allowed to put their facilities charges into the development of this system. So in other words, in order for this project to occur, you're going to have to have other parcels developed. That forces this developer to create an improvement district that will address not only the water but also roadway improvements so that the other projects can occur. This project cannot stand on its own. It cannot move ahead until the water system's done. The water system can't be developed until other improvement -, or other projects move ahead and they can participate as well. And this is. what is, I actually think going to be beneficial for the community because then we will get an additional mauka-makai connector. In some of the letters I've read, the Kona Traffic Safety, they had indicated that they thought that there should be another access point here on this parcel immediately to the north. This is a State highway. The Department of Transportation indicates this is a controlled access highway. They indicate where the access points are permitted on that highway. They will not permit an access point here. They do have permitted access points further to the south, and so those are the alternatives that have to be explored. Any other questions about that aspect of the project? I'll go back and address some of the conditions. SPRINGER: Members? Thank you, Greg. MOOERS: There are some specific conditions maybe I should address in there, that require the improvement of Hienaloli Road from Nam Kailua Drive through the subject property. I know there was that issue was raised in a couple letters I saw. The existing condition of Hienaloli Road is substandard and that is one of the conditions of approval is that that road would have to be improved, as well. SPRINGER: Greg? MOOERS: Oh, I'm sorry. Jeff asked if I would address the drainageway. Previous rezoning, this RS -20 that was done for the Waltons, one of the conditions of approval required that a drainage study be prepared and submitted to the Department of Public Works. Mr. Jeffrey -, I don't know if it was Mr. or Dr. Jeffrey Casbum did a drainage study, and that drainage study did show a realignment of the drainageway, and a letter has been submitted to the Department of Public Works, also been submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers for a letter of map revision that would amend this alignment. As Mr. Yuen pointed out, the condition as written is pretty clear that there is no development allowed in the floodway, so if for some reason the Army Corps did not approve the realignment, that would dramatically reduce the number of lots that could be developed in this subdivision.
