,7i~N-16-97 MON 11:14 AM RALPH LENNEN 609 990 1303 P. 02 4. Condition to be inscrted after the above condition: "Prior to final subdivision, the applicant shall provide the Director of Civil Defense with proposed restrictive covenants that will make residences less prone to fire and hurricane damage, and after acceptance by the Director of Civil Defense, shall incorporate such provisions into the restrictive covenants that attach to the deeds of all proposed residential lots within the subject property. Among other things, these covenants shall prohibit wooden roofs, whether treated with fire retardant or not, and shall require hurricane clips or comparable measures to keep roofs or portions thereof from flying off irr high winds." [We believe these issues are of legitimate public interest because they affect insurance rates for all of us, and because one vulnerable home can endanger others, as well as human safety.] 5. Condition to be inserted after the above condition "The cost of emergency services to any property owner within the project area whose property lies partially or wholly within the shaded area on the Civil Defense tsunami evacuation map, if occasioned by any inundation or high water event or warning, shall be reimbursable to the appropriate responding agency or agencies by the property oNmer receiving the services. If the affected owner does not promptly pay such costs, the subdivision's community association shall be liable for paying the amount due and may attempt to recover from the individual owner as appropriate." 6 Condition to be inserted after Condition E: "A water management plan for the subject property shall be prepared prior to submittal of plans for subdivision review, specifying what measures will be taken to ensure that total usage oFwater for this project from the aquifer under Kohala Ranch does noY exceed 76,000 gallons per day. The plan shall include aper-gallon monetary penalty which escalates each time this limit is exceeded, to be paid into a special account that may be used for development of new water sources or as otherwise directed by the Public Utilities Commission. The plan shall be submitted to the PUC for approval, with copies to the Department of Water Supply and the Kohala Ranch property manager " [Since no one outside of Kohala Ranch seems to seriously believe the water wmmitment is likely to be exceeded, they should have no objection to such a provision.] 7. To be inserted before the final sentence in Condition K: "such plan shall, among other things, provide that commercial trash pickup from the project shall be limited to the hours from 9 am to 5 pm-" [We believe this provision is needed to protect owners in the lower part of Kohala Ranch from irritating noise pollution.] 8. The second sentence of Condition O should begin: "The public access plan shall provide for access to preserved historic sites, mauka-makai and lateral shoreline..." 9. We believe ft is not good public policy to say that highway impact fees may be applied toward access improvements required by the project itself. The applicant should be required to make any needed highway alterations directly attributable to the development, and in addition to pay its fair share of regional impacts. Tlus is the fair
