Communication 362 Bill 123 Page 3 of 13 request. In cooperation with the DLNR-HPD, the Applicant has decided to perform additional data recovery on archaeological Feature A in lieu of preservation, and a data recovery plan for Site 50-] 0-28-2005 was prepared in 2004 for Feature A and the associated cultural deposit (Appendix 3 of the application). By letter dated June 23, 2004 (Appendix 4 of the application), the DLNR-HPD approved the proposed data recovery plan for the site. • The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) identifies the parcel "X," or outside the 500- year flood plain. 7. Requisite of the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for the Change of Zone request are approximately nineteen conditions contained in Bill No. 123 that outline specific requirements for the proposed project. At the August ]6 Planning Committee meeting, Tony C. Nee, President of KPC Villages LLC, and Sandra P. Song, representative for the Applicant, provided this committee with background information about the origins and purpose of Bill No. 123. The Applicant explained that the Planning Department suggested the change to Resort-Hotel zoning a few years ago as a means of accommodating the Applicant's desire to allow commercial uses on the subject parcel. The Planning Department requested that one condition of approval for the rezoning request be that the Applicant dedicate a road reserve on the southern end of the subject property, to be used as a future connector road (a proposed "Village Bypass" road) between Ali`i Drive and Kuakini Highway. The Applicant's agent requested a deferral of this matter until the Planning Committee's September 7 meeting. Council member Hoffmann requested that preliminary discussion on the matter be allowed so that the Applicant could better address Council members' concerns at the September 7 Planning Committee meeting. Council member Hoffmann expressed concern about the current level of traffic congestion on Ali`i Drive at the site of the proposed development. Mr. Hoffmann also questioned whether the Applicant's traffic study adequately addressed traffic impacts for the proposed project. Mr. Nee responded that the TJAR did not specifically address the commercial uses proposed for the parcel, since the exact nature of these commercial uses has not been determined yet. Council member Jacobsen stated that he will support additional public hearings on this application before making a final decision. Council member Isbell requested that the Applicant provide additional information at the next Planning Committee meeting on the cost of the residential units and clarification as to whether they would be made available for sale or rent. The Applicant responded that he is presently considering utilizing the 67 proposed residential units for hotel or condominium use, rather than as longer-term rental units. PC REPORT NO. 54
