KIYOSAKI, Chief Engineer <br /> <br /> <br /> SUBJECT: BILL 269 (Draft 2) - CHANGE OF ZONE <br /> Improvements to the Hawaii Belt Highway/Kaloko Drive Intersection <br /> Applicant: Star Market, Ltd. <br /> Tmk: 7-3-26: 5 <br /> <br /> Because the subject intersection is under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii State Department of <br /> Transportation (HDOT), we have and will continue to defer any comments or recommendations to them. <br /> The "fair share" concept being used to improve the subject intersection was developed and implemented <br /> and is inappropriate without the concurrence ofHDOT. An appropriate agreement between HDOT and <br /> the County should have been reached before implementation. The "fair share" contributions are presently <br /> in a County account. In 1994 we tried, unsuccessfully, to transfer funds to HDOT. Although we <br /> understand the concerns being raised by HDOT , this Department does not have the personnel or the <br /> financial resources to construct the intersection improvements on behalf of HDOT at this time. <br /> <br /> Based on our experiences with Kaloko, to have a workable "fair share" condition for highway <br /> improvements, there must be an agency that is willing to advance construction funds before all <br /> contributions are received. The need for it improvements will not occur "overnight" with the completion <br /> of the last development. Improvements will be needed before full development. However, once <br /> improvements are provided, impacts caused by the remainder of the developments would have already <br /> been addressed. Subsequent contributions will than be a reimbursement to the contracting agency. <br /> <br /> If you have any questions, please contact the Galen Kuba, Engineering Division Chief at x8327. <br /> <br /> Enclosures <br /> <br /> cc: DOT Highway (Hawaii District Office) <br /> Eng (Hilo & Kona) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> E( WP Pike'.M1IP.M1fOS`COIiN(YL.WNU(67) <br />
