your core. And so if this is your core, and looking at this last master plan that's already there by
<br /> virtual zoning and already been preliminarily negotiated by different users, you already have that
<br /> red area is identified as your Commercial Neighborhood Center — that's already zoned. The other
<br /> area is referred to rental, affordable and just affordable homes in that area. Again, those properties
<br /> are already zoned. If you look at the property adjacent to the Kuakini Highway, and that's on the
<br /> lower section, they already have preliminary arrangements to work with Innovations to have the
<br /> school over there, and that was also part of the zone change condition that the landowners had, as
<br /> they went through the zoning process for the creation of the commercial area. Then if you look on
<br /> the right side of that, basically the right side of that road would be generally over here, they are right
<br /> now working with the YMCA to get the YMCA situated over there first as having their existing
<br /> planned location along Ali`i Drive. So what you see essentially right over here is the beginning of a
<br /> real hub; you have commercial areas zoned, you have planned residential areas, you have a school
<br /> coming up over here, you have possibly the YMCA over here. So then, if this is your core, the
<br /> surrounding area then becomes your secondary area, which includes Mr. Cook's property, as well as
<br /> JKS. So then the question becomes what is the most appropriate use in the secondary area. To me,
<br /> I think that this plan here is the bull's eye. It's right here in the center. So you go back again to
<br /> what was presented — the core, secondary area and the other area. So we would maintain that you
<br /> already have the beginnings of well thought -out Neighborhood TOD concept over here — core,
<br /> secondary area which includes Mr. Cook's and JKS property, and then the balance of the properties.
<br /> So now, we get to aside from the map portion and looking at the function, look at what the Planning
<br /> Director's first recommendation called for in terms of concurrency, all the improvements that's
<br /> required; if you go with the Director's first recommendation, which you already have, one of the
<br /> requirements is that neither this project or this project here can get final subdivision approval until
<br /> this road here, which is nonexistent, is constructed — that fulfills the concept of concurrency because
<br /> they want to be able to facilitate the development of this core and have everybody kind of filling in,
<br /> notwithstanding the fact that you do have the Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway extension bisecting a
<br /> portion of it, but nevertheless, this is the identified core, call it flexible or floating or whatever have
<br /> you. They only proceeded on the basis that this is the core and let's work with it. So in terms of
<br /> from a land use standpoint, how do you address concurrency, specifically with the roadway
<br /> situation, is already embodied in the Planning Director's initial recommendation. Connectivity,
<br /> connectivity is that this property here is not, these two properties here are not relying on like the
<br /> other subdivision before us, or another project before us, is not relying on any other private
<br /> development; it results in the extension of Ho`omama Street, which already ends right over here,
<br /> and so they have direct access. But Ho`omama Street up until here is only a 50 -foot right -of -way.
<br /> But the intent on the Kona Community Development Plan calls for Ho`omama Street to be extended
<br /> all the way through here and eventually connected to Kakalina Street, and this would be like one of
<br /> your mid - level, and this is your Hualalai Road, so it would be kind of like, that kind of situation. So
<br /> once it hits Mr. Cook and JKS Partners' property, the right -of -way within that area is not 50 feet;
<br /> they go 60 feet wide to accommodate more reasonably this north -south kind of connection. And
<br /> then again, they also have, like, this mauka -makai connection connecting also to this property here,
<br /> which is already previously zoned and it's called Hu- Ko -Pa. So what you see on that last sheet, that
<br /> last sheet here, it shows you the core area, it shows where JKS Partners' property is, it shows you
<br /> where Brian Cook's property is, and it also shows you if and when Hu -Ko -Pa is developed, and the
<br /> property mauka of that area, how your roadway network would all, kind of like, intertwine. And
<br /> one of the things that's very, it has been made painfully clear, too, is that this is not going to be a
<br /> gated community; because if it were a gated community, then it would frustrate the objectives of the
<br /> CDP in terms of achieving connectivity. The bottom line is multiple interpretations of the CDP and
<br /> Neighborhoods, you know, and by virtue of, like, Mr. Matsukawa coming in, Planning Director
