GIFFIN: Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to ask the representative to respond to a concern that was <br /> raised by one of the testifiers earlier this morning. Mr. Joel Cooperson mentioned that apparently <br /> there was no attempt at paying for infrastructure. And Mr. Lim, earlier in your testimony you <br /> mentioned the construction of drywells to talk about prevention of flooding. Was that part of what <br /> you would meet infrastructure cost, or is that separate? <br /> LIM: I didn't understand his comment about us not paying for infrastructure, but we are going to be <br /> required by the Department of Public Works to put in all the roads and drainage. Actually, you <br /> know, technically and legally, you are supposed to handle the runoff from your project only; if there <br /> is water coming from the mauka area through your project -. <br /> GIFFIN: Which is the case, right? <br /> LIM: You can't increase it. Yeah. And so, ordinarily we would not be required to pick up all of <br /> water, but that's what we are going to be doing. <br /> GIFFIN: By the construction of the drywells. <br /> LIM: That's correct. <br /> GIFFIN: So that's from water coming from above the subject property. <br /> LIM: Yes, it's coming from the Kona Orchards project. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: Mr. Lim, how many total lots? <br /> LIM: We have 45 lots, which we will be developing through a Planned Unit Development, which <br /> would allow us to create smaller lots in certain areas with the topography will allow it, so we don't <br /> have to cut everything and bench it. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: And you are being required to pay $12,000 per lot in fair share contributions <br /> to the County to mitigate parks, police, fire, solid waste and road improvements. <br /> LIM: If approved, yes. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: So that's roughly how much? <br /> LIM: It's a lot. I don't know -. I think the combined total was about, let's see -. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: I just grabbed my calculator. So your contribution is $542,679.75 in addition <br /> to other infrastructure you are going to be required to do within your development. <br /> LIM: That's correct. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: And the reason that I did not agree to the word "shall" and kept the word <br /> "may" is that there is no guarantee that you will be given credit against the fair share for any of the <br /> work that you do; that's going to be up to the County Council. <br /> LIM: We understand. <br /> 13 <br />
