HOUSEL: Yeah, could you hold your question, please? Commissioner Giffin. <br /> GIFFIN: Mr. Chairman. Jeff, in the testimony we heard this morning there were references to three <br /> different existing subdivisions — Kona Orchards, Pualani Estates and Heights at Hualalai. On that <br /> other map, could you show me where those subdivisions are in relationship to the subject property? <br /> DARROW: Okay, we have Pualani Estates -. <br /> GIFFIN: The yellow. <br /> DARROW: Which is mainly the yellow, correct. And we have Hualalai Heights identified with the <br /> lighter yellow, or tan. And then we have, I believe this is called Sugar Cane Lane Subdivision. <br /> And then additionally, I believe this was the area that the other testifiers testified, mauka of the <br /> project, which is called Kona Orchards, I believe. <br /> GIFFIN: Okay. There was also reference during their testimony that there was going to be use of <br /> some private roads for the subject agenda items. Where are those roads? <br /> DARROW: The private road that they were referring to is Pualena Street, which is this road. This <br /> would be Puapua'anui Street, and that is the main mauka -makai connector. And then you have <br /> these, this is actually a stub -out on this particular road that appears to be there to create connectivity <br /> to the parcels to the north, and so that's the road that they were referring to there. Now, <br /> additionally, they were also referring to a proposed road that's required from this applicant to <br /> provide connectivity to these particular parcels to allow connection to Hualalai Street. <br /> GIFFIN: And those roads that you just pointed out, the testifiers said that those were in fact private <br /> roads. Is that true, Jeff? <br /> DARROW: At this time they are not dedicated to the County, so they are considered private. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: Jeff, is there a requirement in the future that the roads be dedicated to the <br /> County? <br /> DARROW: I'm not sure about this particular road, but we would need to make sure of that. Ki, are <br /> you familiar whether or not that's -. <br /> HOUSEL: Ki, would you come forward, please? <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: The other thing that I wanted to point out is, if you look at the alignment of <br /> Hualalai Road, you can see that it curves a lot. But that one portion below the subject property, on <br /> the property that's already been rezoned, that's the one area where it's fairly straight. And when we <br /> were looking at this, we felt that that was the best place to have a road access Hualalai for sight <br /> distance purposes, as oppose to trying to bring a road in on another section, because the sight <br /> distance along that area is very good, whereas if you try to do it further mauka with the curves <br /> closer to Hienaloli, then you don't have good sight distance because of those curves. And that was <br /> one of the decisions made that the connection should be there. If you do a connection further up, <br /> then you really have to re- engineer Hualalai. And that might be something that Ki could address. <br /> 5 <br />
