Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 The applicant requests to amend Condition D in order to modify roadway improvement requirements. Specifically, the applicant is proposing to construct the Kawailani Street extension to county dedicable standards rather than simply grading the right-of-way. Regarding Kupulau Street, the current condition requires that the applicant construct the entire Kupulau Street extension from Puainako Street to the southern property boundary to county dedicable standards. With this amendment the applicant would construct the Kupulau Street extension, except for the portion that crosses the drainage easement that runs parallel to Puainako Street. A bridge would need to be built over the drainage easement in order to connect Kupulau Street to Puainako Street. The applicant has indicated that the estimated cost of $3.5 million to build the bridge is an inequitable and excessive burden to place on one developer for a regional road improvement. The changes to this condition also clarify that the timing of road construction would be concurrent with the phases.of development. The Kawailani Street extension is situated in the portion of the property being developed as Phase II and the Kupulau Street extension is situated in the portion of the property being developed as Phase III. Proposed Amendment to Condition H (fair share credits for road improvements): H. The applicant shall make its fair share contribution to mitigate the potential regional impacts of the property with respect to parks and recreation, fire, police, solid waste disposal facilities and roads. The fair share contribution shall be initially based on the representations contained within the change of zone application and may be increased or reduced proportionally if the lot counts are adjusted. The fair share contribution shall become due and payable prior to receipt of Final Subdivision Approval [or within five years from the effective date of this amended change of zone ordinance, whichever occurs first] for that phase of development. The fair share contribution for each lot shall be based on a maximum density for each lot as determined by the zoning resulting from this change of zone. The fair share contribution in a form of cash, land, facilities or any combination thereof shall be determined by the County Council. The fair share contribution may be adjusted annually beginning three years after the effective date of the amendment to the ordinance, based on the percentage change in the Honolulu Consumer Price Index (HCPI). The fair share contribution shall have a maximum combined value of $[11,506.13] 13,312.70 per single-family residential unit. The total amount shall be determined with the actual number of units according to the calculation and payment provisions set forth in this condition. The fair share contribution per single-family residential unit shall be allocated as follows:
