the County. The right-of-way width from Road 6A to Makalei Drive would be reduced from 88 feet in the current condition to 60 feet. The segment from Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway to the extension of Ane Keohokalole Highway(Road 3A extension)would be completed prior to occupancy within Phase III, and the segment from the Ane Keohokalole Highway extension to Makalei Drive would be completed in Phase IV. At the end of Phase II, 450 residences, 30,000 sq feet of commercial space, 60 hotel units, and a 10-acre improved public park would be constructed with the Ane Keohokalole Highway being the only access into and out of the Palamanui project until Phase III. Kona CDP policy TRAN-6.1 states that concurrency requirements shall be determined by a TIAR completed conforming to the Concurrency Standards of the Zoning Code. In this case, the applicant's 2017 Traffic Assessment indicates the Ane Keohokalole Highway and Ka`iminani Drive-Ane Keohokalole Highway intersection can accommodate the traffic generated by Phase I and II of the Palamanui development and serve as its sole access. Although the Traffic Assessment supports the delay of construction of University Drive and its intersection at Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway to Phase III, the Planning Director has some concern with the lack of multiple access points into the project for emergency response, and therefore recommends a condition be added to have the applicant provide an emergency access road from Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway to the Ane Keohokalole Highway extension over the Road 2C right-of-way, which according to the applicant has already been graded. This condition has been added as new Condition S7 in the draft bill. The Planning Director also believes University Drive should be constructed between Ane Keohokalole Highway and 200 feet makai of Road 6A during Phase III rather than Phase IV since a substantial amount of residential development is proposed north of University Drive and mauka(east) of Ane Keohokalole Highway in earlier phases. The residential development north of University Drive in Phase II would also be better served if University Drive were -20-
