at the developer's cost. Condition V3 (new Condition T3): This condition relates to the Ane Keohokalole Highway Extension(Road 3A Extension)within the Palamanui property. With the recent completion of the Ane Keohokalole Highway segment by the applicant between Ka`iminani Drive and the University, the DPW determined that it would be most appropriate to extend the highway through the Palamanui property as an arterial roadway, rather than have Road 6A (located to the east) serve as the north-south arterial roadway through the property.
