condition saying that when you do the middle school, you are going to have to do an updated traffic study to determine whether or not these pedestrian improvements remain necessary. RYAN: That would be great. We would appreciate that. VITOUSEK: Okay. With that, we can, you know, if there, if there are any other discussions from the commissioners, any other questions from commissioners, we can seek a motion on this item. Anybody? DEFRANCO: Okay, so I'm, I would like to make a motion. And it, the motion will include the traffic study? Is that right, Mike? The motion would include that, so VITOUSEK: You could make that motion, or you could, you could make just a motion to approve or deny or differ, and then we can amend the motion DEFRANCO: Okay, so I moved that the application to amend Use Permit number 05-001 be approved, based on the planning director's recommendations, which shall be adopted. VITOUSEK: Is there a second? KANUHA: Second. VITOUSEK: Okay, a motion by Commissioner DeFranco, second by Commissioner Kanuha. Discussion? Okay, I, I know I, we are in a tough position where you've got community who are against this, you've got community who want, who have created this, established this need by a settlement to a lawsuit, and it is, you know, deferring, kicking it down the road, while we have it in front of us. But with the upcoming changes, possible changes to the road, possible changes to the access, to me, it makes sense to allow them to go forward with the gymnasium now, defer these improvements until such a time as they know that they need them. Because I personally believe that the honeysuckle hedges in that part of Waimea are a historic feature of the landscape, you know, the traditional Hawaiian songs about the wholeness of color in the area are a testament to that. I think it fits with the Kona Communi- or South Kohala Community Development Plan trying to maintain the historic feel of the town. The other aspect of it is the South Kohala Community Development Plan advocates not only for pedestrian traffic but also equestrian traffic, which could be accommodated on the grass swales, the grass roadways, and keeping the feel of the Community. So I do think that we want to make sure that the improvements are needed before we rush in and build something that's going to change the community. So with that, I would make a motion to amend the motion that's on the table to alter condition 11—and give me a, give me a little bit of time to try to word it, but—and I'll ask help from the Parker School applicant, Mr. Mooers, if you don't mind. MOOERS: All right. 13 EXHIBIT C
