GIFFIN: Any other questions of staff? Getting back, Maija, to the Condition No. 6, why did the <br />two agencies encourage us to close the old driveway and include in the condition a connection <br />between the old driveway up to a certain point to the new highway? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Maija, can you go back to the picture that shows where the road is, as well as <br />the driveway? <br />COTTLE: Something like this? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Yeah. <br />COTTLE: This is where the current driveway is – right about here. <br />road that gives you the opportunity to have new access, you try to eliminate or reduce driveway <br />accesses close to that intersection because what you don’t want is, you know, traffic going in and <br />out of the road and then traffic going in and out of the driveway that’s substantial. So when there is <br />an opportunity to direct the traffic onto the side road, generally you’re going to get that kind of <br />recommendation from traffic engineers, because it reduces the opportunities for the traffic coming <br />in and out of that driveway on <br />because somebody driving there only has to worry about people <br />the driveway <br />for, you know, if you have a rodeo event, if you’ve got something where significant traffic is being <br />generated, you want to try and direct the traffic o <br />GIFFIN: Maija, then, what about the gate? Would that be adversely affected? <br />COTTLE: Well, the gate would be closed, if the driveway were permanently closed. <br />GIFFIN: No, I understand that, but right now it’s gated, right? <br />COTTLE: Yes. <br />GIFFIN: So, would that be eliminated totally? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: The gate would remain. And the only reason that we are leaving emergency <br />is, you know, I’m just thinking if there is something happened that somehow messed up Ala <br />Street or, you know, sometimes we have accidents that occur and then the existing access is blocked <br />off and you might have, the people who were working in that area might need an alternative exit, <br />and sometimes, like, you know, something falls down on Palani and traffic is messed up – so those <br />are the kindsof situations, since they have an existing driveway. But most of the time that would <br />just be gated, and it would only be in an emergency situation where they weren’t able to do the <br />access off of Ala <br />5 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
