this report is now under review by both the Department of Public Works and the State <br />Department of Transportation. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Springer? Does that satisfy your question? <br />SPRINGER:It does. <br />ALAMEDA:I also want to acknowledge that Mr.Gimpel is on a time limit so if <br />anybody has any questions directly for Mr. Gimpel I€m sure he€ll appreciate that. Other <br />Commissioners? <br />SIRACUSA:Okay well I want, first I wanted to say that if the cost estimate is $339,000 <br />and $432,000 has already been received then money for the project is not the issue obviously. <br />Mr. Gimpel were the improvements that Norman stated the ones that you had in mind that were <br />needed.Ordidyouhaveanyotherimprovementsthathedidnotmentionthatyoufeelare <br />important here? <br />GIMPEL:Not being a traffic engineer I will preface my response with that comment. <br />The other improvement that would be probably a mid to high level cost would be a traffic light at <br />the intersection. As I understand it people coming down Kaloko Drive in the morning trying to <br />get to work in downtown Kailua-Kona have a rather long wait at that intersection in order to turn <br />onto Highway 190. A traffic light would probably reduce that wait somewhat. At least it would <br />be from the flow I would imagine. <br />SIRACUSA:How long is long? <br />GIMPEL:10 to 15 minutes to negotiate it safely from what I understand because you <br />have a lot of backed up traffic coming north on Highway 190 in the morning rush hour. <br />ALAMEDA:Other questions for Mr. Gimpel? Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Joel thanks. Thanks again for following this stuff closely and giving your <br />testimony. I just, you did make mention I think when you were talking about the impact of the <br />traffic of ohanas on these lots and it is one of the conditions in these rezonings that prohibition <br />on second dwelling on this lot. So there€s, we€re not opening up ohanas. <br />GIMPEL:That€s a second dwelling. You could have a large house with all members <br />of one family in there so you have more than 2 cars per residence. <br />GRAHAM:Right but not ohanas. Or maybe you meant ohana in a different way than <br />what I was thinking. <br />GIMPEL:I meant ohana in a different way. <br />GRAHAM:Excuse me. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />6 <br /> <br />
