would accommodate a possible future mauka-makai road to the Mamalahoa Highway along the alignment shown as road 4. Road 4 they would had to contribute to if it was done as a public project or if another developer came in and got a rezoning that required them to build a portion of road 4. Then road 5 is a small stub that forms their connection to another road that goes north-south, parallel to Mamalahoa Highway and at one end thats on the Palani end that would be Kealakaa Street. And then it would be, the long range plan is that that gets extended across and connects to Holoholo Street and across Kaiminani and through existing subdivisions to eventually to this location. So you would have those parallel connections and those mauka- makai connections. Do you have any questions on this map before, then we can go to the larger the more original map. GRAHAM:Sure, so starting at the beginning where the mauka-makai road connects to Queen Kaahumanu Highway seems like in all the stuff Ive been reading theres the issue about whether the airport road should be made into a 4-way intersection or whether it should be a new one.Areyousayingtheressortofageneralconsensusnowthatweregoingtomakeanewone or are you just saying that this is the Planning Departments recommendation or where are we at? YUEN:This came, this was hashed out specifically on, this is where road 1 connects to the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This was hashed out at the Land Use Commission mostly involving the State DOT and the applicant. And the State DOT eventually accepted this as being a better connection. From the standpoint of getting people onto a parallel road network it does have the advantage of bringing people into that further north. If you connected at, by the airport which is about another mile or so south youre losing some of the advantage of that parallel road system. But this was ultimately what DOT wanted. GRAHAM:Okay then moving up to road 3. It looks like road 3 is connecting into another road that goes across to Kaiminani Drive. Is that road in place and all? YUEN:No. Thats also, thats an alignment shown on the tax map. And that was, thats still part of the plan to have a road there. Originally that was to be the mid-level but the mid-level, the idea of what we call the mid-level ws that it would be a big road or arterial road that would parallel Queen Kaahumanu Highway. But when you start to look at the practicalities of pushing it, of having that go through an existing residential subdivision like along Kaiminani, it just doesnt work out. So we would like eventually if the-. If a State property between Palisades subdivision on Kaiminani and Hiluhilu/Palamanui is built out there should be a road that connects the two of them on location. But it wouldnt be the main crossroad to get people north-south, because wed have to go through this existing neighborhood as part of that, part of that road. So the main road to go north-south would be parallel to Kaahumanu would be where 2 was and then extending that from there south to Kailua-Kona. GRAHAM:So I can look at this road kind of drawing I have on my map here as a prior planned road which may come about in the distant future but has it has its problems as far as coming about huh? YUEN:Right. And so thats not something that they are being required to build. EXHIBIT H 5
