FUKE:Sure. Your Staff’s report, as always, is very comprehensive. And
<br />so if there are specific questions relating to the, you know, the details, you know, relative
<br />to what the Applicant is proposing, we’ll be more than willing to respond to that. The
<br />proposed conditions, you know, I think that, are fairly comprehensive.
<br />We do have like one request that we’d like to have the Planning Department and the
<br />Commission to consider; and this relates to proposed Condition D, as in Delta, in the
<br />Change of Zone conditions of approval. Based on my earlier discussions with your staff
<br />and also the representative of the Department of Public Works, that condition as it reads
<br />right now would mandate that the access to the property be situated on an adjoining
<br />property which is owned by Waikoloa Land Company. The Applicant actually
<br />conceptually does not really have too much of an objection to that. I think that what we
<br />would like to do, however, is to reserve the option to, in the event that such an access
<br />could not be developed, you know, to allow the access to occur in its present location in a
<br />manner where the geometrics and the design of that intersection fulfills the requirements
<br />of the Department of Public Works.
<br />Along that line, we would like to, therefore, suggest that the Department and the
<br />Commission consider the following amendment: Leaving Condition D as is, but just
<br />adding the following sentence which would read as follows: “The approach to Waikoloa
<br />Road may be located within the subject property provided that the access is allowed to
<br />the adjoining mauka property for a common approach to Waikoloa Road, meeting with
<br />the approval of the Department of Public Works.” And, conceptually, what that does
<br />then is that, you know, since the existing access to this property is almost adjacent to an
<br />adjoining property to the north, I mean, to the mauka side, what we’re saying is that if
<br />you’re building your access on the subject property, then make sure that the property on
<br />the mauka side also be given an opportunity to gain access to it; and the developer is
<br />willing to have such a provision. Alternatively, the way the current condition is
<br />structured, it mandates the Applicant to secure its access from a property that it doesn’t
<br />own. You know, we can try to negotiate; and if we’re not successful, then, pretty much
<br />we would be stuck. So we would like to have that option.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Commissioners, any questions to the Applicant? I guess, Director
<br />Yuen, you have something to say?
<br />C. YUEN:Yeah, I just have a few questions. What is the legal status of the
<br />existing access? This is not, is this, this 14.9 acres is not a, currently, a lot of record,
<br />correct?
<br />FUKE:No, it’s a portion of a larger parcel.
<br />C. YUEN:And the portion of a larger parcel -?
<br />FUKE:And then the access -. If you look at the map, the access of this
<br />larger parcel abuts directly the Waikoloa Road, and so that’s where the current access is.
