To date, the County has collected $558,781.84 for those improvements. <br /> Because of the specificity of the language in the pertinent Change of Zone Ordinances, the <br /> funding must be used for the subject intersection improvements. <br /> Beginning in 1994, the State Department of Transportation (SDOT) provided comments on <br /> change of zone applications in the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision and suggested that the <br /> improvements to the subject intersection include street lighting, a left-turn storage lane, and <br /> adequate sight distance. A copy of the correspondence has been enclosed for your reference. <br /> In 2002, a Change of Zone Ordinance condition required the applicant to perform a conceptual <br /> design analysis and cost estimates for the intersection improvements meeting with the approval <br /> of SDOT. That work was subsequently performed and conditionally approved,per the enclosed <br /> correspondence. <br /> Because work is to be performed at a State intersection, we are requesting that you accept the <br /> existing and future funds for the intersection improvement. We recognize that the 2006 <br /> conceptual design may no longer be pertinent but encourage you to use the funds available to <br /> perform any required design analysis and/ or a Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR). These <br /> funds can also be used for the construction of the improvements. <br /> Planning Dept. <br /> Exhibit <br /> www.cohnlanninadent.co Hairai'i Count},is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer planning'a co.ha%%aii.kus <br />
