RHO: Cause I noticed that there was a discussion between yourself or your representative and the Department of Transportation about possibly putting an entrance onto the roadway adjacent to your property, the roadway going ocean to mountain; and there was a reply from you folks that it really wasn’t feasible because it wouldn’t meet the County standard or -. MANFREDI: There is an existing roadway and parking area that enters Highway 11 here and goes all the way back to, there’s a buffer zone from these lots in the back. This by the way is the proposed sewer site for Naalehu. But this is a paved driveway which is shared by both of these, this being a residential, the existing lot and this is a commercial establishment that exists now. RHO: And that driveway is shown in the picture? Is that we see in the picture? MANFREDI: Yeah, it’s shown as AC pavement. RHO: Well, I assume that this is asphalt. But is this the driveway that’s shared by the two, right? MANFREDI: Yes. GRAHAM: Are you clear, Commissioner Rho, or do we have further questions of the applicant here, or -? RHO: Well, I guess I really would like, I mean, I know what your position is. Do you want to add to your position about the driveway and the roadway leading into Mamalahoa versus the State Department of Transportation people saying that you folks should consider doing an entrance on the side road or from the side road, especially when I read through the material I didn’t know that that driveway was shared. So when I looked at the picture, I see that commercial sign which made me go back through all the material again to find out what the zoning was for the neighborhood and the parcel next door, which would be consistent, which is what you guys are asking for. So my next question to myself was whether or not that was a shared driveway since that sign is so close to the driveway. LIM: That is a shared driveway. There are two side-by-side access easements. RHO: So I just wonder whether or not the State Transportation people know that that’s a shared driveway and whether or not that makes any difference or whatever, but -. LIM: The two access easements show up side by side on the tax map so I’m assuming they know. The position that we took is that if they tried to move the driveway around to what’s called Kukui Road side we probably wouldn’t be able to meet the County’s setback requirement for driveway from the intersection of 75 feet; and what that would also do is it would basically require us to tear up the whole wall and all the trees.
