MATSUMOTO: Commissioner DeFranco, I'm not aware of the paving for the Highways Division, so I can't speak to that, but there is no design plan for that Kaloko intersection that I'm aware of. DEFRANCO: Okay. All right, so all of this money that's been there for all of this time has just sort of been sitting there in the bank, waiting for some, some group to come together and say let's look at this and let's get this done. So, is that right? County is not looking at doing this themselves. VITOUSEK: Would the, does the County have any preference on whether the applicant would proceed with commissioning this traffic impact analysis report in lieu of the fair share contributions for that or would you rather take the money and run? MATSUMOTO: From the DPW perspective we don't have any preference either way. I mean we should definitely have a discussion with the State because, like Mr. Fuke said, right, the State has control of that intersection. VITOUSEK: Yeah, so the discussions with the State being, or serving, what end? MATSUMOTO: The purpose is, you know, even if we do the report, are they open to the idea of you know, putting in any improvements? VITOUSEK: I mean if, it seems like they want improvements to be constructed for them and given to them from the correspondence that's been provided; there has been a pretty good history of them requesting that this be done at no expense to them and handled by the County, as the County has allowed the change of zone to increase the density. So it seems from the correspondence—and we don't know, of course, because they haven't provided updated correspondence on how they currently are but the history of the correspondence indicates this is an issue that they want to have resolved and they want these improvements, so it would seem as though that would be something that we should all be working towards. Commissioner Knowles. KNOWLES: All right,just a point of clarification, and forgive me if this is a silly question, I, is it within our purview then to make a recommendation, if we decide that we want to do that, that the working group, that that requirement continue on as part of the permit? I'm just trying to figure out the mechanism, as you were saying, you know, what's the, what's the clear line, what's the next step? Is that something that's within this this Commission's purview? VITOUSEK: Maybe, maybe Maija can answer that best. JACKSON: I think it is within your purview, but it's an interesting question since it's not going to be a condition of the permit put onto the applicant; it's more something that the Commission is asking the County to do. KNOWLES: That's why I'm asking the question because it's not, it's not, I mean it's sort of in the condition? 11 EXHIBIT C
