and theyÓre improving their entire frontage on Hualalai which takes you just about up to this property, so the top part is being improved. FUJIKAWA:I see. Okay. So the University of Nations is also obligated on their part to correct part of that besides Mr. CookÓs development, right, improvement? YUEN:The immediate frontage of the University of Nations that yo rezoned, now they do have a pending, they have a pending Land Use Commission application for the rest of their property which is below the frontage area and what conditions, there may be additional conditions put on on that. But the frontage of the University of Nations which is mauka of this is being improved. Is there any general fund to improve Hualalai Road that is being imposed on? EMLER:No. YUEN:I didnÓt think so. And who has to contribute to this sidewalk fund? EMLER: Actually, IÓm not sure that we can call it a sidewalk fund. Specifically, it was a fund that was set up from contributions made from the Hualalai Elderly Living facility. I think two deposits of $100,000 each. I could be wrong about that amount; and itÓs just sitting there waiting for a project. As far as we know, weÓre keeping an eye on it to make sure it gets implemented on Hualalai Road if possible. But IÓm not sure whether there is actually a requirement or anything stipulating that it has to be used there. GALDONES:Thank you, Ki. Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:At the end of last year, this was passed out to us. I donÓt think it was in regard to any particular application but responding to a request that Commissioners had made. And there is reference to Hualalai Road safety improvements under Item 14, County and State, and it reads: ÐCounty and State agencies are looking to future improvements of Hualalai Road. The State is considering realignment and intersection improvements with Kaahumanu Highway to align the proposed Kahului- Keauhou Parkway and the County is considering improvements from Kaahumanu Highway to the proposed improved Hienaloli Road and be I think that the concern is not so much from overall concerns with regard to moving above, travel above the proposed development but below the propo where the road is particularly curving, there are limited site distances, and this increasing speed on the part of the users. Traffic considerations are of a great concern to me here in Kona where applicants may meet all of the legal requirements of a zoning application. The consideration of what occurs on the highways may or may not be taken up by us in our discussions. But with the discussion on the trip generation by the target audience of this applicant, my concerns are somewhat abated that in our disc indicated that there are just fewer trips generated by the target audience of this application. 16
