KUBOTA:Tell me exactly where youÓre straightening out. Because looks of that road as itÓs represented on the map, it doesnÓt look as though the viewplane is diminished in any way. I mean, it doesnÓt look curvy or anything. What parts are you talking about? ARAI:Let me try my best, and if I stumble, Ki from Engineering can come up. But if you look at this map here and IÓm hoping you ca is Hualalai Road. You see how it, especially right in this area, itÓs sort of like a nice turn toward Kailua town. And to compare that, constrict your vision right here to right here, you may notice a slight straightening out of this alignment. So Hualalai Road will basically be realigned and it may go actually into the property a little bit right here on the southern end, and then sort of like swinging out and -. ItÓs not as extensive a straightening out as one would hope for, but it is a straightening, much better than what currently exist. So the area youÓll see probably the most improvement, I believe, would be in this area on the northern end. ThatÓs where youÓll see most of the improvements. GALDONES:Commissioner Fujikawa? FUJIKAWA:Daryn, is the County going to assist some way this Applicant in this development? The reason why IÓm asking is that the State of Arizona does have a program like this which is very, very, very successful and it has been with the helping of the County and the State. I think that rather than questioning the Applicant as to, are you sure itÓs going to be pertaining for a senior, I think the County should, also the Council, assist this kind of applicant. IÓd like to see this happen. Like, can the County say put a bus stop nearby there for the senior people, things of that nature, you know, help them out? ARAI:Well, the request thatÓs currently before you is a change of zone request. ItÓs not really specific to the development of an independent living facility. I mean, obviously, weÓre always in support of, in general, in support of providing this type of facility for elderly residents. But, again, we have to keep currently before you is a change of zone. So, in a nutshell, if the County does approve the zoning, then, hey, you know, we are supporting the ApplicantÓs desires. But focus on the change of zone and not so much on this concept here, thatÓs my recommendation. Before we go any further, IÓm sorry, Mr. Chair, I guess I got sidelined -. So I did have about one or two more items to address. GALDONES:You may proceed. ARAI:IÓm not sure exactly whether to put it the lineup of condit we are looking at an additional requirement, one that would provide pedestrian and bicycle pathway between the subject property and The Pines residential community just to the north. So, again, itÓs just to create a puka where if people want to go riding or whatever that can occur. 8
