WATANABE: Okay, okay. If I might -. BOWMAN: Thank you. WATANABE: We do have Ki here. And I’m thinking that maybe it would be appropriate to have you come up and explain to us, cause there’s some question as to whether you already have the 80-foot easement that you need or whether you need an additional ten feet; and I think it would be appropriate at this time for you to explain your position on this. COTTLE: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Yes? COTTLE: Before Ki speaks, I just want to make a correction. WATANABE: Oh, yes. COTTLE: I have a copy of the site plan that the applicant submitted, and you should have gotten a copy in your background reports, but we just realized that you didn’t. WATANABE: Okay. COTTLE: It does show that there is currently a ten-foot wide landscaping area. So if we did require the ten-foot road widening easement, it would not impact the parking spaces unless the five-foot landscaping easement -. WATANABE: Was also required. And I would assume then that you would naturally waive the landscaping requirement, if you didn’t need to take advantage of the ten-foot road widening easement. COTTLE: I would defer to DPW to answer that because that was their recommendation. WATANABE: Okay, okay. That makes it a little more palatable, I think, yeah? Okay. But, Ki, maybe you can explain and confirm or, you know, about the 80 feet. EMLER: Kamanu Street is right now predominantly an existing 60-foot wide right- of-way; in fact, it is a 60-foot wide right-of-way. We are in the process of obtaining additional right-of-way between Hina Lani Street and Olowalu Street for widening on the mauka side in order to accommodate traffic circulation improvements that are being made for Kaloko Phase III and Phase IV Subdivision, which is under development on the mauka side of this area. And those improvements required a 20-foot wide widening, and so we -. The reason for that is the traffic study indicated there would be a need for a double left-turn lane to Hina Lani Street that would be a northbound double left-turn lane right there at that intersection and then also a right- turn lane.
