distinctive color, and it's very distinctive on the side of the road, too, not compatible with our rural subdivision. Should this request -, should they not follow this request, even though they have said they are not intending to have fast food at this point, we request that it be a condition of the permit that they pay us an impact mitigation fee of $100 per day with a seven percent annual cost escalator. Since the Applicant has stated that such establishments are not to be part of their plan, it should be no hardship. By the way, as you know, we are a non-profit. We do not hire employee help through people like Altres Staffing Services. The amount, $100 per day, would pay for one person full time at about $7.00 an hour to be out there picking up trash. We do have 40 miles of roadway that would be used. They are only suggesting that people would ` come from Orchidland Drive to the project; however, inaloa and Hawaiian Acre residents routinely already cut through our subdivision to patronize their existing businesses, the anchors of this project. It has created substantial problems for our community already. G.And lastly, we would ask that the Applicant agree to pay the road maintenance fee which has been, by the way, approved by the Board, of $500 per month from the time of groundbreaking of any further development of the project and, effective 7/1/03, which is when the new fee schedule will go into effect, a fee of $250 per month for the existing development, which is the Wiki Wiki Mart and gas station. This project has a vehicular impact of over 500 times an average normal lot usage; and if we pro rated our standard fee that we charge our residents, it would be over $35,000 a year. We are not asking for that, but we are asking for reasonable contribution toward our expenses. These fees have been approved under a new schedule of mandatory road maintenance fees which we do collect under a court order issued by Judge Kimura in 1992; and we have the power to change the actual amount of the fee. And these fees will be effective July 1, 2003, and will also apply to all other commercial projects within Orchidland Estates. There will be a schedule of fees, the top end of which will be for shopping center types, which would apply only at the present time to the Vern Wood project and the Orchidland Gulsons project. However, we would be applying the same standards to any subsequent projects; and we will be also charging extra for things like Bar-King Dog Kennel, which is a single use project but is a commercial project within our community. Please bear in mind, and I'm sure it's redundant to you ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure, but we are a rural development. We are zoned Agricultural, we are not zoned for Commercial. We do want to have commercial development, but we want development that's compatible with the needs of our community. Just so you know, also, as a side bar, the existing development has already attracted negative impact to our community in that the Wiki-Wiki Mart is basically a drug swap 12
