situation in Waimea. So we certainly support the notion of the traffic management plan, which is now found in the conditions. We also have agreed to, you know, going through a plan approval process and notifying our neighbors of that plan approval process before it occurs, and weÓll ensure that we continue to get community input for our improvements. And we also have signed on for annual progress reports to the County. And this is something, which I would like to see, you know, done around the island that once these conditions are put into permit approvals that there is an annual update to the County indicating that progress is being made, that agreements are being abided by, and that we are still on track with the things we said we were going to do. And we certainly feel that we have a commitment to abide by all the conditions of the agreemen fashioned that is also portion of your documents today. So put all together, I think on the one hand I feel as though IÓve met my fiducially responsibility to the school that theses are things that the school can do, I feel as though IÓve met my responsibility to my students, which is on the one hand to provide them with adequate facilities and on the other hand to provide them with a safe way to get to and from school, and I feel at the same time help the school to meet its requirement to the community to lessen our impact as much as possible, to provide a quality school alternative for the Waimea area and to maintain safety for the residents of the entire community. So, on that basis I think weÓve done a pretty good job of balancing those different needs. Margaret, do you want to say something about the agreeme WILLE: Yeah, if I could, thank you. I just want to lend my support to this application, of course, provided that you agree to put in our consensus agreement. And I mention there is a, Planning Department submitted its recommenda did on behalf of the community Î and it wasnÓt just us, thereÓs a lot of interaction here among all different parties for the lot of agendas Î but is that you would, so you would incorporate this agreement as a condition as part of your Use Permit. And I just want to honor Carl. I mean I think if he said to you really, you know, what the basics that the Planning Department gave you was really gone far enough, I expect a lot of people would vote in favor of it. But he stood by this, and I want to support it. There were a lot of things that community members wanted in addition that we did not put in here. And I really, we worked for a lot of balance and went back, I think, a lot of empathy in putting each other, standing in each otherÓs shoes. I did just want to give a couple of examples of how our agreement goes beyond the Planning DepartmentÓs and sort of where the emphasis was. And I think on really this emphasis on pedestrian safety and not just in terms of accommodating traffic. For example, in our agreement, if you go over to where the middle school is going to be, it would also provide that there is a separate sidewalk entrance that would access to the middle school and not just coming in through the driveway Î so trying to keep where student access is on sidewalks and not through just the same place the cars enter. The same thing on the Lindsey Road parking lot Î right now there is no separate entrance, no separate sidewalk entrance, itÓs all combined. So, and the raised sidewalk goes beyond the Planning Department. So in terms of that and other emphasis in the CDP, we sort of expanded it, and in some ways, I think, beyond the comfort zone of the Planning Department to sort of just say we are recommending this. So, and maybe itÓs because whether they want to be, this is a precedent for other developments, but Carl stands behind it. We, he had me come down to do a signing where we both were going to sign, and I 10 EXHIBIT A
