made to work with the Waimea community to come to agreement or solution on some of the issues that were brought up at the last hearing, and mainly those issues were traffic Î traffic increase, traffic congestion, pedestrian and vehicle safety Î and use of the gymnasium. So in that letter Parker School outlined some actions that they were willing to implement to address those issues. You also in your packet have a letter from the Waimea Community Association, which was one of the parties that Parker School worked with to come to agreement. And thereÓs actually been a revision to the agreement; they have a signed agreement between the Waimea Community Association and Parker School, and the applicant can speak more to that later. But IÓll just go over a few of the changes that the Department is recommending. If you look at Page 6 of the Summary of Changes, thereÓs a few pretty significant changes here. One is that the school is agreeing to limit the enrollment of the elementary school to 150 students, IÓm sorry, the combined middle and elementary school to 300 students -. GIFFIN: Excuse me, Maija, what number are you referring to on Page 6? COTTLE: IÓm sorry. IÓm looking at No. 8, Condition 8. GIFFIN: Okay. COTTLE: So for Condition 8 theyÓve agreed to an overall enrollment of the entire campus, thatÓs including the high school, of 450 students, and an enrollment cap on the elementary and middle school of 300 students. They also, on Condition 9, have agreed to reduce the size of the proposed gymnasium from 400 seats to 250 seats. And while we are on Condition 9, IÓm going to refer to another change the Department is recommending Î you should have a green sheet Î and that also will limit the hours of the gymnasium to 10:00 p.m. at night, up to 10:00 p.m. at night. And it also provides that, if after-school activities are occurring in the gym that involve persons other than Parker School students, the vehicle arrivals before 6:00 p.m. would be limited to 14 vehicles. And the reason for that condition is there was a concern of use of the gymnasium for community uses during peak hours of traffic; so thatÓs to limit arrivals during peak hours, during the p.m. peak hour. Going back to the yellow Summary of Changes, Condition 10 was added. This was brought up at the last hearing; the Police Department and Department of Public Works had supported the idea of requiring a connector driveway from the Lindsey Road parking lot through to either KapiÒolani or PuÒuk Road. And since then the applicant has decided that they donÓt, itÓs not necessary for them to expand their parking Lindsey Road, so we added that as a condition, and removed the prior conditions referring to installing no-left turn signs on Lindsey Road at the driveway entrance and requiring that internal connector driveway Î those two conditions were removed. And, letÓs see, if you also look at Condition 11, in that condition we added that the applicant provide a concrete curb, a gutter and a sidewalk along Lindsey Road, and that would be from the existing sidewalk here at the edge of the school campus up to the corner of KapiÒolani and Lindsey Road; so now there will be sidewalks from here up to the middle school entrance in this app Public Works Department and the applicant and the Planning Department all met and discussed the pick-up and drop-off area in front of the school at Lindsey Road. That was an area of concern for Department of Public Works because it was causing tr Kawaihae-Lindsey Road intersection. And since the last hearing ment of Public Works has implemented some re-striping of that area so that vehicles can pull further up away from the 3 EXHIBIT A
