Kawaihae intersection, and that is hopefully going to reduce the congestion through that intersection. So, that Condition 11 of the previous recommendation was removed, and that was to eliminate the school pick-up/drop-off area. We are also going to require upon approval of the Permit, if it is approved, that the school provide active management of the pick-up and drop-off area on Lindsey Road to actually have a staff member out there directing traffic, having people pull forward, if need be. And then Department of Public Works, if you look at Condition 16, theyÓre recommending that the applicant widen the Lindsey Road parking lot driveway on the schoolÓs property thatÓs currently a really narrow driveway Î itÓs about, I believe, 14 feet wide; so they are asking the applicant to widen that so that vehicles can move in and out more efficiently. And then we also added No. 17, which requires that, upon Final Plan Approval of the construction of the middle school and gym, that the applicant submit a traffic management plan, and that plan would be approved by Department of Public Works-Traffic Division in consultation with the Police Department, to show how theyÓre going to manage all of the vehicle traffic on Lindsey and KapiÒolani and PuÒuk Road during special events and for pick-up and drop-off activities. And then the last condition that we added was No. 31; this is adding a requirement that the applicant submit an annual progress report to the Planning Department to show how the development is coming along and how the conditions of approval are being met. And I believe thatÓs about it. I just also want to add that we have two staff here from Department of Public Works Î Ron Thiel is with the Traffic Division and Ki Emler is with the Engineering Division Î and theyÓre here also to answer questions you may have about traffic or pedestrian safety. Mr. Chairman? HOUSEL: Thank you, Maija. Commissioners, do you have any questi staff? Maija, I had one question on one of the conditions Î let me look up the number Î No. 14 now, and thatÓs the Hele-On bus stop thatÓs going to be provided by the school. It seems like, my recollection was that there was a dollar limit on how much the school was going to contribute towards that. Is that still in effect, or -? COTTLE: Our previous condition did not have a dollar limit; that was a discussion that was brought up at the last hearing that the school was willing to pay up to a certain amount, but that was never included in the DepartmentÓs recommendation. HOUSEL: So this condition says that they will provide it whatever the cost. COTTLE: Yes, they will provide a Hele-On bus stop shelter and/or related improvements. HOUSEL: Thank you. Thank you very much. COTTLE: YouÓre welcome. HOUSEL: Will the applicant or representative please come forward? Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the HawaiÒi County Planning Commission? 4 EXHIBIT A
