which it really is, as I recall, in the middle because there are other properties. So it would <br />connect to nowhere. We required them to build that connector road at no cost to the <br />County. But is that the type of mitigation you€re referring to here? Would that have <br />satisfied this? Because while in the future some day when it connects it will help with <br />the traffic, it doesn€t address current regional traffic flow, huh? <br />YUEN:Right. That road probably would not count because it€s not in the <br />General Plan Facilities Map. It€s really a local circulation road. It€s a good question. <br />And I went through a mental exercise of thinking aboutsome of the rezonings that have <br />gone through in Kona and how they would fit or not fit this ordinance. That one is a little <br />tricky. That one actually would probably fall under the 100 peak trips per hour threshold. <br />WATANABE:Okay. But then assuming it did meet the 100 peak hour, then it€s <br />either we don€t do a project or rezoning of that nature because it would probably meet <br />that,ortheycouldthengetanexemptionbyprovidingtwotimes,whichis40percent-? <br />YUEN:Fortypercentaffordablehousing,right. <br />WATANABE:Fortypercentaffordablehousingatthe120percentofmedian <br />income. <br />YUEN:Exactly. <br />WATANABE:Okay. So that would be the exemption to that? <br />YUEN:Right. <br />WATANABE:Okay, okay. <br />YUEN:So a project that came into the Kailua-Kona area that had no real <br />opportunity to build something that was going to fix the traffic problem and didn€t want <br />to wait for the widening to four lanes which might improve the level of service, their <br />option would be we€re going to do more affordable housing than required under this bill, <br />double the affordable housing. <br />WATANABE:Right, double the affordable. By the way, I appreciated your write- <br />up because it did provide a lot of insight into the various situations and maybe some of <br />the situations the Council themselves weren€t thinking of, you know, addressing. Cause <br />the Council said, oh, 100 percent of the homes would be 120 percent of median income, <br />but we€re finding in most cases you can€t. So you wind up with half a credit because <br />you€re over 120 percent of median income and just between 140 percent of median <br />income by the time you finish the home, which means it€s impossible to satisfy that. <br />YUEN:Yeah, unfortunately it€s pretty dubious that a project can be 100 <br />percent affordable and make it on its own as a development. <br />10EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
