story building which would house the Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant. It will include the <br />indoor as well as outdoor dining and it will also have a drive through. Access to the property- <br />primary access to the property would be from Palani Road at the lower portion closer towards the <br />hotel. This would be both ingress and egress. There will also be a- also a driveway that leads <br />out, right turn only from the property to Kuakini Highway. The property also would include <br />several areas for parking- several parking stalls meeting the code requirement. It€ll be <br />constructed by the end of this year or early 2006 at an estimated cost of 2 million dollars. The <br />Planning Director is recommending approval of this particular request with conditions. We also <br />received a recent correspondence from the Kona Traffic Safety Committee expressing some of <br />their concerns. One of the concern was to make sure that there€s adequate- concern relative to <br />the expansion of, or widening of Kuakini Highway. And just talking to Mr. Emler from the <br />Department of Public Works, the right-of-way has been- would be taken from the mauka side of <br />the prop- of the highway rather than the- affecting the subject property. Is that correct? <br />EMLER:Justtoclarify.Ibelievethere€salreadyan80footwiderightofway <br />which is consistent with the- the balance of Kuakini which is under improvement construction <br />right now. There would be no improvement widening on the project- on the Nextel project side <br />of Kuakini. The sidewalk that is already there existing is already on the property line so they <br />would not have to widen Kuakini to this side in the sense of the improvements that would be <br />necessary. All improvements for widening the roadway to install additional lane-age would <br />occur on the other side of the road. <br />HAYASHI:Okay, thanks for the clarification. With that, are there any questions? <br />GALDONES:Commissioners are there any questions? Commissioner Springer. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Do I understand correctly that it€s right turn only off of and <br />onto Kuakini Highway? <br />HAYASHI:Yes from the property there would be right turn out only. <br />SPRINGER:Okay. And right turn in only? <br />HAYASHI:There would be no ingress from this particular section. <br />SPRINGER:Exit only. <br />HAYASHI:Yeah. <br />SPRINGER:And on the- I guess it€s the Palani Road entrance- is there left- are left <br />turns permissible off of Palani Road? <br />HAYASHI:They could- there€s no restriction as far as this- their proposal is concerned <br />nor are we restricting that by our conditions so they can go either direction. <br />SPRINGER:And- does Public Works agree with that left turn in and out of the facility? <br />2 <br /> <br />
