improvements then for these lots there€s a little bit of a dilemma in that if you do need their <br />money to do the improvement they don€t have to pay it and they can€t, becausethey€re not <br />getting final subdivision approval. That€s the one concern that I€d have there. <br />ALAMEDA:CommissionerWatanabe any follow-up on that? <br />WATANABE:No, let me ponder on that. I understand what you€re saying. <br />ALAMEDA:Other Commissioners any thoughts? Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:I-. We€ve discussed this a lot in the 3 years I€ve been on the Commission <br />as these things come up and you know and I first started voting in support of such rezonings you <br />know I did understanding that there was a lot more parcels on the map that would be coming and <br />knowing that the intersection problem would worsen. And you know as Mr. Mooers says <br />conditionsareoutofcontrol.TheapplicantwhenthatmoneygetsspentandIdon€tparticularly <br />feel like I feel, I don€t feel obligated to run piggy back with what the Council is proposing as a <br />way to sort of push the Department of Public Works. I think we just can indicate that you know <br />we€d support Council efforts to get improvements made but I don€t feel like we need to throw <br />that in as what they€re choosing to do as an additional condition of the ordinance that we are <br />recommending to them they will certainly deal with it as they wish at their time. But I don€t <br />want to particularly piggy back onto their way of dealing with it. <br />ALAMEDA:Any questions for our applicants? We€re not in discussion yet but I just <br />wanted to, before we go there. All right, seeing no further questions for our applicants or staff <br />we do have one testifier. Could you please be seated at this time and we€ll call you back? And <br />Mr. Joel Gimpel? Please come forward. Mr. Gimpel could you please raise your right hand? <br />Thank you. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii County Planning <br />Commission? <br />GIMPEL:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. Could you please state your name and address for the record? <br />GIMPEL:Yes my name is Joel Gimpel. I live at 73-4686 Hina Lani Street in Kailua <br />Kona. I€m here representing the Kona Traffic Safety Committee. <br />ALAMEDA:Proceed. <br />GIMPEL:Thank you. Good morning. It still is morning and aloha. This application <br />to permit subdivision in Kaloko Mauka, is yet another in that series of Kaloko Mauka rezonings <br />that have to be considered in isolation because that must not be considered in isolation because <br />they have a cumulative effect on traffic conditions. And as we noted in other rezoning <br />applications for property in Kaloko Mauka, including those filed by Grover, Totah, Gesling, and <br />Smith, which together account for at least 11 additional lots, each would probably have only <br />minimal effect on traffic in the area, but when added to the lots already approved and lots sure to <br />be added in the future, the traffic volume and safety at the Kaloko Drive/Hwy 190 intersection <br />EXHIBIT C <br />7 <br /> <br />
