YUEN:As a general rule, for uses in- for Ag uses and single family residential uses the code doesnt require pavement. Now schools would normally be located in a commercial zone. The public school can be located anywhere but I believe the standards for public school would be a paved parking lot, the normal public school. I dont want to change the recommendation right now. Theres some safety aspects to the maintenance of an unpaved parking area. As far as- this is the kind- the Commission can change the recommendation if they want. GALDONES:Seeing no further questions. Mr. WOERNER? MR. WOERNER:Okay the second- GALDONES:Hold on, theres a question. Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Thankyou.Intheconclusionofthetrafficimpactanalysis,page8of8, theres a sentence which reads that However, by changing the school hours so that the arrivals and departures at the school are during non peak hour traffic periods, traffic congestions particularly at Hualalai Road can be reduced. Is the school anticipating adjusting their school hours? MS. WOERNER:Our school is willing to do whatever it takes to make this work and Im sure well be happy to adjust our hours. YUEN:We- we didnt put that in as a condition. It would be nice if the school did adjust its hours to whatever is best. Im not convinced that it makes that much difference. And Im not convinced that in a few years its going to make any difference at all. And Im surprised to see- I think the traffic does taper off considerably now a bit later in the day but as I say Im not- I wasnt, I didnt want to lock the school into a- I didnt want to put a particular condition in right now that locks you into a certain time because it may not make much- in a few years it may not make much difference. There may be a better time in a few years. GALDONES:Mr. WOERNER was the possibility of bussing the students to school considered and was it cost prohibitive to do so? MR. WOERNER:I would defer to the school administration. MS. WOERNER:Charter Schools are treated a little differently than regular public schools and they do not- only not receive facility funding but they dont receive bussing either. So, if we wanted to bus our students we would have to provide the transportation ourselves. Its a possibility but it is very expensive and as I mentioned before the budgets for charter schools are about, right now theyre at about 50% of what a regular public school is. So, it would put a burden on us but its something that could happen. GALDONES:Any further questions of Mr. WOERNER regarding the traffic? Commissioner Graham? 13 EXHIBIT D
