Applicant in this case Innovations Public Charter School are requested a Special Permit to allow the establishment of a public charter school, elementary school grades 1 through 6 including a after school program, before and after school program, as well as related facilities. The Applicants previously submitted this representation with the application. In their original representation of the school it identified a one way traffic flow from Queen Kaahumanu Highway into the driveway area and then out on an easement access that they have acquired from the adjoining property owner which happens to be the same landowner as the parcel. The parcel in itself is a 5 acre parcel. I mean a 5 acre piece of land located on a larger 15 acre parcel. Within the proposal they are recommending or proposing to convert an existing dwelling into an administrative office and related facilities located here. Theyre proposing to renovate an existing garage structure to classrooms and then also proposing to construct 6 hale type structures for classrooms as well as a bathroom. In the future they were proposing to build 2 more hale structures to allow for the increase of the students from 120 students to 200. More recently the applicants have submitted a revised plot plan. This plot plan again identifies the one waytrafficpattern.ThisisgoingtobearightinfromQueenKaahumanuHighwayontothe property. Theres going to be a turnaround area that allows students to drop, be dropped off as well as a parking lot area and allow the patrons of the school to be able to exit one way traffic flow and a right onto Queen Kaahumanu. Again they are proposing to convert the existing dwelling into administrative offices as well as other related facilities. The existing building in this location to classrooms and instead of the hale structures theyre proposing to build 2 conventionally framed structures that will include classrooms as well as lanai areas within each. Theyre also proposing an open pavilion located approximately here as well as a bathroom area. The conditions to mention if I can bring those to your attention. Condition Number 7 requires the Applicant to make a good faith effort to be able to try to establish an access easement to the north and this would include traversing over this property owned by the same landowner that it owns the parcel that the school is proposing to operate. As well as this parcel here, which is owned by Bishop Estate. To try to connect to Kailua View Estates on either Welo Street or Kakalina Street. If the Applicants are able to receive approval for this access easement a requirement is placed in the condition to have them come back before the Commission and to notify all properties that are bounder- that are going to be located along the boundary of this access easement and have them an opportunity to come before the Commission. Another condition to mention is Condition 9, which requires the school to implement a carpooling policy and this again is to minimize traffic impacts in the area. Weve passed out to the Commissioners a new Condition Number 10. Each condition after this condition will be subsequently renumbered in order. Condition Number 10 is requiring the Applicants to place a no left turn sign facing north at the front of the property so that traffic traveling south on Queen Kaahumanu Highway will be prevented from turning left into the project. The other sign will be placed facing mauka for the people that are coming- that are going to be exiting the project to prevent them from turning left onto Queen Kaahumanu and again establishing a right turn in, right turn out traffic flow pattern. And lastly, Condition Number 11 which was 10, now its renumbered to 11. This conditions states that if the speed limit is required by the Department of Transportation to be lowered from anywhere below 45 mph, the Applicants will be required to not have direct access onto- they will be restricted from direct access onto the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. They will be required to place a gate here and to find an alternative access to the project. That could be either from the Kailua View Estates as we spoke about earlier, possibly from Hualalai 2 EXHIBIT D
