straddles the property line, but it runs along all the way down here. This is the gate, and this was the first flag. And the road that we were on actually headed off in this direction here. The drainage area is generally in this area here. You can see by the topo map and by what you saw there, there is a ditch that runs along here, and then it transitions into this wide swale thats basically created by the berm here. What we will be doing is, if this thing moves forward, there will be a requirement that their civil engineer do a drainage study, and they will delineate the precise boundaries of where the drainage area is. Once that happens, that area will be turned into an easement and we will not be building any lots in that easement area. Right now we have a revised tentative layout, like I said out there in the field. We are not sure how far makai we can go with the lots. I think that will be defined by the drainage study. But right now our plan is basically to keep the same configuration and develop it to the extent that we can. None of the septic systems will be installed in the drainage area. For those of you who havent gone through this process recently, the Department of Health requires that you do a percolation testforeachsepticsystemthatyoudo;andthisinvolvespre-soakingthegroundactuallyfora substantial period of time, and then you introduce additional water into it, and then they basically judge how fast, or they measure in fact, how fast the water perks out. We have a sanitary engineer doing that work for us right now. He should be getting his report into us any day soon. But weve worked in similar soils; we know that it does percolate. And its, really the function of that report is to size the leach field. But again nothing will be built without the Department of Health permits. The 1,000-foot radius comes across here. The implication of that is that we will not be able to put any septic system, leach fields, within this 1,000 feet. Its possible to build within the 1,000 feet, but you cannot install a leach field within the 1,000 feet. So well be avoiding that. I think that the last physical issue really has to do with access. We dont know exactly how many lots we are going to end up with, maybe between 20 and 25. And those lots actually have access right here off the Mamalahoa Highway. What will happen, you know, once, if we were to develop basically in this area, which path the residents will take we are not sure. But as the Planning Directors letter indicates typical traffic generation from 30 homes would be something like 21 trips during a peak hour. Again we dont know exactly which way theyre going to travel. So whether they are going to come out on Kulaimano Road, come up Pepeekeo Street and enter where the channelized intersection is, or come out where the easement is, we really dont know. But what we do know is that this easement really provides access to a number of lots that are generated down here. Right now our understanding is theres something like 150 lots that were created down there over the past few years through consolidation and resubdivision. And it seems to me that the impact of that, once it builds out, is probably much more significant than our 20 or 25 lots. Taka asked about whether the cost of infrastructure is going to be added on or passed on to the home buyers. For our purposes, that will be the case. We need to basically recover cost that we invest in the project, and so any additional cost is going to have to be passed on. For example, there is a requirement, I think its Condition L, that we pay the impact fee, which is just over 10,000 dollars. DOMINGO:Per unit? 7EXHIBIT A
