The concern, we€ve received quite a number of letters this morning from <br />surrounding property owners. One of the main concerns is the access. What we€ve done in our <br />conditions, if I can draw your attention to the conditions -. Condition No. 5, we€re asking that <br />the Applicant be solely responsible for the maintenance for where the County-maintained area <br />ends, which is in this particular location, which is approximately a half a mile from the entrance <br />to the Applicant€s property. We€re asking them to regravel that particular area and maintain that <br />portion of the roadway. <br />Condition No. 3, this will be a new condition that we€re going to be placing in these types of <br />retreat facility-type permits that come in. We€re trying to prevent these types of facilities turning <br />into an overnight accommodation without being associated to some sort of program offered <br />within the retreat facility. We don€t want to see this turned into an overnight hostel, or a large <br />inn, or B&B, or something to that extent. Condition 3 states that the project shall be operated as <br />a retreat facility and that all overnight guests shall be enrolled in a program, class, or other <br />activity operated at the retreat facility. <br />Condition No. 6 requires the Applicant to utilize a van shuttle service to help minimize the <br />impacts along Waikaalulu Road. <br />Lastly, Condition No. 10, this is a unique condition. The Applicants are going to be required to <br />create a conservation agricultural easement for the remaining 24 plus acres of the property so <br />that these remaining acreages will be kept in either Agricultural or Conservation uses. Two <br />questions that have been brought up in reference to this. It€s (1) can additional dwellings be <br />constructed in this area? Within the condition it says that additional farm dwellings may be <br />constructed as long as they comply with Planning Department€s Rule 13, which has to do with <br />2EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
