SUMMERS: No, no, not this. BOWMAN: Okay. SUMMERS: This is out of pocket. This is not that money. BOWMAN: I just have a comment because IÓm sure itÓs backed up during the school days Î people coming down to drop their kids into the school property. SUMMERS: The impact on Palani Road is the school traffic during commute hours; thatÓs where you see the backup, yes. BOWMAN: Right. I mean, I guess as a citizen I feel like, you know, the church has a lot of responsibility with this and, you know, I thank you for doing it because I think the school again creates as much a problem with the traffic flow. And I really thank you for doing this, and I hope that, you know, when you are working with the school that it will help you and the school. SUMMERS: We do have a collaborative relationship with the school. They are totally separate from us, but we have, because we are right next door to each other and some of the people who attend our church are involved in that school quite significantly, weÓve had a longstanding relationship of working with them on things. So we donÓt know what the future holds in terms of whether we get reimbursed for any of the turn lane work or anything else; thatÓs not a condition of our doing it. As the school proceeds and grows, then you know, maybe there will be an opportunity for that. But our mission in doing it was to live up to what we agreed to in Special Permit 1010, which was the requirement for us, not for t school will benefit significantly. We are wanting to see the traffic improvement on Palani as much as you all are. We drive that everyday as well. And so you canÓt see it from the plans that were on here, but actually the improvement to Palani is beyond just adding a turn lane; the improvement to Palani in that section will include super elevation on the mauka side of the turn, which is not now there. In other words itÓs a slightly banked turn, and the turn radius will be softened to a 400-degree radius from its present Î I donÓt know, I donÓt remember what it is Î but itÓs much sharper curve; you can see it in one of these pictures. So it will be a much smoother turn that will have much safer transition from the turn to the town-bound lanes heading down hill. So we are very excited about being able to provide that in the way that not only it makes it safe for our folks and for the churchÓs folks but also adds imme BOWMAN: Thank you. WATANABE: Thank you. Mr. Housel. HOUSEL: I frequently travel Palani in this area often. And as you are aware, there are some safety issues in the area; there have been some serious accidents there in the last few years, and so definitely improvement is necessary to maintain the safety, improve the safety. And IÓm very pleased to see that the utility poles have been relocated. ThatÓs good progress. IÓm happy to see that happened. Now, you have an existing agree lane within the next year. Is that correct? EXHIBIT A 18
