ATTA: Right now our plan is to do 30 percent affordable and to do it on that mauka land. That’s our plan. DOMINGO: On property? ATTA: Yes. WATANABE: Did you say 30 percent? ATTA: Yes. That’s been, that’s what we started from the start. We know that the County requirement is 20 percent but from the very beginning we’ve been saying that, you know, we’ll be doing 30 percent, although the condition is just standard County, and that’s fine. But, you know, from our plans we’ve always had 30 percent as our plan. WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Yes, Ms. Bowman. BOWMAN: I want to apologize because I think, like Ms. Siracusa, I have not had time to really embellish your project. But, in my review, you know, you state that the project barely exceeds the 50 trip minimum threshold for the TIAR and you have noted that Alii Drive is already, has problems. There’s a certain thing as a holding capacity and sometimes if you go over that threshold -. So I think we need to be cognizant of that. And it says a development that will generate 50 or more trips at the a.m. or p.m. peak hour, so I don’t know, that’s a.m. or p.m. peak hour -. ATTA: I think the p.m. peak is the key but to clarify that I’d like to bring Randy Okaneku our traffic engineer to give a more detailed and broader explanation on that analysis. Randy? WATANABE: Okay, Mr. Kaneko (sic), would you raise your right hand, please. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? OKANEKU: I do. WATANABE: And would you formally state name and address, please, for the record. OKANEKU: My name is Randall Okaneku. I’m with the Traffic Management Consultant. I prepared the traffic study for La‘ipala Makai. My address is 1188 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813. WATANABE: You may proceed. OKANEKU: I want to clarify the questions on Alii Drive. The problem on Alii Drive is not the facility itself. It’s the intersection of Alii Drive and Queen Kalama Avenue. That’s where the problem occurs, the current problem occurs right now. The sight distance is EXHIBIT B 16
