OKANEKU: At that point, yeah. IWASHITA: And that assumes that Kahaluu-Keauhou Parkway is not built? OKANEKU: That’s correct. IWASHITA: The Laaloa Extension is not built? OKANEKU: That’s correct. IWASHITA: All of those, right? Okay. So to me that’s, you know, it’s not, this is why we ask for this, for the concurrency, right? And we really don’t want Alii Drive to be another Fort Weaver Road. We don’t want to get close to that, right? And so, okay, thank you. The other thing is that all the Commissioners know I’m a community development plan fanatic. So I’m going to ask you, does your, this is part of a draft, Volume I, Kona Community Development Plan that we just got in our little folder today; and it’s not adopted, it has transportation kind of elements to it. I’m assuming, and correct me if I’m wrong, that your study does not in any way address any of the provisions of the proposed Kona Community Development Plan? OKANEKU: No, I have not had an opportunity to look at that as well. IWASHITA: Okay. And, and, I, conjecture and ask if you’ll respond to my conjecture that looking at and adopting what actually is, may, you know, hopefully becomes law at some point in the Community Development Plan and its provisions for transportation in the Plan, that that may very well affect the outcome of your TIAR? OKANEKU: Um, I mean not having reviewed the Plan itself but, I mean, I would suspect that the Development Plan would include a lot of the facilities that had been in the pipeline for some time that is not, you know, bringing something brand new out that hasn’t been looked at. IWASHITA: All I’m saying is that the Plan, the intent of the Plan, right, includes elements for providing transportation, different types of transit requirements or projections and so depending on what ultimately ends up, you know, what it ultimately, those elements ultimately – either too much or not enough coffee – depending on how the final provisions of the transportation elements of the Plan end up and also depending on what the concentrations of development and the nature of the types of development that are envisioned for this area of this development that those factors, especially that last part cause in my mind two percent really, that’s your assumption. I’m not, you know, if you look at where we are today and where we’re projecting to be in the next 20 years I don’t think that where Maui was in 1985 and I don’t think from ’85 till today you can say two percent is what the actual growth has been on an annualized basis. We’re where Honolulu was in the mid seventies maybe; and to go from the population growth of Honolulu in the mid-seventies till today we’re pushing a million people, right, that’s not two percent. And to me those are the kind of considerations EXHIBIT B 24
