ALAMEDA:I need to swear you both in at this time. Will you both raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii Planning Commission? LEONARD:I do. SAVIO:I do. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Did you get a chance to review the Background Report? SAVIO:We did. ALAMEDA:And the conditions? LEONARD:WevereviewedtheBackgroundReport,andtheRecommendationsfrom the Planning Department, and the conditions; and we find the conditions acceptable with a few suggested changes to those conditions. Weve submitted a copy of that. I have additional copies of those recommended changes. ALAMEDA:Okay. LEONARD:Specifically to, speaking to Condition M related to the improvements to the Main Cane Haul Road, we wanted to point out that there is an agreement being executed between C. Brewer Company and Kamehameha Schools. Its referred to as the Reciprocal Grants of Easement Agreements, or what we refer to as Reciprocal Easement Agreement; and that spells out the process and the agreement between the two parties in terms of responsibilities for maintaining that road and how it is to be shared between the parties using that road. And so we just wanted to make reference to that both in terms of maintaining the road but also in reference to any of the related infrastructure, such as the bridges at Hionamoa or Moaula Gulch. So were just including that reference in that, and well provide a copy. We need to get clearance from C. Brewer and Kamehameha Schools before issuing it, but it hasnt been executed as yet, hadnt gotten the Boards approval as yet, and so we were waiting for that to forward that on to the Planning Department. But we should be able to get you a draft of that. On, Condition N has to do with access to the Roman Catholic Church property; and were agreeable to that. But there is also a road that connects to the old Mamalahoa Highway or the, whats called a government road that goes to the bottom of the property, makai side of the property; and it does need some grading in there to reestablish that road connection. But if thats established wed like that to be also, that would provide an alternate connection through the property site to the Catholic Churchs property. I would add to that, if its agreeable, that we could put in additional language related to that road, that road would, an alternate access, meeting the approval of the Planning Director and the Chief Engineer, or the Director of the Department of Public Works, is provided to a county road. As a caveat, adding that on to there, that added language. In Condition S, were just enumerating all the various components that are part of the cost of the project. This is a cost plus project, and we wanted just to be very clear about what those items are. It includes also the escrow and normal closing costs and commissions, the cost to develop 6
