askingthat this refers specifically to this reciprocal easement agreement that has been, I
<br />understand, agreed in principle but not signed between C. Brewer and Kamehameha Schools.
<br />That, that being the case and being that I havent seen that agreement, I cant recommend that we
<br />change this language to what theyre requesting until weve reviewed, until we have reviewed
<br />that agreement, that there be that -. Its possible that we were to agree to it certainly if we saw it.
<br />But I dont have it, and so I cant recommend that we change the wording that is in, proposed by
<br />us right now to what they are suggesting being the alternate wording.
<br />Turning to Condition N, the project district includes an area, I think its 185 acres thats currently
<br />owned by the Roman Catholic Church and it sits, its mauka of the Main Cane Haul Road, and it
<br />sits right in the middle of the area there. The Roman Catholic Church property at the present
<br />time does not have an easement over the Main Cane Haul Road crossing the Bishop Estate
<br />property. So we cant go ahead with having more lots created in there or allow that to be
<br />subdivided until there is an accessway out of the main, out of the, until there is a good access in
<br />andoutofthat,ofthatproperty.SothatswhytherewasConditionNinherethatsaidthe
<br />property couldnt be subdivided until there was an easement to the Main Cane Haul Road.
<br />Theres, there is a possible way, another way to get out of the property. If you look to the lower
<br />part, the tail end there of the property, the very bottom part there, yes, if you, there is a County
<br />road that extends to the bottom of that property there. The cane roads though within the parcel
<br />dont actually reach that County Road. I cant agree that, I, we can agree that Condition N with
<br />the, as theyve written it, with the provision that any other connection has to meet with the
<br />approval of the Planning Director in consultation with the Department of Public Works. And the
<br />reason is that as it stands now Im not sure that that is a workable connection, that, that you can
<br />feasibly build a road that would provide decent access into the area using, using that connection.
<br />I havent, I havent examined it myself.
<br />The Condition S has to do with the sales price of the lots; and this is an important feature of the
<br />proposal. And one of the reasons for the favorable recommendation is there is this land to the
<br />people aspect of this proposal that the, that the land is being, would be sold essentially at the
<br />developers cost plus the cost of improvements that have to be made, plus a 2 percent profit. I
<br />agree with their rewording of Condition S because it, it just more specifies what the costs, what
<br />costs are included. And some of these, these are fair costs to include. Escrow and closing costs
<br />and commissions are fair costs. Cost to develop and maintain the property, not including
<br />developers overhead, thats a fair cost in that aside from just the construction cost of the
<br />infrastructure, there will be on-going maintenance cost on the property in the interim between
<br />approval and sale to people. And taxes is a legitimate cost to add in. Had they not put this in, I
<br />would have considered it as part of the cost covered under Item No. 3. But if they want, I can
<br />understand why they would want more, more specific breakdown of the allowable costs.
<br />The change of Condition X is, thats okay. I think this came from, the Road B should be, the
<br />way he said B it should be F. And B, what happens is that Road B turns into Road F, and
<br />this relates to the site plan. But the crossing of Moaula Gulch which is a big, big gulch and has
<br />to be safely crossed, that takes place on Road F, but after, after Road B changes to Road F on
<br />their map. And I know the public doesnt know what, doesnt know these roads by these names.
<br />These are labels given to these roads on the site plan. On the site plan that they have, what
<br />weve been talking about is the Main Cane Haul road is Road A. Road B is a big paved road that
<br />leads mauka from the Main Cane Haul Road and goes up to Moaula Gulch, and theres a ford
