GALDONES:Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Okay I€m just trying to make sure that I understand this properly. So <br />basically they already have the right to 48-units and limited retail on the bottom floor but with no <br />impact fees. And this would increase the density somewhat, essentially the building is almost <br />the same height but we€re going to attain some impact fees with regard to the potential roadway <br />and I believe you also had some monetary impact fees stated in here. Is that correct? <br />YUEN:There will be impact fees for the additional units. The roadway is much <br />more significant though in turn because the impact fees would not amount to a great deal of <br />money for the additional units allowed. There€s a matter of standard practice that we- when <br />people are coming in for amendments of zoning that may increase what they have. We are only <br />charging a impact fee or a fair share assessment for the increase in the number of units not for <br />the whole development. But that€s, what you€re saying is correct. The road is, from our point of <br />viewtheroadreserveissignificantasfarasapublicbenefit. <br />WATANABE:AsIrecallthat€ssupposedtohelpwiththeconnectorandcontinueonto <br />Nani Kailua is that correct? <br />YUEN:Yes, and this goes back to the Kailua Village Master Plan. They proposed <br />a road they called a Village By-pass in that and that would come from- and it was just conceptual <br />in that plan. But it would come from about here up to Kuakini first stage and then Kuakini to the <br />end of Nani Kailua Drive would be another stage. To be really candid about this we€re not, until <br />we do the archaeology on this, on the remainder of this property we don€t know whether that can <br />be implemented in the Alii Drive to Kuakini part. And the Kuakini to Nani Kailua part will be <br />very tough because there are a lot of archaeological sites in the only possible right-of-way for <br />that. There€s only a limited area that skirts existing development. The lower part between Alii <br />and Kuakini would be a very good road to implement in the Kailua road system. Because right <br />now from Walua Road which is the road that comes down by Huggos, comes diagonally down <br />there to Hualalai there isn€t any way out. And traffic gets really backed up on Alii Drive to <br />Hualalai. And then that 3-way intersection moves, people, things move very slowly through that <br />intersection. So that is something that the County, we really would like to implement that lower <br />part of this road. <br />GALDONES:Seeing no further questions from the Commissioners of Norman. <br />Norman? <br />HAYASHI:Mr. Chair just for, in response to Commissioner Salavea€s question as to <br />the height of the 48-unit building that was approved on SMA 276. I checked the file and the <br />height proposed height that, for that building was 45 feet. And I also wanted to place on the <br />record the correspondences that were received and circulated to all of you. All of these were <br />from landowners, well residence of the Kona Billfisher or I guess condominium owners of the <br />Kona Billfisher. <br />GALDONES:Thank you Norman. No further questions then I would like to ask the <br />applicant or its representative to please come forward. <br />EXHIBIT E <br />9 <br /> <br />
