instead is to be a concretized composite such as “Hardi-plank” which is impervious to rot <br />and termite infestation. <br />Eric Leuteneker added information about the developer’s corporate development <br />philosophy, stating it to be oriented to support the traditional architectural and living <br />values enjoyed in Hawaii. <br />Public Testimony <br />There was none. <br />Commission Discussion <br />Commissioners discussed and clarified the designated colors for the siding and trim of <br />the buildings, expressing a desire for more true “white” to be used.Mr. Riehm stated that <br />all trim will be white to match the shade of the white window framing. <br />Commissioners questioned the long term appearance and durability of the <br />“Grass-crete ™” type of paving proposed for surfacing the inner halves of the tandem <br />parking stalls. They further discussed the desirability and permissibility of tandem <br />parking stalls, when provided in excess of the minimum parking requirement. Staff was <br />asked if individual parking stalls designed to a depth which is double the minimum <br />requirement would be permissible. Staff explained that the Planning Director would have <br />to make that determination during staffs’ review of a Plan Approval application for the <br />site, because of the Zoning Code requirement that all parking stalls be individually <br />accessible. <br />In response to Cmmr. Marone’s concern that the driveway width and turn radii into the <br />branching driveway and parking sections appeared overly constrained in the entry zone of <br />the development, Mr. Riehm explained that all driveway widths and curves were wide <br />enough to accommodate fire trucks, per design requirements of the Fire Department and <br />thus would be more than ample for other vehicles. He also explained that the roadway <br />system was purposely designed to be somewhat narrow and angular as a “traffic calming” <br />device to keep traffic speeds low within the development. <br />In response to Cmmr. Au Hoy’s question regarding sufficiency of open, grassed <br />recreational space for children to play in, Mr. Riehm said there were numerous small <br />grassed areas provide within the development and noted the percentage of landscaping <br />provided was close to double the twenty percent of land area required by the zoning code <br />for the portion within the RM zoning district. Addressing a separate question, Mr. Riehm <br />affirmed that interpretative signage would be provided for the archaeological features. <br />5 <br /> <br />
