RHO: Sure. <br />ATTA: Yes. Director Yuen is correct in that the completion of the <br />Parkway is not a precondition. And actually Mr. Emler from Public Works had raised the <br />question to our traffic engineer what if the Parkway is not completed in any kind of timely <br />fashion; so our traffic engineer actually redid the traffic calculations to see what would be the <br />effect, if the Parkway were not in construction by the time this was completed. And the <br />results of that are actually part of the application, when you read it; so the conclusion was <br />that the impacts would remain at the current Level of Service D. And Mr. Emler has also <br />mentioned that part of that is that we would have that alternate access either to Alii Drive <br />through the Metzler property or do some improvements to Naniloa and Queen Kalama as a <br />condition. So in either way, that would be a question of impact on Alii Drive and on Queen <br />Kalama. The Public Works was okay with either option; we either do the alternative access <br />or do the improvements to Queen Kalama. And we are okay with those conditions to <br />mitigate the potential impacts without the Parkway being developed. <br />DOMINGO: So in essence what you are saying is that the Public Works <br />Department is comfortable with the existing conditions and with the additional traffic that <br />would be created by the development. <br />ATTA: I would have -, that’s my understanding, but I’d rather have <br />Mr. Emler make that statement than myself. <br />DOMINGO: Okay. <br />RHO: Would you like Mr. Emler to come up? <br />DOMINGO: Yes. <br />RHO: Mr. Emler, can you come back up? <br />DOMINGO: I’d just like to see what his response is going to be because it <br />reflects the total department’s outlook on the existing conditions that exist and with <br />additional built-out of the projects we’ve adopted so far. And if we do adopt this one, then it <br />certainly would cause further traffic on Alii Drive. So I’d just like to know what the <br />Department’s opinion is on that. <br />RHO: Mr. Emler. <br />EMLER: Well, certainly any traffic study is limited in accuracy to the <br />inputs that are provided to the computer programs and so forth that are used to reach the <br />conclusion. Now, I have to tell you that nobody reviewed this traffic study in enough detail <br />to determine whether we agree with all of the inputs that were used into that traffic study. So <br />if you are asking me, am I absolutely sure that their traffic study is accurate, I can’t say that. <br />DOMINGO: Thank you. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />11 <br /> <br />
