One thing to add, we have had several letters submitted; these have been passed out to the Commissioners. Also including, we have a June 19, 2008, letter from the applicant’s representative, which does some changes to the Change of Zone as well as the SMA nd conditions that kind of brings into those changes that we had spoken about at out May 22 hearing. Thank you. RHO: Jeff, those changes basically are only on the recommendations, right? I mean the conditions -? DARROW: Correct. On the conditions -. RHO: For both the Change of Zone and the SMA, yes? And then there is, the last couple of pages, which references the Kona Development Plan. Right? Okay. Any questions for staff? Yes, Commissioner Woodward. WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman. Jeff, what are they doing as far as the affordable housing requirements? DARROW: In the application the applicant is proposing to conduct the affordable housing requirements on the property just mauka of this particular application. They are allowed to do it offsite; it doesn’t necessarily have to be on site. So they are proposing to do these requirements in the future project that’s just mauka identified in this particular area here. And if we could have the applicant go into greater detail as to how they are going to achieve that requirement; but that’s my understanding through the application. RHO: Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO: Would it be appropriate to ask -, maybe have the Public Works Department come up; but I’d like to know the status of the Parkway now and in the future. RHO: Okay, I see Mr. Emler in the audience. If you can come up. EMLER: Thank you, Commissioner Domingo. The question is what is the latest status on the Kahaluu to Keauhou Parkway project. To my understanding, the latest is there’s going to have to be some more data recovery done on the project, which is being planned or in the process. I checked the State transportation improvement list and it’s on the schedule for 2011, as far as the funding is concerned right now. But these lists are continually revised; so it could be moved up if the project were made ready. So it’s possibility. I don’t want to say that’s, you know, cast in stone. DOMINGO: Thank you. RHO: Thank you. Any other questions? If I can now have the applicants or the applicant’s representatives come up. Can I swear both of you in again. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? EXHIBIT A 3
