The application that we previously heard is indicated in this red dot here, which is the Keaau Service Station rezoning and State Land Boundary Amendment. Huina Road is located in this general direction; and the South Road is located on the other opposite side, or Hilo side, or Keaau side of the subject property. The Applicant is requesting that certain conditions be amended. First of all, Condition B, which basically states that certain lots shall not have direct access frontage from the Highway 11. Since the configuration of these lots may change, the Applicant is requesting that those referenced lot numbers be deleted and just basically stating that no direct access will be provided along Highway 11. Also, as part of Condition B, the Applicant is requesting that Final Subdivision Approval be, the time to receive Final Subdivision Approval be extended for another five years from the date that the amendment is approved. Condition C, the Applicant is requesting that certain -. First of all, the proposed ordinance states that access shall be from South Road. South Road is a gravel road which has a right-of-way width of 20 feet. No access is allowed under the current ordinance from Huina Road. The Applicant, in both Conditions C and D, is requesting that they be allowed to use Huina Road as the access to the subdivision instead of the South Road roadway. And the basic reason for that is that improvements will be made at this intersection of Huina Road and Highway 11 by the State Department of Transportation. The Applicant is proposing these, that they be allowed to use Huina Road and, also, as part of the highway improvement that they would contribute their pro rata share for the improvement of a traffic signal at the Huina Road-Highway 11 intersection. And, basically, the pro rata share would be 50 percent if Keaau Service Station is also required to provide their fair share or pro rata share. We are supporting the ApplicantÓs request with certain modifications, as you will note in the proposed conditions that were presented to you by the staff or by the Planning Director. One of the conditions, and that is Condition C, basically talks about the construction or installation of the traffic signalization at the Huina Road-Highway 11 intersection, that the Applicant would construct or pay for its pro rata share - pro rata share, again, would be basically defined as 50 percent, up to 50 percent of the cost of the development of the signalization - and, also, to say that the Applicant has the option of working with surrounding property owners who intend to develop properties in that area to help with the cost for the development of that traffic signal. Condition D basically states that access would be allowed from Huina Road and that Huina Road would have to be constructed to County dedicable standards from the subdivision access point, wherever that is, to State Highway 11. In other words, if the access point for this subdivision would be in this general location, then the Applicant would be required to construct improvements to Huina Road up until the State Highway to dedicable standards meeting with the approval of Department of Public Works. 2
