Road be responsible for the paying of the balance. In the event that this program does not work out for one reason or another, then the applicantÓs only alternative would be to utilize the existing access that he has which is on the Volcano end of the property and making whatever improvements are necessary as called for by the State DOT. If this request is subsequently approved ultimately by the County Council, then the applicant would still have to work with DLNR to allow for that easement to go through the service station lot. FUJIKAWA:Sure. Okay, any questions from the Commissioners? None. Okay, is there anyone from the public who wishes to testify on this application? You may come up. You have been sworn in, and just give your name again. CRITTENDEN:Charles Crittenden, sir. FUJIKAWA:You may proceed. CRITTENDEN:I have the adjacent property, IÓm right next to J. Hara Store. And, you know, they had said that they were putting in a traffic light before and that didnÓt materialized -. And theyÓre going to be developing the highway there and making it wider, you know, theyÓre saying that by the end of August theyÓre going to start doing that. And, you know, my concern is we have like at least one accident a week at this particular intersection right coming out of J. Hara Store and coming out of this parking lot, cause thereÓs no lights there and thereÓs nothing there. People just pull out. People are coming down the highway 60-70 miles an hour and they just slam right into them. That happens on a weekly basis. I just wanted to see if thereÓs any, you know, if this is approved, you know, that thereÓll be anything in writing showing that this traffic light or whatever will materialize, or if itÓs just going to be the same as it has been the last three years that they talk about it but they never really do it. FUJIKAWA:You have heard the applicantÓs statement -. CRITTENDEN:Yes, sir. FUJIKAWA:And the Planning Director, do you have anything to say on this particular application, any comments on this testifier? YUEN:We are putting conditions in this and the next application to try to get these two private parties to share in the cost of making a signal that the State does not have money for at this time. So this is, I think, the FUJIKAWA:You can contact your Senator. CRITTENDEN:Okay. And, you know, IÓm for approval of both of the projects. IÓm just concerned about, you know, the safety of the people coming in that area and coming out of property because they, you know, definitely need that signal there. It has been needed for a long time now. So thatÓs my only question. 3
