GRAHAM:Could I just ask a small follow-up to the Planning Director. I know that, and I’m thinking the community in general, I’m thinking of the private road issue, not issue but the private road you just spoke of.I think the community in general kind of prefers public roads as opposed to private gated subdivisions and all, and we have a couple of private gated entries on today’s agenda. And I was just wondering when you look at applications and when you talk with applicants and all, how does that whole issue of private versus dedicated roads weigh in your decision about what you want to happen and don’t want to happen and all? YUEN:Well, it’s, if it’s something that we want as a part of a private road system, then the Subdivision Code can make you create a dedicable street and turn it over to the County, but the Code allows you to have a private street. So in a situation where there is a, there’s a desire to have it as a connecting road, for example, if the applicant wants to keep it private, we permit that. WATANABE:Are there any other questions? Mr. Salavea? SALAVEA:Yes, for the Planning Director, follow-up to Commissioner Graham’s question. I noted that the Kona Traffic & Safety Committee had mentioned something about possibly making that a condition for the private road to accommodate future mauka-makai access, a tie-in between Ali`i, and I’m not sure if it’s Queen K above. Is that something that would be a possibility in this area, or needed, or -? I’d like to hear your comments? YUEN:Well, the only, the mauka, the next road to tie to would be the Ali`i Parkway or Keauhou, Kahului-Keauhou Parkway, if and when, you know, that’s built. But this property doesn’t abut that and it’s separated from it by other private properties in this 5-acre lot Kaumalumalu Subdivision. So it’s not really a feasible condition. The general desire right now, the engineering of the Ali`i Parkway calls for it to be a limited access with relatively few intersections, so the idea is to try to have other road connections that then lead into the major intersections. The intersections, the major intersections in this area, one would be at Laaloa Street, which is a little bit to the south, and the other would be at Lako Street, which is a little bit to the north. You’ll see that, we have a map showing where Lako Street would go. But that would be the idea here rather than a, rather than bringing a number of connections up to the Parkway. There will be only these few and then you would want to have some internal connections. SALAVEA:Okay. Thank you, Mr. Director. I will, another question for our Applicant. I read through the Cultural Archaeological Report and it was a little technical for my abilities. And I was just wondering if you or your representative could summarize what the process would be for not only the Judd Trail but for the other sites on the property, what would the process be to recover. And then that was another question I had, difference between recover, and I think it said data recovery and -. LAU:Preservation. EXHIBIT A 9
