know, to the project then you feel like itÓll be not, itÓll be like a win-win situation, both
<br />for the archeological feature over there as well as for the project itself, Òcause it provides
<br />a different type of cultural amenity to the site.
<br />Aside from that, if there are any questions, IÓd be more than ha
<br />GALDONES:Commissioners, any question of Mr. Fuke? No questions? If
<br />thereÓs no questions, Mr. Fuke, I guess the same concern that was raised this morning
<br />regarding the addition of developments as it relates to taxing the infrastructure, I guess,
<br />thereÓs some concerns being raised in this development.
<br />FUKE:That is correct. To some extent, you know, I think there has to be
<br />some distinction between the infrastructure burden and infrastructure responsibility of
<br />respected developers versus the infrastructure that might be a little bit more global in
<br />concern. For example, you might look at, along, in Kona, for example, in the South Kona
<br />area or like in Central Kona, at this point in time, thereÓs only one way north and south;
<br />and the Kainaliu town, for example, might be excessively congested during certain
<br />periods of time. But does that necessarily mean that if you have a project in South Kona
<br />or, for example, north of Kainaliu town, then, should the burden of responsibility rest
<br />with that particular developer or should it be addressed more globally by the powers that
<br />be?
<br />And, again, in this particular situation, you know, the Applicant obviously canÓt address
<br />the overall Kuakini Highway improvement issue. However, as it relates to this particular
<br />project and what will make it flow more efficiently, the developer would be in a position
<br />to do that. As such, what your staff has recommended is that in the event the County
<br />does not make, does not go through with the improvement plans for the Kuakini Highway
<br />and Sarona Road, then the developer is obligated to front, so-called, the required
<br />improvements on Sarona Road so that it becomes like a right-turn in/right-turn out,
<br />exactly as how the County had envisioned in its Kuakini Highway Improvement Plan.
<br />GALDONES:Thank you. Commissioners, if thereÓs no further question, staff
<br />recommends approval.
<br />KUBOTA:I do have a question of staff that I just found. Norman,
<br />transmittal from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, t
<br />regarding the crypt? You know, in our, on page, this is Exhibit E, they speak of two
<br />conditions that should be included. One, which has to do with the development proceeds
<br />in accordance with the approval of a burial treatment plan; and No. 2, that the data
<br />recovery mitigation is undertaken in accordance with an approved data recovery plan. I
<br />looked at our conditions and my question is, is No. 8 and 9 in our conditions as proposed
<br />enough to satisfy that recommendation?
<br />FUKE:Mr. Chairman, if you, if I can kind of partially respond to that
<br />question. See Condition No. 8, maybe I should back up a little bit. There was an
<br />archeological inventory survey done on the subject property. And when that survey was
