Palani and beyond, you know, like, where you have the stop light. So it could then, you know, by that condition, it could conceivably hold up the whole project if in event the County just doesnÓt do this project at all. So what weÓre kind of suggesting, you know, as a means to mitigate the issue was that the developer would provide the improvements necessary in and along Sarona Road exactly like how the plan show and if needed, too, you know, just stretch out into the Kuakini Highway intersection portion to allow for the reasonable transition to do the right-turn in and right-turn out. But to make the full intersection improvements, which would also require making impro mauka side of Kuakini Street, Kuakini Highway, which then, also, it relates to, you know, would be functional only if the balance of the Kuakini Highway improvements are made, would be kind of unrealistic. YUEN:County, should we just say the improvements on the, interse improvements on the makai side of Kuakini? EMLER:On the Kuakini Highway improvement plans, it does show proposed improvements to Sarona Road. I think if you just left it at the, with the Sarona Road improvements on the Kuakini improvement plans, it describes intended to build. If thatÓs what youÓre trying to indicate on the condition, is that if the County has not built that, then the hotel canÓt open until they complete Sarona Road improvements from Kuakini Highway to the western most portion of improvements from Kuakini Highway to the western most portion of Applicant would have to complete those prior to the opening of the hotel. I think thatÓs what weÓre trying to say in it; and it has to accommodate two lanes of traffic all the way from Kuakini Highway to the western most portion of the hotel property. YUEN:Well, specifically, what we would want them to do. The County did not do, had not done the Kuakini. We would want them to make a right-turn lane into the project, widen Sarona, and a right-turn out of Sarona onto Kuakini, right? EMLER:Right-turn lane used very loosely, I would say. WeÓre trying to prevent left-turn traffic out of Sarona once the hotel opens. By the time the hotel opens, we wouldnÓt want. I believe thatÓs what the intention is here because the traffic study is saying this is whatÓs going to be the restriction once the hotel opens, is there would be no left-turn traffic out of the Sarona Road. ThatÓs another question as to whether weÓre going to make that a condition of the opening of the hotel, whether or not the County does itÓs Kuakini Highway improvements or not. WeÓre going to prevent left turns out of Sarona Road if the County has not completed Kuakini improvements, as result of this project. YUEN:Yes. That is the plan. I mean, if the County does Kuakini before they open the hotel, which is I think your hope and the CountyÓs hope -. EMLER:ThatÓs the idea, yeah. 8
