HAYASHI:Perhaps that could be asked of the Applicants as far as exactly where they are on these plans. WATANABE:Thank you. HAYASHI:One other thing, there’s also the matter of the sign being posted too far in the project site, and the Applicant has relocated the sign to the front of the property abutting Alii Drive. ALAMEDA:Other questions? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Norman, I just have a access question relating to the fact that access is proposed to Alii Highway, Alii Drive, as opposed to the Parkway. And couple of years ago I got a copy from you I think of the Keahole to Honaunau Regional Circulation Plan; and in that there’s a Alii Parkway Access Management Map, and right about this area there’s an access to Alii Highway proposed called Kingman property access. So I’m wondering whether that access has been sort of taken off the books and is no longer part of the plan, or why that access is not being used for this particular property. HAYASHI:This plan that, what was submitted to you, I vaguely recall providing that information to you. But I think that was a preliminary draft that was proposed as part of a study that was done for the Planning Department; and that was the, I believe the Keauhou to Honaunau Circulation Plan. GRAHAM:Yes. HAYASHI:As far as whether that plan is, well, that plan has never been adopted. That was just a working draft. And as far as I know it was never adopted neither by the Planning Commission nor the County Council as the circulation plan for the Kona area. It just basically gave general guidelines as to where the location of these access roads or a connecting road should be, or the roadway circulation plans for the Kona area should be. WATANABE:Mr. Chair? ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE:Yeah, may I -. To chime in on that, I believe from the last meeting’s discussion, there was a planned access to Alii Parkway from a subdivision that was very close, I think the road was Laaloa. And my question at that time was, you know, are we requiring any connector to Laaloa from this subdivision so that that will be an alternate route out? And there were also discussions that are documented within the proposal that they’re in discussions about a temporary connection to Alii Parkway. So, you know, I don’t know if that connector road to Laaloa is possible at this point, because I don’t think it’s contiguous with this parcel. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:The major intersection off of Alii Parkway in this area would be the Laaloa intersection, which is shown on this map as eventually being a signalized intersection. EXHIBIT B 3
