downsizing, and quite honestly I think all of us were in agreement that RS-15 was not what we wanted to see there. And the question was how far do you downsize before you, shall we say, take too much of vested rights. And I believe Î you might want to share with some of the newer members what youÓve already vested Î as I recall, you have a water commitment with, is that Kohala Ranch, already tied in Î I think the number was $600,000 or something to that effect Î and that you had already done some engineering at least, which was one of the requirements of the previous, one of the conditions of the previous permit that required you to engineer utilities that go under the roadway. Is that correct? LIM: ThatÓs correct, yes. We have existing water agreements for the project that was sufficient to service the 50 lots; so we do have the wa all that discussion was primarily related to the expenditures that we had made for the project, and it was significant. So I feel that the proposal that we are looking at -. And we still have to go back to the owner to make sure that theyÓre agreeable to what we are doing. They gave us preliminary approval to come here and present this plan to you; so we wanted to get your comments. One of the things that we have to get, if we were to propose the plan that you see before you, is we have to get the State Department of Transportation to approve the relocation of that access way. So a lot of it is still up in the air. So thatÓs why IÓm characterizing it as a status report rather than a presentation of a plan, you know, for formal comment. WATANABE: Yeah, do you foresee any issues with the, what you call, the additional access to the highway? MOOERS: ItÓs not an additional access; we have two, currently we points. But the current vehicular access point -. WATANABE: Oh, just so you have connectivity within. MOOERS: Yeah, we would have to relocate it from north of that gulch to south of the gulch. WATANABE: Okay. MOOERS: But we do have two access points at this time. WATANABE: Okay, very good. Discussion? Ms. Bowman? BOWMAN: Well, I just want to thank you for updating us because I think itÓs important and then we donÓt have to deliberate when you come. And of course, personally, living in Kohala I would like to not see any development makai of the road; but as a Commissioner and, you know, adhering to our County plans, that I realize that youÓve taken a lot of steps into downsizing. So I appreciate this and weÓll see what happens. WATANABE: Mr. Housel. HOUSEL: I had a question for Mr. Darrow. IÓm sorry I didnÓt hear everything that you were talking about regarding the zoning on the adjacent land. EXHIBIT B 7
