In terms of like a visual impact, the project calls for no more than all of the structures to be less than 40 feet, which is considerably less than what the existing zoning allows. That existing zoning allows for structures to be 50 feet, or even higher, subject to the Planning DirectorÓs approval. There would be generous landscaping throughout the site and particularly along the highway. All of the improvements would be outside of the 60 LDN level, and only a small portion falls within the 55. Actually, the whole site is outside of the 60 LDN from a noise standpoint, and just a small portion on the makai, northern, north-western end falls within the 55 LDN. They will construct an on-site wastewater system. And if the County processes an improvement district that stretches all the way to the Keahole Airport, then the Applicant would be a willing participant in this improvement district. But, during the interim, they will construct an on-site wastewater plant meeting with the appr Department of Health. In terms of water, thereÓs an existing commitment of 33 units. You know, understandably, itÓs not sufficient to accommodate the projectÓs entire needs. What the Applicant intends to do is that, thereÓs an alternative that they are looking at right now, possibly working with NELHA or proceeding exactly with what the Department of Water Supply wants, which is to extend a major line from Hinalani Street to the subject property. ThereÓs also like an on-site well on the site which can be used for, which will be used largely for landscaping purposes. In other cases, as with other developments that the Commission and the Department have thoroughly considered, the developer can proceed only so far as the water is available; and conditions along that line could be structured to make sure that that happens. In a nutshell, Mr. Chairman, thatÓs kind of like the project. We do have not only the Applicant here but some of the technical consultants. So if there are any specific questions that the Commissioners or the public may have, weÓd be more than willing to respond. FUJIKAWA:Thank you. Is there any question from the Commissioners to this Applicant? Go ahead, Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Thank you. Mr. Fuke, if you could, I guess, like refresh my memory, if an applicant receives approval for a high number of units and initially develops a lower number of units, in the future if they want to increase the number of units, whatÓs the process that they must adhere to? FUKE:I would imagine if it fell within the cap of the Project District that the developer would still be able to do that. I believe like you could, excuse me, I think that you probably would not necessarily need to have an amendment. But if 8
