But let me just pause for a moment and look at what the sign, whether the Sign Code covers the situation and give an idea what the Sign Code would be. GALDONES:Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:May we take a 5-minute recess while the Director reviews the Code? GALDONES:While hes reviewing that, Im going to ask the Commissioners if they have any comments to Mr. Yehs amendment for the location of the signs. Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Since the Planning Director was happy with what he said originally, the only thing that caught my ear that maybe he didnt say originally that you includedwaslocation.So,ifthatsthecaseIwouldalsoliketo,hiscomment,toinclude location. And, also, with regard to Planning Directors last comments about ingress, I think he was correct that if we dont have that specifically written in Condition No. 4 of the Decision and Order -. So I think that Condition No. 4 should say that, provided that only right-in ingress will be allowed from the Hawaii Belt Road. YEH:Chairman Galdones, just one comment to that. The reason I had left it somewhat broad in that respect was because I presumed, perhaps correctly or not, that the Department of Transportation engineers would be able to exercise their engineering discretion to determine what kind of ingress would be allowed. In other words, if they felt that there was sufficient radius for turning from a left turn standpoint, we should leave perhaps that decision up to them since theyre going to have to be the ones that decide on what access is appropriate. But, and thats the reason why I didnt distinguish between left or right turn. Thank you. YUEN:I would not agree with that. I honestly, I mean, I think we really have to watch out for this County. And youre talking, this part of Volcano Highway is a straight shot, its a high-speed run. You dont expect people to turn left, particularly not, theres no, theres not going to be an intersection sign; and I think were creating a hazard. Its a low-key business where its, people, I dont know how theyre planning to market or advertise themselves, but I would guess that for the most part theyre trying to get people who have some, through some other medium other than the street sign to -. The street sign, I think, provide some ability to help, helps you find the place, but youre not like a drive-in business trolling for customers off the highway. And Id look at this really differently if we were talking about a business like that. Theyre going to have to do some kind of marketing to people that are interested in art and want to go see glass blowing and an art studio. So its, first of all, I dont think its too much to expect for the Applicant to try to, when they market themselves, to have something that informs the customers if they have to, if theyre coming from the Volcano theyll have to turn left at the Old Volcano Road intersection and come around the back, or they have to get down to some place where they can turn around and come back up the Volcano Highway and come in on a right turn. 17
