EMLER: As far as your, oh, IÓm sorry -. WATANABE: I donÓt want to get too technical in this here, so -. Mr. Housel. HOUSEL: I guess that was my question. Are the roadways proposed in this subdivision consistent with the roadways in Pualani Estates? EMLER: I would say no. The answer to that is no because, well, the roads in Pualani Estates have fairly straight alignment, larger curves, itÓs 50 feet wide, fully developed right-of-way with curb, gutter and sidewalk; this one obviously is showing landscaping in the right-of-way, which unless it was approved specifically by that ordinance, would have to be approved by the Planning Director through the PUD process Î itÓs a variance process. So that would be something that would be under the jurisdiction of the Planning Director to make that discretionary decision whether that would be acceptable, if the condition is that the roadways be dedicable. WATANABE: Okay, I have a follow-up question to that, though, because originally you said connector roads generally are 60 feet and it seemed like you indicated Pualani is 50 feet. EMLER: Collector roads are 60 feet. Collector roads, itÓs a class of roadway defined in the Subdivision Code and other national standard design guidelines. Collector road is something that not only serves as a connecting road between properties but also serves adjacent properties Î thatÓs basically the definition of a collector road. In this case the adjacent roadways are 50-foot wide right-of-way; it does not meet the minimum standard of a collector roadway in the Subdivision Code, although it does connect through. One also might use the term Ðminor roadÑ but -. IÓm not sure IÓm answering your question fully. WATANABE: And so the proposed roads in here are, what, 50 or 60 feet roadways? EMLER: After, well, I think that is something that the developerÓs representative should answer. IÓve only scaled them, and so I think I know based on the scale; but I think specifically they should answer the question. WATANABE: Okay. Mr. Lim, you did indicate that youÓre still in negotiations with Public Works; so maybe you can enlighten us. LIM: Right, thatÓs correct. You know, as you realize this is at the State Land Use and the County Zoning stage where you donÓt design roadways -. WATANABE: Right, right, I understand. LIM: But the proposal is to use the Planned Unit Development tool to address, I mean, how do I word this, the roads that are not the north-south connector road. And the reason why youÓre seeing -. This is a revised concept plan; weÓve met with Mr. Emler numerous times and one of the things he did raise or he wanted us to move the connection to Huallai Road from where we had it originally here to the area thatÓs further mauka, which provides the best sight EXHIBIT A 12
