YUEN:We would actually prefer to have less access directly to Mamalahoa Highway and avoid creating a new intersection. The Department of Public Works actually suggested completely the opposite of what the testifier is suggesting which is that all traffic come from the side streets. That the direct access to Mamalahoa be closed and in general what theyre saying is the Bible on how youre going to handle something like this. You want to have limited points of access. The traffic carried in by side streets on existing intersections. We didnt adopt their recommendation fully in that theres an existing access to the property which serves one house on-, that runs out to the highway. So thats why we said, and if you look at the subdivision layout it does create issues for the building and design of the subdivision not to allow that direct access. Were trying to control, keep that to the 2 lots that abut the highway. And the rest of them we would for the reasons I stated, we would prefer that, and the Department of Public Works would prefer that the traffic come into the existing subdivision by the side roads and come out at the existing intersections. SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Yuen. Commissioners any other questions of the testifier Mr. Matsumoto? Mr. Matsumoto? MATSUMOTO:I have, I have one more thing. Since the front 2 lots are going to have-, be accessible to the main highway and since this is a family land thing with their family and all maybe they can build a-. In case of emergencies maybe they can make a road go to up to the top of their, that property? Just for family but in case we need emergency vehicles going up there maybe they-. Instead of always going up our 2 streets and say they need something you know that concerns their family or you know the upper portion of their thing maybe they can make a road that connects to everything, their family lots for emergency purposes only? Thank you. SPRINGER:Youre welcome Mr. Matsumoto. Director Yuen do you have any comment on that a internal road for emergency vehicles? YUEN:No. SPRINGER:Thank you.
