GIFFIN: Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to ask the representative to respond to a concern that was <br />raised by one of the testifiers earlier this morning. Mr. Joel Cooperson mentioned that apparently <br />there was no attempt at paying for infrastructure. And Mr. Lim, earlier in your testimony you <br />mentioned the construction of drywells to talk about prevention of flooding. Was that part of what <br />you would meet infrastructure cost, or is that separate? <br />LIM: I didnÓt understand his comment about us not paying for infrastructure, but we are going to be <br />required by the Department of Public Works to put in all the roads and drainage. Actually, you <br />know, technically and legally, you are supposed to handle the runoff from your project only; if there <br />is water coming from the mauka area through your project -. <br />GIFFIN: Which is the case, right? <br />LIM: You canÓt increase it. Yeah. And so, ordinarily we would not be required to pick up all of <br />water, but thatÓs what we are going to be doing. <br />GIFFIN: By the construction of the drywells. <br />LIM: ThatÓs correct. <br />GIFFIN: So thatÓs from water coming from above the subject property. <br />LIM: Yes, itÓs coming from the Kona Orchards project. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Mr. Lim, how many total lots? <br />LIM: We have 45 lots, which we will be developing through a Planned Unit Development, which <br />would allow us to create smaller lots in certain areas with the topography will allow it, so we donÓt <br />have to cut everything and bench it. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: And you are being required to pay $12,000 per lot in fair share contributions <br />to the County to mitigate parks, police, fire, solid waste and road improvements. <br />LIM: If approved, yes. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: So thatÓs roughly how much? <br />LIM: ItÓs a lot. I donÓt know -. I think the combined total was about, letÓs see -. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: I just grabbed my calculator. So your contribution is $542,679.75 in addition <br />to other infrastructure you are going to be required to do withi <br />LIM: ThatÓs correct. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: And the reason that I did not agree to the word ÐshallÑ and kept the word <br />ÐmayÑ is that there is no guarantee that you will be given credit against the fair share for any of the <br />work that you do; thatÓs going to be up to the County Council. <br />LIM: We understand. <br />13 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
