In addition, the curbs, gutters and sidewalks to be constructed should not result in changing the present configuration of Hualalai Road, whose curvature and narrow width serve to calm excessive speed. Finally, the projects proximity to several major arterial roads also argues strongly for encouraging access to and use of mass transit by the residents. Accordingly, the Mass Transit Agency should be asked to consider expanding bus service to this section of Hualalai Road, and whether the Applicant should be required to contribute a fair share toward that expansion. Thanks for the opportunity to comment, and Ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Gimpel. Commissioners, any questions of the testifier?CommissionerGraham? GRAHAM:Joel,thanksforyourtestimony. GIMPEL:Thankyou. GRAHAM:IthinkifIheardcorrectly,yousaidlikebackin2001,youfolks commented on this original project and all. GIMPEL:No, you heard incorrectly. I said you granted approval back in November 2001 to this project. I dont know that we presented any comments at that time. I wasnt on the committee at that time. GRAHAM:Okay. I guess thats where I was kind of coming from, is that were really looking at something that went as far as Plan Approval already on the old configuration, and this is a change of configuration and a smaller vision. So Im presuming the Planning Commission approved the old configuration and the County Council went ahead and approved the zoning there. But as far as you know, your organization had no comments that youre aware of? GIMPEL:Thats correct. Im not aware of any comments on the project before. GRAHAM:Thanks. SPRINGER:Commissioners, any questions of the testifier? I have a question of the Director peaked by the testifiers comments. Im wondering about that mid-project entry. Mr. Yuen, can you tell us if there was any discussion of that or we can wait until the Applicants representative returns to the table? 13
