GRAHAM:And would it be inappropriate, or would it be a problematic, or does the Planning Director believe its appropriate that we indicate that, you know, the condition of the Change of Zone be such that there will not be gated entry on the mauka side, or am I kind of being too sticky about something as -? SAUNDERS:I wouldnt have a problem. Im just thinking in the real world itll be a problem to have that be gated. You got people coming on and off the highway, and waiting for the gate to open and shut, and all the grief. I just dont see it as something that we want to do. So if you folks feel you need to throw something like that in, unless my consultant tells me Im going to shoot myself in the foot, I would agree. GRAHAM:All right. Well, Im not trying to be a sticker on it. Thank you. SPRINGER:Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Well, because I come from Puna, which is a cul-de-sac district and hasmanysubdivisionswithinitwhicharealsocul-de-sacs,soIlookatthisandthats what I see. And you know Puna, Bob, so -.

FUKE:Usually what happens is that when you submit your plans for building permit, the Fire Department must review and sign off on it. So if you dont have the required radiuses, then they wont sign off on the building permit. SIRACUSA:Okay, so thats one question. Another question I had was, as far as the comments from the various agencies, the Department of Education -. Excuse me, while I just review this momentarily. I dont understand since DOE is a State agency, does the County have jurisdiction to require or not to require impact fees? It seems like thats apples and oranges. Could you explain that, please, or address it. SPRINGER:Mr. Yuen? YUEN:The DOE, as a standard request on rezonings, asks us to put a school impact fee condition when the rezoning involves more than 50 units. We, the Department had been putting it on and the Council has been taking it off. The Council 9
