Thank you for your consideration of these suggestions; and IÓll be pleased to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. SPRINGER:Commissioners? I have a question. Perhaps the Director, regarding the vehicle counts and tonnage thatÓs added to the highway that the testifier made reference to, do you have any comments on that, Mr. Yuen? YUEN:ItÓs definitely a problem. The widening from Henry Street, Queen Kaahumanu from Henry Street to Kealakehe Parkway is currently funded and should happen. The widening to Keahole Airport is also a high priority and very likely to happen. Other than that, I donÓt have any more, you do have a traffic report in the application. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Yuen. Members, any questions or comments for the testifiers? Hearing none, thank you both for your participation this evening. Mr. Fuke, do you have any follow-up? FUKE:Sure. Specifically in relation to the public access question, couple things needs to be pointed out. One is that, you know, although the owner owns both properties, this is not the coastal property that has been under consideration by the Commission. This is adjacent to the highway. But notwithstanding that issue, you will note that if youÓre tracking the Planning DirectorÓs Change of Zone recommendation or mine, my proposed SMA conditions, you will notice that on the DirectorÓs Change of Zone Condition II, or the one that I had recommended which is identical to the DirectorÓs Condition II, Condition No. 30, they deal with the public access issue in terms of allowing for that access and making sure it does not impede the development of the properties to the south or to the north relative to access. On the overall roadway issue, couple points IÓd like to make. One is that, you know, the K-to-K Plan does specifically address this particular parcel. It basically states that in this particular area it would be ideal for like some sort of a commercial industrial area and, as a matter of fact, make the concession it would be more appropriate for like an office retail commercial complex, pretty much along the line of what the Applicant is proposing. But notwithstanding that, I think that the Planning Director has assumed a rather pro-active approach in terms of how you address this regional type of roadway system and that is found like I think in their, the DirectorÓs rezoning recommendation, Condition Y. Actually, you know, his goes from like Condition X, Y, Z. And what I had suggested in here, which are identical to his, would be Conditions 19, 20, 21 and 22. But in Condition Y or Condition 21, essentially what it says is that this developer, and probably like others in that area, will have to work together with the State Department of Transportation and come up with a prorata, you know, and discuss the overall transportation system in this area, and then come up with a prorata scheme. And then this developer would have to pay its own share before you can get Final Subdivision Approval or as it reads, what does it read, basically, before you can actually create an impact to the 12
