WATANABE: Will the Planning Commission meeting please come back i have concluded the applicantÓs presentation, and there were a number of questions they addressed during the presentation with regard to the conditions set forth. And so IÓd like to call on two representatives from Public Works whose input helped construct those conditions. That would be Mr. Ron Thiel and Kiran Emler. Would both of you come up, please, so that we can address some of these issues that were brought up by the applicat or the applicantÓs representative? Maybe we can address these in the order of the conditions. So I believe the first one was Condition No. 12, and as Mr. Melrose pointed out, the second No. 12. This is in regard to, ÐA Hele-On bus stop shelter shall be provided by the applicant È.Ñ I believe his major concern there was not agreeing to a blank check, not that he is opposed to any contribution. So IÓm wondering if there is any way either of you could address that and make some suggestions. THIEL: IÓm Ron Thiel, the chief of the Traffic Division, and have been working with -. WATANABE: Would you speak into the mike, please, Mr. Thiel? THIEL: IÓm Ron Thiel, chief of the Traffic Division, and am very familiar with this application. WeÓve gone to quite a few meetings and discussions on it. As far as this bus shelter goes, this is something that they are working out with Tom Brown. And I think what they are really trying to say is that they are in agreement with supplying or financing this shelter but any other requirements that might come up, ADA requirements, crosswalk requirements, location, things like that, they are asking to be separated from. One of the issues that IÓm involved in on this location is once we locate a bus stop in that area, weÓre going to have to look at another crosswalk, or potential crosswalk across Kawaihae Road, and so that makes it a little more difficult, more things to deal with, and I think thatÓs whaare getting to; they know that and are saying, you know, this could get a little more involved. So I think they are just trying to get their commitment relating the shelter structure it WATANABE: Then in your opinion, is it reasonable to limit it to the construction of the bus stop shelter and not, say, leave it so open-ended that it may extend to the crosswalk and ADA improvements, etc.? THIEL: Well, yes, because I think thatÓs what Tom Brown is going to have to be dealing with. WATANABE: Yeah, and so you would tend to agree that, to an extent that the County would have to be responsible for at least a portion of the public benefit and not just lay the entire bill on Parker School? THIEL: Yes, because we have to look at the entire facility, not just a bus stop for the school; we are having to look at crossing the road, a crosswalk thing, issues like that, which is more involved than what theyÓre, I think, should be responsible for. WATANABE: Okay. Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions regarding that particular condition? Then -. Yes. EXHIBIT A 27
