GALDONES:ThereÓs nobody here, unfortunately, today. And the concerns <br />being raised puts me in a very uncomfortable position to make a decision today because <br />this subdivision was approved in 2001, couple of years ago, with the density of 25 lots. It <br />has been downscaled to six. And, at that time, the powers to be, in their wisdom, decided <br />that the road system was okay at that particular time. We are decreasing the density, and <br />now the road is becoming a problem which was not addressed in 20 <br />other hand, if the concerns that are raised by Mr. Cardoza is genuine concerns that meets, <br />it is a safety problem, then I believe, as Commissioners, I think we need to give this due <br />consideration. I have some difficulty today in reaching a decision on this. I donÓt know <br />how we can continue this discussion to address that. If I am, at this time, required to <br />make a decision, itÓs going to take some time for me to consider <br />with this. <br />KUBOTA:Let me ask something. Is it my understanding that you said this <br />application is increasing the density? <br />GALDONES:Decreasing the density. <br />KUBOTA:Decreasing the density. If, at 25, it was okay. If we decrease it, it <br />should be better okay. <br />GALDONES:Yes, that is true. <br />KUBOTA:So whatÓs the beef? <br />GALDONES:However, what Mr. Cardoza raised was a safety issue. If the turn <br />is a sharp turn that itÓs going to create a safety problem, and that also entering into <br />Wainaku Drive or Wainaku Road is also a safety problem, then, as <br />have some difficulty approving something that is going to be unsafe for the public. That <br />is the concern that I have. Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Just trying to make sure IÓm on the same page as everybod <br />here -. Planning Director Yuen read some requirements to our prior ordinance which <br />would have required some improvement of the road; and Mr. Fuke indicates that, to his <br />knowledge, whatever was required at that time was done. Yet, Mr. Cardoza says, to his <br />knowledge, the road has not been improved. So it seems to me that thatÓs kind of where <br />the problem is like. Are we sure what the substance of those requirements were and are <br />we sure that the substance was done. If thatÓs true, then it would seem like going to a <br />lower density should not be a problem for us. But I donÓt think weÓre 100 percent sure <br />that that was done properly before. <br />GALDONES:Mr. Cardoza? <br />CARDOZA:All C. Brewer did was pave the road from Wainaku Street to a <br />little bit past that Kauhiula Road. ThatÓs all they did. They made a nice paved area. <br />14 <br /> <br />
