` connect up from Huallai down to Queen Kaahumanu Highway. Pualani Estates Subdivision has gone through its first two phases already and is working its way up the hill. This project, in addition to the Huallai Heights, as you can see on your I think it's Exhibit B is the easiest one to see, in that one you will see both the collector road alignment on the TMK and you'll also see the interplay between the Huallai Heights Subdivision and the subject property will be coming across here with a 50-foot wide County dedicable road which will be dedicated to the County, curb, gutter, sidewalks, to connect up to the 60-foot collector road and also coming in for service off of a non-dedicable road here for one lot. The improvements that have already been approved, excuse me, have already been pre- reviewed by the Department of Public Works with regard to the Huallai Heights Subdivision are -, already include this, you see right here in this area, you'll see a curved radius. That is the anticipated new connection up to Huallai Road. As you'll see from your conditions of approval, the Department of Public Works and the Planning Department are requiring that the developer for both the Huallai Heights Road, I mean the Huallai Heights Subdivision and the proposed project dedicate one half of the right-of-way necessary for future expansion of Huallai Road from its present 30 to 40-foot width up to 60 feet. So what the Huallai Heights project and the proposed project will do is contribute to both, I guess all three items that were raised by the gentlemen, which is to ensure the completion of the mauka-makai connector subject to Pualani hooking it up here at the top of their project, would ensure a realignment of the access driveway in this direction so that it more closely fits and works with the Kona Orchards access road, and it would also develop the north-south County dedicable roadway system that they're trying to establish as you go through the various rezonings across the hill. The reason for the six lots coming across, the five-six lots here coming across the top of the project and being accessed off of this driveway easement are that there's a significant grade differential here, and in order to minimize the grading requirements, they're going to try to keep these up at one grade, and then it drops down to a lower grade, and so that's why we're coming in for the main access to the subdivision off of the spine road and getting up into a cul- de-sacs top and bottom. And this area is that, like I said, that grade separation which makes it very difficult. They'd have to do a lot of cut and fill to smooth that drop-out. They were correct in their assumption that the park is part of the Huallai Heights project. That will be a private park maintained by the homeowners association, so we will pass on the comments regarding the concerns about maintenance and trying to keep it free from being a crime area. And I think if you look at, like I say, our Exhibit B to the application, that's a copy of the tax map, and you can see off of Exhibit B the Pualani Estates Subdivision on the makai side near ` Queen Kaahumanu Highway, and you can see how that collector road alignment extends in the mauka direction going up through the Huallai Heights Subdivision and it will meet Huallai Road just mauka of this particular project. So we hope that with the development of these 12
