go together, or vice, or the other thing is, I mean, if were looking, if these are still on the books when we make -. I mean, my question is, you know, if these are still on the books when we make the recommendation to remove the highway improvements, are we, you know, are we doing this prematurely or should these all be done at one time? HAYASHI:What well be recommending to the Land Use Commission, if the Commission accepts the Planning Directors recommendation, is to also include the housekeeping changes of deleting the agricultural museum, the equestrian trail, the fruit stand and couple of the other retail outlets that or uses that initially was proposed and subsequently deleted, since that particular area was deleted from the Special Permit back in 1994. So, technically, while the condition refers to those uses, those uses are not, were in the area that was already deleted. So we should have done, made the necessary changes to those conditions when the deletion occurred for this area back in 1994. So its basically a housekeeping change that well be recommending to the Land Use Commission. FUJIKAWA:Is there any other question, Commissioners, to the staff? If not, the Applicantsrepresentative,youhavebeenswornin.Giveyournamesoyoumayproceed. HSU:MynameisChianHsu.ImthemanagerofNaniMau,Inc.Andnow, Norman basically talked about the whole story, but then Ill just kind of make, clarify some things. So Nani Mau is still requesting deletion of Condition No. 7 from Docket No. Special Permit 73-159. And Condition No. 7 was originally numbered as Condition No. 8 in the fourth amendment, and the condition now of highway intersection improvement, that was originally imposed upon the approved, the expansion plans. And since then Condition No. 7 has been restated in the following four amendments. Ill talk a little bit about the fourth amendment: Approved the arboretum to be expanded by an additional five acres for storage and the establishment of forest trails for a total area of approximately 58.793 acres. And, also, approved expansion of retail commercial activities from the existing 10,562 square feet up to 25,000 square feet. The 25,000 square feet activities include the main building, outdoor dining area, two proposed snack shops, proposed fruit/vegetable stand and an agricultural museum. The amendment increased the total area of Nani Mau Gardens project site to approximately 58.786 acres. Therefore, Condition No. 7 was imposed. I guess the No. 7 was imposed because of the anticipated traffic impact resulting from this expansion plan. So Condition No. 7 stated that the Hawaii Belt Highway shall be improved with a right- turn deceleration lane from the Hawaii Belt Highway onto Makalika Street; and an acceleration lane for traffic entering Makalika Street; and also additional street lighting; and the highway improvement should be constructed within five years from the date of this amendment or when traffic volumes of the Hawaii Belt Highway-Makalika Street intersection reach levels warranting such improvements as determined by the State Department of Transportation or Department of Public Works. And after the fourth amendment, the sixth amendment deleted the five-acre garden expansion area which was approved by the fourth amendment. And the following seventh amendment deleted approximately 30 acres from the Special Permit. This amendment deleted the area of the proposed 9-hole pitch and putt golf course. 4
