The approximately 1,520 square foot area <br /> could provide root zone for several different non-invasive tree species with diameters at breast <br /> height up to 12-14 inches. <br /> HDOT Response 4: HDOT will design the roundabout to be visually consistent with the <br /> surrounding environment. HDOT will evaluate CRC's requested landscaping treatments, in <br /> accordance with HDOT's landscape maintenance guidelines. <br /> Finally, as pertains to the above and in accordance with HRS 92-5.5, the CRC also <br /> moved and voted at the September 13, 2023, regular meeting, to form a Permitted Interaction <br /> Group (i.e., subcommittee)for the purpose of a site visit with HDOT project team. Specifically, <br /> as related to the proximity of the temporary bridge, rights of way, existing lava stone walls, and <br /> burial areas or riparian-related cultural resources. It was agreed that a site visit can be <br /> scheduled once initial surveying and markings are completed on-site at a date and time to be <br /> determined,prior to filing the National Environmental Policy Act CatEx and pending right of <br /> way establishment by HDOT. Please contact Hawaii County Cultural Resources staff at <br /> CRC@hawaiicounty.gov to coordinate and arrange the requested site visit with the <br /> subcommittee. Subsequent to the site visit, a (site visit) report will be developed and presented at <br /> a regular CRC meeting. <br /> Subsequent to that meeting, the CRC will hold a third meeting and may make additional <br /> recommendation(s) to the proposing agency or person for their consideration in execution of any <br /> action. <br /> HDOT Response 5: The HDOT will contact the CRC staff to coordinate and arrange the <br /> requested site visit with the subcommittee. <br /> We look forward to continuing consultation with you on this project. HDOT will contact your <br /> office to coordinate a site visit as noted above. <br /> Should you have any questions,please contact our Project Manager, Mr. Andrew Hirano, <br /> at(808) 692-7546, from our Design Branch, Technical Design Services Section or by email at <br /> andrew.j.hirano@hawaii.gov. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> HENRY KENNEDY <br /> Engineering Program Manager <br /> Design Branch <br />
