hit the entire island regardless of whether you were next to the coast or not. And so we want a <br />system that is island wide and takes care of all kinds of contingencies. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you. Any other questions from staff? Seeing none, would you like to add <br />anything else, Madam Director? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: No. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay, then for the record nobody signed up from the public to testify. <br /> <br />ONO: I -. <br /> <br />KERN: Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: I’m sorry, I’m just thinking off the top of my head. You know, when we make these <br />recommendations, my concern is, are we looking at where the funding is going to be coming <br />from? <br /> <br />KERN: I can answer or you can answer. This one is built in. That is it is basically the <br />developer’s responsibility or kuleana to build it. If they are going to do a subdivision of 25 lots or <br />more, they have to put in an alert system in there. If they’re doing a commercial building of <br />certain size or more or mixed use, then it triggers that. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: There is a plan for the State to provide funding for a number of sirens, and <br />we are going to be implementing that, and there are a number of critical areas first. The concern <br />is that if someone wants to kind of get ahead of the State putting these sirens in and thereby <br />increase the density in an area, the traffic in an area, and thereby increase the need to evacuate <br />people, that if they want to go ahead and build before the State builds the siren, then they need to <br />put the siren in first when they get to a certain density. That’s basically -. Otherwise, they need <br />to wait for the State to come in and build it. <br /> <br />ONO: One more question. <br /> <br />KERN: Yes, go ahead, Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: Daryn mentioned the thing about these resort areas. Are they grandfathered to be excused <br />or will they have to put in one of these siren things? <br /> <br />ARAI: Well, the way I see it, there is no such thing as grandfather. I mean it’s a matter of <br />providing these types of needed warning systems in place to address existing development. The <br />reason for concurrency is basically before any additional development is approved, making <br />matters worse, that these types of minimum standards or minimum facilities are provided in the <br />area, no different than road, no different than water. Those facilities must be in place to provide <br />adequate support as development commences, pursues. So -. <br /> <br />3 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
