GIFFIN: And in that regard, Daryn, I would like to propose that we go into a recess, so that all of us have a chance to step back for a minute, you can have a chance to come up with some proposed wording, and just give us a break for a few minutes. ARAI: Sure. And I think you all deserve the recess, given we’ve been going on an hour and half, but just to let you know, I do have some language ready for you. GIFFIN: I didn’t doubt that for a minute. So with that, I would like to call that we go into a recess for, what, ten minutes? Ten minutes? Daryn, is ten minutes sufficient? Ten minutes. Thank you. RECESSED The Chair called a recess at 10:56 a.m. RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 11:10 a.m. GIFFIN: Will the meeting of the Leeward County Planning Commission back to order. At this point, and, Daryn, correct me if I’m wrong, it seems to me that we are faced with several condition possibilities. The first one, of course, is from our Director that came as part of her recommendation. The applicant has also come up with a proposed amendment to Condition E. At this time, I’d like to ask the staff if there are any other possible scenarios that this Commission can consider. ARAI: Okay, I know I’ll probably confuse matters more, but I’m going to try my best to keep it really clear and succinct. If I am to count correctly, I think you have like four options available to you: As Chairwoman Giffin mentioned, you have the Director’s recommendation; you also have the applicant’s proposed revisions to Condition E that was transmitted to you separately; the third item is Public Works has recommended that the Director’s Condition E be modified to increase the additional right-of-way width from eight feet to 12.5, so that is a third option; and the final option was based on previous discussions about the possibility of one-way traffic flow along Old Government Road that could alleviate the need for the extensive roadway, utility relocation, that also remains a possibility. For that possible option, I have come up with some, a basic draft language, or condition, that would be added on to the existing Condition E as a follow-out option, meaning if one-way traffic flow is established, then this optional condition would kick in and all the requirements originally proposed would not be applied. So you have four different opportunities, or options, available to you. GIFFIN: Commissioners, would you like to hear the proposed language for option four? COMMISSIONERS: Yes. GIFFIN: Daryn? ARAI: Okay, I should note that should this option, this proposed language be included, I would recommend that Condition E be modified to include the 12.5 feet of additional right-of-way from the current eight as proposed by the Director. Public Works has indicated that the 12.5 is necessary to accommodate all of the improvements and transitions required for two-way traffic along Old Government Road. So with that -. BEAUDET: So 12.5 -. 21 EXHIBIT A
