GIFFIN: Just a minute. Daryn, did you want to -? ARAI: I’m sorry, help me understand the blocking off this road. HICKCOX: Okay. From the, it would be makai-south corner of the Towata property, running diagonally to the, I think that’s Lot 63 -. ARAI: Okay. So basically cutting off traffic flow along this Government Road? HICKCOX: Yes, from this side. ARAI: From this side -. HICKCOX: And the only entrance would be from Imin. ARAI: Normally, I wouldn’t -. Ki will take this. EMLER: If you try to block it off on this end, you need a turnaround, and that’s a pretty substantial amount of improvement to do a turnaround to a dedicable standard like that or, you know, in a way that an emergency vehicle could use it. So I think you are looking at more improvements at this end of the road than last, to do something like that. Can I have the floor for another minute on this issue? GIFFIN: Ki. EMLER: I really, when Daryn approached me with this one-way, I thought the option still having additional right-of-way at this end of the road was still open to facilitate that turn movement onto Māmalahoa Highway. Even if you made it one-way, it may be, make a real difference which way you go one-way, and how you facilitate that turn could call for additional widening on one end like this in order to do that properly and do it in a way that’s acceptable to the community. So I thought that -. And Wayne, I think it was Wayne, or Thomas, did you make the issue of having twelve feet on one end and zero on the other? Yeah, that’s a reasonable accommodation in my opinion. I just didn’t, again, I didn’t want to propose that; I thought that was too complicated, so I tried to make it standard request of one-half additional right-of-way. There is no way that Public Works will probably ever be going to get the other side to a full 50 feet. I’m not even considering that to be a possibility at this point. So, good one, I’m going to take that store. And this is overhanging the County road right now. So it’s a matter of trying to accommodate the existing condition is what we are requesting. GIFFIN: Right. Daryn? ARAI: The only thing I can think of is that to accommodate the additional right-of-way necessary, in the addendum to the Condition E that I mentioned, where it talks about “shall be limited to pavement, transitions and striping,” I could include additional language like “shall be limited to right-of-way and pavement transition and striping”; at least that speaks directly to right-of-way and it’s clear that it’s to accommodate the pavement transition. Ki was mentioning whether it will make specific reference to 12.5 feet, and I’m not making the specific reference because the way I see it is whatever is necessary to accommodate the pavement transition, that’s how much right-of-way you take. 25 EXHIBIT A
