TAKEMOTO: And then the last point I’d like to bring up is the right-of-way here, and it’s regarding Condition No. 3. In Condition No. 3, our proposal was, this is an 80-foot right-of-way at the intersection, and Condition No. 3 requires it to be expanded to 90 feet. We thought 80 feet was enough to provide for the reasonable long term, and 90 feet would be to accommodate what would be almost like the worst case; if a scale of development like what was proposed at ‘O‘oma became approved in the future, then maybe the 90-foot right-of-way would be required. But until then 80-foot would suffice for very long term. But if the County wants to take the full 90 feet now, even if it may not be needed, there is no objection from the applicant to do that. And I’ll leave it at that. BOWMAN: Do you have any comments from staff on this? ARAI: Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. Regarding – let me address them one at a time – the condition that spoke to the use of possible bioswales, we reviewed the proposed language with the Department of Public Works as well, and we have no objection to incorporating the condition as stated by the applicant’s representative into our recommendation of proposed conditions of approval. So – where did I put that – and I would like to, again, let me re-read it again; the condition that they are offering is, “Implement best management practices engineered to detain and filter pollutant-carrying first-flush stormwater or spills to supplement drywells, for example, bioswales or similar measures appropriate to the potential impact to anchialine ponds and the level of traffic, meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works.” So we could include that as a new condition. I just haven’t decided where best to put it, but we would recommend incorporating the language into your recommendation. Regarding the proposed amendment to Condition No. 3, again, we spoke to Public Works just now. And at this point in time they would be willing to accept the full 90 feet; so that being said, we would like to recommend the Condition No. 3 not be modified and kept as is, as recommended by the Planning Director. BOWMAN: Thank you. Any questions, Commissioners? Mr. Whittemore. WHITTEMORE: I have just -. BOWMAN: Can you use the mike, please? Thanks. WHITTEMORE: Thank you. Just a couple of questions just out of curiosity. Roy, you indicated up here that this lateral, the access for the Lee property, could be moved, that easement. It could vary, it could come down to the lower point, or wherever they felt it most desirable for their property? TAKEMOTO: Yeah. Of course, it will be subject to traffic engineering and Public Works reviewing approval -. WHITTEMORE: It seems like it would really defeat the purpose of the frontage road having a clear flow of traffic, if it has to take jogs and turns and stops and things like that. TAKEMOTO: Yeah, that would be the least desirable, but it happens. 7 EXHIBIT A
