clarifying language. But with that, I have no further information for you, so I stand ready to answer
<br />any questions that you may have.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions of Daryn? Daryn, I just wanted to clarify that
<br />this project has already been approved, and all we are doing today is entertaining a change in one of
<br />the conditions, correct?
<br />
<br />ARAI: That is correct.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay. Any other questions? Daryn, did you want to add?
<br />
<br />ARAI: And just to clarify that while the focus is on an extension of time, one of the requirements
<br />of the code is that we still do look at concurrency requirements, which is why the applicant, as part
<br />of the request, provided a traffic impact analysis report. And regarding water, there is an existing
<br />condition, which assures that the applicant is obligated to provide a water system meeting with
<br />Water Supply’s approval. So with those two items being addressed, we believe it does satisfy the
<br />concurrency requirements.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: All right. Thank you very much. Sid, since I’ve already sworn you in, I don’t think that’s
<br />necessary. But why don’t you go ahead and give us some more additional background information?
<br />
<br />FUKE: Sure. Thank you very much, Madam Chair, again.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: You’re welcome.
<br />
<br />FUKE: First of all, tentative approval, as you had indicated, you know, the basic entitlement is
<br />already in place. The map that you showed over there, tentative subdivision approval has been
<br />granted. We, after the Council had approved the provision of second access where the staff kind of
<br />pointed out, then we submitted the revised map to the Council. The other thing I wanted to kind of
<br />more for clarification is that the Land Use Commission had -. You know, all of the zoning was in
<br />place and we got an amendment in 2007. They did as much as they could like doing the
<br />channelized intersection plans and related things, you know, associated with the project. But
<br />unfortunately, they didn’t want to proceed aggressively in 2007 for two reasons: One was that, you
<br />know, it was, the market, there were indications that the market was beginning to turn south, and it
<br />really, you know, like came very strong in 2008, and the second reason was that they wanted to wait
<br />to see what the Land Use Commission was going to do. And the Land Use Commission finally
<br />decided in June 2008 that this property can be reclassified into the Rural district and we all know,
<br />not knowing what the Land Use Commission may require as additional conditions, they didn’t want
<br />to proceed aggressively. Then 2008 came and then I think the rest is history, you know, in terms of
<br />the overall market, so -. The other thing is just to make clear, as the staff indicated, one is that the
<br />channelized intersections will be constructed, will be required at both of the intersections, and
<br />second is that there is a roundabout requirement that if the development goes as scheduled, and as
<br />recommended by the staff, it should be in at the very latest five years from now.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay. Commissioners, any questions of the applicant? I know you don’t -.
<br />
<br />WHITTEMORE: Madam Chair?
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: I’m sorry. Tom.
