thousand people going to be living in there – 400 houses, two and a half per house, a thousand cars,
<br />or 800 cars, two cars per household. So I think that this needs to go back to the planning board.
<br />
<br />Now, there was some, now I’m going to kind of divert a little bit, then go to talk about round-out,
<br />because everybody talks about round-outs from the book. We had a gentleman here who talked
<br />about round-outs from personal experience. Let me talk about round-outs from personal
<br />experiences, okay? The first thing, Mauna Lani, great, fantastic, I love it, I love the round-out,
<br />okay? Then I go back to Annapolis, and in the back of the shopping center there is a very little used
<br />road with a round-out, roundabout, great – no traffic, roundabout’s great. Now, go down West
<br />Street, and this is where you get traffic, and that is one hell of a mess, I hate it. I hate to go down
<br />there because it’s dangerous; you’re all steering to the right, you’ve got traffic coming to right, but
<br />then you’ve got pedestrians to the left. See, all your roundabouts basically are moving the
<br />pedestrians out on the right hand side, and people come in, and you are all looking to the left, and so
<br />when you have pedestrians running across, it -. A roundabout on a busy street is hell; roundabouts
<br />on a not-used street is great, it’s fantastic. And I think that the Waikoloa Road is approaching hell
<br />as far as roundabouts are concerned.
<br />
<br />Now, in summary, I think it’s great that they want the extension. I think because of economic
<br />situations, I think the County should be flex enough to allow developers to go with the economy.
<br />You know, when we got, when they got money, they can spend it; when they don’t, they can’t
<br />spend it, but they have plans and they have investment. So I think it’s fantastic, and I think I will
<br />highly recommend that they give some leeway for economic conditions. Thank you.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Commissioners, any questions of Mr. Green? Director.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: I just wanted to clarify, because you were talking about some of the lots
<br />abutting Waikoloa Road; there are specific conditions that they are not going to have access, the
<br />access to Waikoloa Road is limited to two points. So you won’t have multiple driveways.
<br />
<br />R. GREEN: Now it’s three.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: Well, it’s going to be -.
<br />
<br />R. GREEN: Three now. And I apologize because that’s what’s written inside -.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: Well, it’s the existing Melia Road and then the other two that come up the
<br />Waikoloa Road; the existing condition says that the development, other than Melia Road, which
<br />would become the third, is limited to two. The lots will not have individual driveways onto
<br />Waikoloa Road.
<br />
<br />R. GREEN: Yeah, I saw that. I apologize, because -.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: Okay. I just, I just wanted to clarify that so that you don’t think that there is
<br />multiple cars coming off of those lots.
<br />
<br />R. GREEN: No, no, I apologize. When I looked, when I kind of looked at the map -. And I
<br />apologize for that. I’d like to retract that statement. But -.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Thank you. I will.
