sense will say it’s a little more challenging when you are on a slanted surface. Does that make sense? There is a lot more engineering involved on the upper portion, especially with the State regulation to the tie-in to Kuakini, accel. and decel., and the amount of the topography. BOWMAN: Yeah, I understand. I just, you know, again, have, like Brandi, concerns about the Ali‘i-La‘aloa, and -. Yeah, thank you. GIFFIN: Any other questions of Brandon? Hearing none, Commissioners, are you ready to make a motion? BOWMAN: I would like to just throw something out, but, I don’t know -. If you had said -. And I understand that you have the $20,000,000 bond for the entire roadway. Would, would the improvements to La‘aloa and Ali‘i be made, I mean, would, if, could there be a stipulation that the road would not open – and I’m just throwing this out – until the makai improvements were made?

But, yeah, so focusing on the application area, the conditions pertaining to that, you know. As I stated, we are doing our best efforts to make sure that the La‘aloa-Ali‘i intersection will be usable and improved in conjunction with completion of Phase 1. That’s our target. GIFFIN: Director. LEITHEAD TODD: If you are going to confer with your attorney, you may also want to take a look at what the purpose of an SMA permit is, which is principally to mitigate impacts to the Special Management Area. So, you know, how far you go, it is a question, and so you may want to speak to Mr. Torigoe. GIFFIN: Thank you. Mr. Torigoe, would you like to comment? TORIGOE: I think I need a few minutes to take a look at the rules and consider what was proposed here. GIFFIN: Commissioners, Director would like a five-minute break. All those in favor? COMMISSIONERS: Aye. GIFFIN: All those opposed? We are in a five-minute break. RECESSED The Chair called a recess at 2:16 p.m. RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 2:43 p.m. GIFFIN: I’d like to call the Hawai‘i County Leeward Planning Commission meeting back to order. And considering the length of this hearing has taken, I would like to break again for a lunch break, and we will go ahead and -. Yeah. What do you think, Daryn, an hour? 15 EXHIBIT E
