include turning lanes with traffic signalization, and the entire alignment will be retrofitted, not
<br />retrofitted, but will be provided with street lighting. The project and its anticipated cost to be,
<br />proposed to be Alternative B Cross-Section, Alternative B, which has a cost of approximately
<br />7.3 million dollars. By letter dated September 14 of this year, Public Works has stated that Ali‘i
<br />Drive intersection improvements, a roundabout, and improvements to the existing lower portion of
<br />La‘aloa Avenue, which are not included in this Phase 1 improvements that is currently before you,
<br />although those future improvements have been identified in the final environmental assessment that
<br />was prepared for the La‘aloa project.
<br />
<br />Again, this is a preliminary site plan. The Phase 1 improvements that is a subject of today’s permit
<br />request is in this vicinity here. And this is the existing section. We have representatives of Public
<br />Works here, and they can go into further detail, if there are any questions regarding improvements
<br />related to this makai section. And again, this map just shows some of the various alignments, or
<br />alternatives I should say, that were considered during the process to determine what would be the
<br />preferred alignment that now is before you. And again, this is a close-up showing more details
<br />regarding that alignment. This is a cross-section showing the proposed travel ways, sidewalks,
<br />curb, gutter, sidewalks, or curb, gutter, sidewalk improvements and bike lane improvements, as well
<br />as the green representing the center median.
<br />
<br />These are photographs showing the existing section of La‘aloa Avenue at its intersection with Ali‘i
<br />Drive, so we are looking mauka. We will then proceed along La‘aloa – I’m sorry, this is looking
<br />makai from La‘aloa at Ali‘i Drive. And at this point we’re now taking a nice drive along La‘aloa
<br />Avenue. So I’ll run through a series of photographs just to show you the existing condition of the
<br />existing travel way. Notice the pavement width. Also, make note of the shoulder improvements, as
<br />we move along. So again, this is further mauka, as you’re driving up. And this is through the older
<br />section; I believe this section is by Keauhou View. And you’ll notice where we lose some of the
<br />paved shoulder improvements along this section. And again, continuing on. And you can see how
<br />the shoulder treatments and the width of the roadway change, as you proceed up toward the newer
<br />sections of the developments that adjoin the alignment of La‘aloa Avenue. And there we have a
<br />speed hump. And I believe this section we are entering into Keauhou View, I mean, I’m sorry, Ali‘i
<br />Heights Subdivision. And you now know the transition into a paved swale shoulder. And we are
<br />getting to the end, so -.
<br />
<br />The Planning Director is recommending approval of this SMA use permit application subject to
<br />conditions of approval, which have been provided to you on the goldenrod copies. With that, I
<br />stand ready to answer any questions that you may have.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Commissioners, any questions of Daryn? Hearing none, will the applicant -.
<br />
<br />BOWMAN: I do.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Oh, I’m sorry. Lani -.
<br />
<br />BOWMAN: But maybe the applicant, sorry. Do you know about what the slope is on the 1,900, or
<br />should the applicant -?
<br />
<br />ARAI: I would refer to the applicant because it does transition significantly, as you go along the
<br />alignment.
