<br />HENKEL: If the 80-foot right-of-way is left on the map, could they, if they improved the <br />Nowelo Street access, will that satisfy the requirements of providing a right-of-way through <br />there? <br /> <br />ARAI: I think that’s what Mr. Santiago is alluding to, I mean, basically saying, you know, keep <br />it on the maps for now and hopefully that will drive home -. And I’m sorry I’m paraphrasing, <br />but hopefully it will drive home the point where if they want to utilize and take advantage of <br />Nowelo Street as sufficiently or substantively meeting and satisfying the intent of the 80-foot <br />right-of-way, then sure. Then I think we as a department could basically say it satisfies what the <br />intent of this proposed alignment is hoping to accomplish. <br /> <br />HENKEL: It’s, I find it ironic Nowelo Street is wider than Mohouli, I think; and it has got speed <br />bumps, you know, the upper end, and no traffic. And then Mohouli, you know, is choke cars. <br />So, I mean, I can really sympathize with Mr. Santiago. But I’m hoping that the University, like <br />they’ve said, can, you know, work out a satisfactory solution. <br /> <br />ONO: Mr. Chair? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Yes, Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: Daryn, you know, in the previous request for approval, was -. And I’m really <br />embarrassed by not knowing the name of the street where the Medical Center is further towards <br />Hamakua side where we had approved earlier -. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Ponahawai? <br /> <br />ONO: Ponahawai, is that -? <br /> <br />ARAI: Kawena Lapa’au. <br /> <br />ONO: Did we not approve a development in that area where there will be a diversion of traffic <br />feeding into that Ponahawai? <br /> <br />ARAI: Yeah, I think I know what project you’re talking about, but I don’t think I have a map <br />that shows, no I don’t have a map, sorry. I think that is the Wailani project, if I remember <br />correctly. It’s in between Mohouli Extension and Komohana Street right across or mauka of <br />Kawena Lapa’au, which is the Ponahawai Medical Complex. They were required, I think, by <br />their change of zone ordinance to extend Puainako, not Puainako, Ponahawai Street mauka of <br />Komohana and eventually tie in with Mohouli Street. So that would be another connector road <br />providing an enhanced circulation pattern within this particular area. It is located off the map to <br />the top of where this project site is situated. <br /> <br />ONO: So the concern for traffic as being expressed in the future, it is possible that that <br />development or that road development may, would help with the diversion of traffic outside, <br />away from Mohouli? <br /> <br /> <br />14 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
