the difference between a private road and the County dedicable road. That will be the fairest way to do that. That’s all for the applicant. Thank you very much. We’ve reviewed the background report and recommendations, and have no other comments. BEAUDET: Commissioners, any comments or questions of the applicant? I’d like to just clarify your last request one more time, just for me so that I’m clear on what you are asking as far as the additional credit. LIM: Okay. Whether it’s the old condition, or I guess your Condition G or our proposed Condition G, they both talk about the Pualena Street extension through the project that’s, by the Kona CDP, being required to be a County dedicable road. So we are proposing that the applicant, because it’s not their project, it’s really the County’s requirement, that we get credit for the difference between what we would have built ordinarily at the private road standard and the County dedicable minor street standard. BEAUDET: Okay. And if we could return back to the conversation on the proposed water improvements, how much gallons per day would this development add to the County system? Because you have spoken of a limitation on a daily volume available as such water couldn’t be pumped beyond Honokōhau Harbor to the airport. LIM: Right. That’s a DWS system-wide issue. Like I said, today water is not coming from the Kahalu‘u shaft, which is one of their main sources of water pumping north. It’s not going past Honokōhau Harbor. What will happen when the Waiaha System gets fully built out is they are going to release the valve and water is now going to flow all the way up to the airport, which is going to serve the airport, NELHA, the Department of Agriculture lots mauka of the airport, that whole area, which is having a hard time getting service right now, they have very poor water pressure. So the present applicant in contributing to the development of the project as one of its members is going to be assisting with the overall health of the water system in Kona. BEAUDET: Thank you. WHITTEMORE: Brandi? BEAUDET: Go ahead. WHITTEMORE: Steve, if we can go back to your request on I, Condition I, I’m trying to understand the rationale of exempting the roadway frontage improvements on Lot 30, given that Hualālai Road is a known traffic issue, and I would assume that in your request then that becomes the obligation of the County for that section fronting Lot 30? LIM: We don’t know. Right now, like I said, Lot 30 is going to be developed as a water tank by Dan Bolton as part of the Waiaha System project. We don’t control the land, so if you tell us to go improve that roadway frontage, we don’t have any ability to do that. WHITTEMORE: But your property skirts both sides, I mean on the makai side you probably have a section of, what would be a point of improving 20 feet of roadway, or whatever it is a small section, and then leaving an existing road, and then continuing on with improvement? I’m just 7 EXHIBIT B
