L. BARRETT: Good morning, Chair Giffin. GIFFIN: Good morning. L. BARRETT: Commissioners. Just a brief recap on some of the items that, we ended up getting the transcript from the last one and we’ve heard all the testimony, and throughout our H.O.A. meetings with the homeowners, the six different meetings that we’ve had, we had a response that we had written to you. And some of the major issues were water, and we feel that we have addressed that by being members of the Waiaha Water System, and that will be actually benefiting the County through adding over two million gallons of water per day to the system. The traffic – most of these items, we feel that we’ve had licensed architects, we’ve had engineers, we’ve had our archaeological, and they’ve taken care of everything with the County all the facts and all the legal aspects of this – so the traffic, we have done traffic studies for this numerous times, and even during peak hours they have all been addressed and been satisfactory. Looking at the map there, on the mauka side there, you do see a walking pathway, and that was addressed because of the community concerns; we have an area that they can get off of Hualālai Road and walk somewhere different than actually on the road there. All the stub-outs have been taken care of with DPW and Ki Emler; we have met with our traffic expert there. All the project access, as of this time it’s a standalone project with the entrance onto Hualālai Road, and that was also addressed by the County Council the last time we were up here, so we wanted to make sure that this was not considered a cul-de-sac issue; so we did provide the stub-out there to Hualālai Road. And actually at the time, when we need to get this engineered, we’ll figure out the best way. But the sight is enough distance, and I forget if it’s 300 feet either way, but it does have adequate sight distance on either side of that. Drainage, and what you see also on the mauka side of the property, you see the trees, and there is actually a right-of-way there, which we are going to address some of the offsite drainage issues coming onto the property, as well as drywells throughout the property, and make sure that no water is generated coming off of our property. But we will be taking care of a portion of the offsite property coming down as well. We feel that the benefits to the County will really address some of the community concerns that have been brought up as far as roadways part of the conditions; we will have to improve the roadways. Drainage was another one, and we are gong to address drainage to take care of some of these things. And generating income to the County, over 500,000, $560,000 will be generated to the County through the fair share and parks and the Police and Fire and the roadways. I believe that’s it that I had on the benefits of our project. Thank you. GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Sir, did you, are you prepared to speak to the project this morning? R. BARRETT: I am prepared, but I have nothing further to say. GIFFIN: Fine. And you as well? A. BARRETT: Yeah, as well, I have nothing new to add to it, so, we had the, with the last testimony, I think, so nothing new at this point. GIFFIN: Thank you. A. BARRETT: Mr. Command, though, did we answer your question on the access point? 6 EXHIBIT B
