LIM: Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. GIFFIN: I’m sorry, I have a question or two. There was some discussion about what the applicant was going to do regarding improvements on Hualālai Road, correct? What is the distance of the frontage of the property in question? Approximately. We don’t have to go into inches but. A. BARRETT: The stub-out -. GIFFIN: Will you identify yourself for the record. A. BARRETT: My name is Al Barrett. I’m a member of Hualalai Partners. GIFFIN: Thank you. A. BARRETT: The portion that is not colored in, kind of on the curve, the property, I think that’s Lot 30, that is about 800 feet right there. So I think the remainder of our portion is maybe 1,500 feet. So it’s probably 2,000, 2,300 feet total frontage, and 800 of it is on a different property. GIFFIN: So then your frontage represents what percentage of the road, the whole road of Hualālai? I just want a physical approximation of how much improvement you are going to do. I’m not familiar with this road at all. So maybe, I don’t know, Steve, can you help us? LIM: I’m looking at the Exhibit 2 in our application, which is a Tax Map, which probably is close in terms of scale. And when you take it from the Hu Ko Pa parcel entry, which is where the main entry for this project would be, within Parcel 42, and you take it up to mauka past Hienaloli to the mauka most portion of Parcel 43, which is on the lower right hand corner there, and you take it from the point all the way back down to Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway is which you are asking, it’s a very crooked line, but just ballparking it I would say probably 40 percent, something like that. GIFFIN: That’s what I thought as well. Thank you. COMMAND: Madam Chair? GIFFIN: Director. COMMAND: Just for clarification, Hualālai Road does extend beyond that up to Hōlualoa, and I believe that all of Hualālai is approximately three miles, so we are talking 15,000 feet, right, give or take. GIFFIN: Yeah, yeah. Hang on, I have to find my letter. I appreciated this letter, Steve, dated September 12, that you referenced in your comment this morning. Reading over the testimony from the last meeting there was some concern, in fact a lot of concern, regarding the traffic on Hualālai Road. Also there was a lot of concern about the sight distance on Hualālai Road. And I wondered if more specifically you could elaborate on those two issues in particular. LIM: Thank you. With respect to the traffic along Hualālai Road, I think we heard from the neighbors, and I think it’s pretty common knowledge, and they say substandard road that’s fairly well traveled, maybe less so now that Puapuaanui has opened up. But still, you know, it’s not the 8 EXHIBIT B
