obligation that, you know, you’ll have like ultimately a full 60-foot wide right-of-way on
<br />Kekūanāo‛a Street. Laukapu Street is also required to set aside and dedicate to the County at no
<br />charge five additional feet so right now, Laukapu Street has a right-of-way of 40 feet so at some
<br />point in time with continued developments in this area then you’ll have like a full County
<br />standard 50-foot wide right-of-way. In addition to that, as you all know, that as developments
<br />have occurred in that area, there is also that obligation to provide the curb, gutter, and sidewalk
<br />and so that’s also an obligation that you know, he’ll have to provide.
<br />
<br />One of the comments made by, you know, that letter also indicated that well, you know, the,
<br />along Kekūanāo‛a Street, you know, you really don’t have enough room for cars to stop on the
<br />side you know, if there’s an emergency vehicle coming, you know, along Kekūanāo‛a Street.
<br />Well, with the provision of this additional right-of-way at least for this particular area, there will
<br />be opportunities for vehicles to you know get on the side and allow these emergency vehicles to,
<br />to go through.
<br />
<br />I think the other telling to is like you know while the Applicant is generally aware of, you know,
<br />we all travel in that, in that area, so we’re sensitive to you know some of the traffic issues
<br />associated with that area, but the ones that really would like to accede to, to the comments would
<br />be primarily like two agencies, and you know one of ‘em is the Police Department, and as the,
<br />you know, your Background Report will indicate is, the Police basically concluded that when
<br />they reviewed the application and I quote, “does not anticipate any significant impact to traffic
<br />and/or public safety concerns.” The other comment is of course the Department of Public
<br />Works, Engineering, and Engineering did not offer any comments aside from the fact that they
<br />would want to see the setting aside of the right-of-way, curb, gutter, sidewalk as well as putting
<br />in the, the required curb, gutters, so, with that if there’s any question that, we’d be more than
<br />happy to respond.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any questions for the Applicant? Thank you. We have one
<br />person signed up for public testimony. Theresa McCrary?

<br />County Planning Commission?
