hasn’t granted the funding, so the cost of building a bridge, putting that entire cost on one developer is not, not proportional, it’s not reasonable for the scale of their development. So, the Applicant, the condition reads that the Applicant would still build those two roadways except for the bridge, the Kawailani Street Extension and Kupulau Street Extension. And, then going on to Condition H—Condition H, the Applicant requested fair share fee offsets which we, we typically include in rezones whenever an applicant constructs roadway improvements or provides land for parks, we usually grant a fair share offset. So, in this case, the Applicant requested some changes to that condition and the Planning Department is recommending again favorable with a little bit of modification, and that basically being that if the developer constructs those two roadways except for the bridge, they receive offsets from their fair share for that cost. And, if for some reason, during the upcoming General Plan Amendment, if it’s decided that either of those extensions are no longer desirable for regional roadway, then we would release the developer from that obligation, but they would still have to pay their fair share assessment. So, I think that kind of in a nutshell describes the request. This is the site plan showing the entire development. You see Phase 1 here which is already completed. This is the, this is Kūkūau Street entering their property, and then Phase 2, what is shown as Phase—I’m sorry, Phase 2 is over here. So, that has not been developed yet, and that shows a roadway providing access to each lot as well as the future Kawailani Street Extension here. And then, Phase 3 shows again this roadway here providing access to each lot, and then the Kupulau Street Extension in this area here. So, the drainage easement that requires a bridge is located just south of Puainako Street in this location. These are some photos of the site. This is standing at the corner of Puainako Street and the project access on Kūkūau Street, looking towards Hilo. And then this is looking up Puainako Street, and this is looking into the project site. You can see the entry sign, Hilo Hillside. And then this is a picture of that drainage easement area that would require a bridge to connect Puainako Street to the development. As I had mentioned before, the Planning Director, Director’s recommending a favorable recommendation with modifications to the Applicant’s request. And, I do want to call your attention to one item that the Applicant provided to us this morning. It’s a, about four maps, and I believe the Applicant’s going to discuss that. Are there any questions? MOSES: Commissioners, any question of staff? Okay, will the Applicant or their representative please come forward and be seated at the table in front of the Commissioners? FUKE: Good morning. 4 EXHIBIT A
