Department of Public Works.” The new sentence would be, “Further, all improvements and the land within the subject property used for this pull-out shall be subdivided and submitted for dedication to the County at no cost in conjunction with the Final Subdivision Approval process.” That pretty much concludes our presentation and our request. If there are any questions that you may have, then we would be more than happy to answer them. BEAUDET: Commissioners, any questions of the applicant? I have a question, Mr. Fuke. Relative to, or maybe it’s for staff then, with the requested changes or amendments to Condition I, you want to say, you want to refer to Chapter 22 of the County Code in replacement of R-37 and 38. I’m not familiar with 37 and 38. So if we could understand the differences in --. JACKSON: Sure. So one of those standard details, I think it’s R-37, requires that a driveway connection to the County road not be wider than 36 feet. And so, as Mr. Fuke mentioned, since they are proposing to combine their driveway with the pull-out, Public Works is recommending it will go beyond the 36-foot minimum, I mean maximum, and so it won’t need the R-37 standard. So Public Works, I spoke with Public Works and they were agreeable to removing the references to those County standards and instead saying that the driveway shall conform to Chapter 22, which is the Street Code, and the Street Code allows for a variance from the County standard details so that they can have a wider driveway that includes the pull-out area. BEAUDET: Thank you. CHURCH: Brandi? BEAUDET: Go ahead. CHURCH: This pertains to Condition J and the pull-out where the area is to be subdivided and dedicated to the County, therefore it becomes the County’s responsibility to maintain that. Is that a customary and ordinary thing for situation like this? JACKSON: Yes. Typically, if it’s, say, a pull-out that public vehicles would be using adjacent to a County road, it becomes part of the County right-of-way. And if I can just add a little bit to that, there is a quite wide right-of-way there, it’s a 50-foot right-of-way, so it’s possible that just a very small portion of the subject property would need to be subdivided out and dedicated; it could be that the majority of the pull-out and driveway apron is within the County right-of-way. UNGER: Can you explain your thought process in laying out the subdivision? I’m not used to seeing a makai lot and then two lots and then you’ve got the small connector access way connecting to a mauka lot; so basically, the one lot is the makai lot and the mauka lot with the flag lot. FUKE: Yeah, from what I understood from the applicant’s parents, the concept is to have the mauka portion be used for cattle grazing, and also the makai portion as well, which is where the applicant’s parents would own; so they want to be able to have like, you know, unfretted access to the mauka portion, as well as the makai section, for cattle grazing activity. The interior lots, well, the smaller lots, the one-acre size lots, one would be, you know, for the applicant and the other one would be for 6 EXHIBIT A
