the right-of-way, and on the left side of the street there, there’s probably 20 feet between the roadway edge and the utility pole. And, if you look further, at the next pole on the right side of the street, it’s right on the roadway edge, so I mean it seems to me that the improvements should be made on the other side of the street then the side that Mr. Nishimura is occupying. DARROW: What you’re looking at in this photo is the current Milo Street pavement, the property boundary of the Applicants which is identified by the placement of the fence. So, the requested 10-feet future road widening setback would be from where that fence is going onto the property and those improvements being made. There is a similar condition for the applicant across the street, did that have to do similar improvements. So, the hope is that when both are improved, you will have a 60-foot right-of-way with the improvements with the paved swales. KANUHA: Mr. Chairman? HEAUKULANI: Yes, Director Kanuha. KANUHA: If I could direct the Commissioners to pages 4 and 5 of the County’s Recommendation. Pages 4 and 5 of the Recommendation—both of those pages have rather extensive discussion of the roadway situations within this area, so if you take a quick glance at that, you can see the difficulty we have in different requirements that have been imposed on individual projects within there. What this condition, what Condition G basically is, it’s a departure from the Department of Public Works’ requirements because their requirements for this kind of road basically says there’s a need, a requirement for curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. What we have done, given the situation along Milo Street, which is, you know kind of chop suey. Some guys gotta do this; other guys gotta do that. That’s how we—we came up with a compromise condition which we’re suggesting that the Commission consider the improvements to be done for the purposes of advancing this rezoning request, is mainly to, to additional pavement with swales to take care of, you know, minimal drainage issues. And, if down the road, Shipman decides to coordinate the necessary improvements to have Milo Street dedicated to the County, then the, this Applicant would be required to participate in whatever it would, their pro rata share, to get Milo Street to those standards where the County would take it. HEAUKULANI: Commissioners, any other questions for Applicant, staff, Director Kanuha? Thank you, sir. You can be seated. We don’t have anyone signed up to testify. Is there anyone here that wants to testify on this matter? Seeing none, Commissioners, I’d like a motion to close public testimony, please. IKEDA: Move to close public testimony. 8 EXHIBIT A
