<br />RODILLAS, M.: Yeah, which states final subdivision approval for the development shall be <br />secured within five years—oh, I’m sorry, not that part, but the second sentence. The final <br />subdivision map shall include the 15-foot future road widening along ʽĀkala Road. We’re just <br />asking that the second sentence be removed. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Okay, so except for the second sentence in proposed Condition of Approval D <br />as in dog, you’re—youʽre okay with everything else? <br /> <br />RODILLAS, M.: Yes, that’s correct. <br /> <br />RODILLAS, F.: Yes, and for information, we saw the requirements that are put forward by the <br />Department of Water Supply, and we’re able to meet those requirements. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Fair enough. Daryn? <br /> <br />ARAI: Just a brief statement just to provide proper context to all of this. As you may well be <br />aware, when we craft, when the Planning Director crafts his recommendation on any particular <br />matter, we try to do it and/or accomplish it in a manner consistent with plans, policies, and <br />standards established by the County. <br /> <br />In this particular area, ʽĀkala Road is 30 feet wide, the right-of-way. That is substandard. The <br />minimum right-of-way for an agricultural roadway is 50 feet, five-zero, and ʽĀkala Road as <br />currently designated on the General Plan and on the, I believe, the City of Hilo District Zone <br />Map, as a collector road because it’s intended to connect—connect all the way up to—I just <br />lost— <br /> <br />DELA CRUZ: ʽĀkōlea. <br /> <br />ARAI: ʽĀkōlea Road. No, I’m sorry, not ʽĀkōlea Road— <br /> <br />RODILLAS, M.: Waiānuenue. <br /> <br />ARAI: I just lost the name of the road that does the loop—I’m sorry, and I live in Hilo. Go <br />figure. Anyway, but it is intended to be a collector street. A collector street by County standards <br />is minimum 60 feet of width, six-zero. <br /> <br />So, with these designations in place, we are compelled to apply the applicable standards <br />whenever a Change of Zone request comes in, keeping in mind that the Applicant is requesting <br />the privilege of a Change of Zone that will allow for further subdivision in this particular area. <br /> <br />So, it is simply a recommendation based on the standards that we, as a department, are <br />compelled to look at and apply, but ultimately because it now rests with the Planning <br />Commission, ultimately with the final decision by the County Council, each body can make its <br />own determination as to what they deem to be appropriate and in compliance with the rules and <br />regulations for a Change of Zone. <br /> <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
