on the eastern two parcels. The western two par the western parcel is showing, again, the existing single-family dwellings. Access to those dwellings is off of Kekuanao`a Street; however, when the open area, visitor's area, is developed, access would be from Hinano Street, and the same with the proposed production facility access would have to be off of Laukapu Street. Here's some photographs of the intersection of Laukapu and Kekuanao`a. Again, this is roughly where that production facility would be built. As you can see, it's vacant right now. From the other side here is the intersection of Hinano and Kekuanao`a, and here are the two existing single-family dwellings that will be removed in order to allow for the visitor's area. Just views of Kekuanao`a Street looking west with the subject parcels on the right hand side, and then Kekuanao`a Street looking east with the subject parcels on the left hand side. So, you know, the Applicant in their—in their application letter, and that's Exhibit 1, proposed some condition language, and I'm just gonna summarize that briefly for you. Condition C which was a construction condition, the Applicant asked for a five-year time extension to obtain Final Plan Approval and a time extension to complete construction within three years the date of that Final Plan Approval. They also, in Condition D, asked to remove the five-year deadline to subdivide and dedicate future road widening strips to the County, and to instead time those actions with the respective development of the parcels abutting the street as that occurs. The Applicant also requested to require dedication of future road widening strips prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. For Condition E, to clarify timing of the required full roadway improvements to the project's frontage along Kekuanao`a and Laukapu Streets, the Applicant is requesting that those improvements be timed in conjunction with the development of parcels abutting those streets, and that the completion of improvements be required prior to occupancy permits for the proposed development. And then finally Condition F, again, to clarify the timing of the required corner radius improvements at those intersections, the Applicant is requesting that those improvements be timed in conjunction with the development of parcels abutting those streets. There was no proposed compliance deadline in the proposed language that the Applicant put forth. So, we looked at those, that proposed language for those conditions, and we—we suggested some other language just in order to be consistent with our current standard condition language. And, for Condition C, instead of talking about Final Plan Approval within five years and then three years after that construction, we just said why don't we give the Applicant eight years from the effective date of the ordinance in order to get Final Plan Approval and complete construction. Again, it's consistent with our practice, our standard condition language, and also easier for us as the Planning Department to track for condition compliance as well as the Applicant. EXHIBIT B 3
