Salazar is to allow them to use the driveway that we are proposing to place in at the intersection <br />with Awapuhi Street which is a much safer one for everyone. That apparently has not sat well <br />with them for some reason. As Maija indicated as an adjunct for supplement to the Background <br />Report, there is going to be a proposed, and we're working out with DOT now, an access that <br />Maija, maybe if you can maybe point to the actual site plan location? So, if you can see where <br />that roundabout is basically, that would be the proposed alternate access in case the driveway <br />itself actually gets flooded or is impassable for any reason. It would be a direct access for <br />Mr. Doi and Ms. Salazar to come out onto Kanoelehua while avoiding that driveway location. <br />One of the, one of the problems with respect to drainage is this. Is there's discussions about <br />trying to put a culvert underneath the driveway and concentrate the flow as it crosses Awapuhi, I <br />mean Kahaopea, but you can't do that. Basically, what the developer is proposing to do with the <br />respect to their development is something that FEMA requires, which is whatever water is <br />coming off of that property now, in location, volume, and velocity, has to be the same. You <br />cannot be changing drainage as it exits the property. What the developer will do is any water <br />that's generated on site from its development whether its buildings, parking locations, or <br />otherwise, needs to get dealt with through drywells. So, we're not adding any water to what <br />exists now, but we can't change what comes across the road. That's just a given that we cannot <br />change. We'd like to do that, but we no can. <br />So, in trying to come up with some options for the, for Ms. Salazar and Mr. Doi, we've given <br />them a very good option which is come across that driveway where it's going to be located, <br />come out onto Kahaopea, and that's going to be basically the safest, most appropriate way for <br />them to get in and out to their property. <br />One of the other things that I did want to talk about, too, is that when we talk about fair share, if <br />we take a look at Parks requirements for impacts for something like this Use Permit proposes, we <br />have residents who are elderly residents whose, whose lives and aging has occurred in <br />conjunction with parks development in the County. So, it's not like they're coming in from <br />somewhere else requiring park improvements. They are already probably going to be the prime, <br />the primary bulk of them is going to be existing residents. They don't use most of the park <br />facilities now, and there will be exercise at that kind of facility on site provided to them for their <br />needs that they need at this particular age sequence that they're at right now. Thank you. <br />CLARKSON: Yes, this brings up another question I have. I know we're talking to stuff that <br />relates probably more to the Special [sic] Permit application, but are the residents in this <br />proposed facility restricted to current residents of Hawaii County or the State of Hawaii? <br />YEH: I don't believe so, and I don't think you can do that. <br />CLARKSON: I wouldn't think you could either, but <br />YEH: Right. <br />CLARKSON: how, I'm just going to ask, how do we know that a significant fraction of the <br />people that would be living in this facility wouldn't be from out of State? <br />EXHIBIT A <br />12 <br />
