more talking about the internal roadway system and what type of design features or intersection improvements would be needed as part of the additional phases. So I, I’m in agreement with removing the more regional impact language from that. They did say that they’d like the Planning Department and the Director to kind of be the point person in consultation with Public Works and Department of Transportation, so I believe that this language keeps that as is and just adds the language from their proposed condition that says, “if warranted by a significant change in circumstances or as may be required by the Department of Public Works during the design and review of construction plans for future road segments,” I think that captures it. If at the time the roadway designs come in and there is a need for further study to determine what type of work needs to be done on roadway or intersection segments, then there will be an opportunity to capture that. And the Director also would have an opportunity to kind of look at the overall big picture, should anything come out, and kind of work with that as well. So I’m okay with it. Director Yee? YEE: Michael Yee, Planning Director. Yes, I’ll confirm that the Planning Department is fine with this revision. MOORE: And just, you know, I just want to point out, too, you know, this is all being going at the last minute; I cannot say how much we really appreciate this coordination, openness, talking to us, letting us share our concerns, listening. So whatever happens, I just want to say we really appreciate how this conversation has been going on. SMITH: Maybe I can just make an additional comment. You know, the email that was attached to the Director’s letter that included comments from Aaron Takaba, Traffic Division, and Natalie Whitworth, Engineering Division, both of them were not in the position when we went with the road circulation plan seven years ago with Ki Emler and Ron Thiel, their predecessors at Engineering Division and Traffic Division; they may not be aware that those Kamanu Street plans were signed off on; they may not be aware of the road circulation plan and the horizontal and geometric design that was approved by Engineering Division that allowed us to do a lot of the grading that’s underway there; Ki instituted some roadway setbacks in addition. So a lot of the work that we are proceeding with design is kind of pre-approved, so that we could go ahead and get Kamanu Street approved, so that we could proceed with Kanalani North and South Access. Because if you don’t have your horizontal and geometric controls and you are going to excavate out the land that we are excavating right now, and then you want to build the road, then you have to go fill it all. So a lot of this precedes their involvement of those two Divisions. MOORE: What’s the width of South Access Road between Kanalani \[inaudible\]? SMITH: Yeah, the width at the traffic signal right now is 105 feet, so where the traffic signal is for South Access, Goodfellow built it a little bit bigger than the plan showed, so our requirement is an 84-foot right of way, it’s actually 104, so we are going to do a transition and get up to the 84-foot right of way when we get to Kanalani and South Access Road. South Access up to Kamanu is 80 feet. All the other roads are 60-foot right of way. Kamanu has a ten-foot wide widening setback, and South Access has a ten-foot wide widening setback. 12 EXHIBIT B
