Dear Mr. Fuke:
Subject Kanoelehua Avenue Access Request
Matsuno Enterprises, Ltd., TMK: 2-2-40: 14 and 69
This updates what was discussed at the September 4, 2001 meeting with Mr. Glenn Hashimoto of
Matsuno Enterprises, Mr. Ray Nakamura of Imata and Associates, Mr. Sidney Fuke of Sidney
Fuke Planning Consultant, Robert Taira and me.
The State Department of Transportation (DOT), Highways Division will allow, under certain
conditions, direct access to Kanoelehua Avenue from the subject property. These conditions
include: 1) that the direct access be a right-in/right-out design, 2) that the direct access be located
as far as possible to the Volcano side of the property, 3) that the right-turn deceleration lane into
Puainako Street from Kanoelehua Avenue be extended, 4) that aright-turn deceleration lane on
Kanoelehua Avenue into the development be provided, 5) that the left-turn from Puainako Street
into the development be prohibited, 6) that the development's Puainako access be right-in/right-
out only, 7) that the Puainako access be located as far as possible away from Kanoelehua
Avenue, 8) that the traffic controls, i.e. possible signs and pavement markings, on Kanoelehua
Avenue be provided to prohibit traffic exiting the development from crossing Kanoelehua
Avenue to head west on Puainako, and 9) that other engineering and design parameters be
considered.
As a result of a subsequent communication between the DOT in Honolulu and Matsuno
representatives, the following three (3) additional conditions were added:

1. Matsuno Enterprises-will be subject to a fee for the enhanced value of the property
due to the new Kanoelehua access.
2. A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) for the development will be required.
Should the TIAR indicate that the development contributes to the need for future
improvements to the Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue Intersection, Matsuno
Enterprises will pay its fair share for the improvements.
3. Matsuno Enterprises will be responsible for the cost of all traffic control
adjustments needed as a result of granting of the Kanoelehua access.
Please forward these comments to Mr. Christopher Yuen of the County of Hawaii Planning
Department.
Call me at 933-8866 should you need additional information.
Very truly yours,
^l I-t~~
