Hi Maija,
Thank you. The only concern we have is condition G. The removal of the existing 10 ft wide "No
Vehicular& Planting Screen" easement shall only be at that one commercial entrance and not the
entire 10 ft wide "No Vehicluar & Planting Screen" easement.
Thank you,
Harry

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Request attendance at Leeward Planning Commission meeting
Aloha Harry and Jane,
We are not able to change the Planning Commission meeting date from August 9th and understand
that a representative from DOT will not be able to attend. Attached is the applicant's response to
DOT's latest memo (also attached) for the project. It would be helpful if DOT could provide a written
response to the applicant's response so that the Planning Commission can understand if DOT has
any concerns that cannot be addressed at the time of construction plan review or issuance of a
permit for access to the DOT highway. The Planning Director is recommending the following 4
conditions be added to the rezone ordinance for the project to address the concerns that DOT has
raised so far. Please let me know if you do not believe these conditions are adequate to address
DOT's concerns or if additional conditions are needed.
Thank you,
Maija Jackson
D. Final Subdivision Approval shall be secured within ten(10)years from the
effective date of this ordinance.Plans submitted for subdivision approval shall
include the existing 10-fact-wide future road widening strip along the subject
property's Mamalahoa Highway frontage.
E. Prior to issuance of Final Plan Approval for any use in the CN-zoned area,the
Applicant shall submit an updated traffic impact analysis report(TIAR),to be
reviewed and approved by the State Department of Transportation. The updated
TIAR shall include,but not be limited to,an evaluation of whether highway
improvements should be required as a result of anticipated traffic generated by the
development. If there are traffic impacts attributable to the development,the
Applicant shall be required to provide appropriate traffic mitigation
improvements at no cost to the State.
F. Access to Mamalahoa Highway shall meet with the requirements of the State
Department of Transportation.
G. Should the State Department of Transportation approve access to the CN-zoned
lands from Mamalahoa Highway,the Applicant shall submit plans for subdivision
approval showing removal of the existing 1 0-foot-wide"No Vehicular Access&
Planting Screen"easement along the subject property's Mamalahoa Highway
frontage.
