Recommended actions are as follows: easements, memoranda of understanding, purchasing of affected lots, including linear parks, using Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources funding to create parks. • Discuss suggested alternative CL's should those presently recommended are not viable — discussed this as main point of process. Suggestions are prioritized. There are more than one connectivity location possible for areas recommended so if one does not work for some reason, implementers can move to another location on the route. • Update on meeting schedule with the following to gain support for connectivity implementation: will occur when know how we can use their support o Representative Gabbard o Senator Schatz o Senator Lorraine Inouye, State Senate Transportation Chair New Business: • Open Discussion on Topics of Concern to CERS members and others in attendance Stephanie Bath recommended once again, 1) staggering connectivity locations which is acceptable by residents and 2) having more than one connectivity location between subdivisions to eliminate one area being heavily impacted. Communication No. 2016-7 This is especially important for connections between Hawaiian Acres and Orchidland so all the traffic does not empty onto just Pohaku or Orchidland Drive. Patrice McDonald recommended the connection between Fern Acres and Hawaiian Acres be from Rose Street to Road 1 (Uhini Ana Rd) as there are more people in the upper half of Hawaiian Acres to be served. She also asked that (Road C) Alula Rd be paved across Hawaiian Acres with Alula connecting to 40th in Orchidland allowing residents to exit to Highway 130 through Pohaku or Orchidland Drives. Next Meeting: March 22, 2016, Keaau Community Center, Remaining Schedule for 2016: 4/26, 5/24, 6/28, 7/26, 8/23, 9/27, 10/25, 11/22, 12/27 or as notified. Adjournment: 3:30 p.m.
