of the existing Pakaula Road which will intersect with the Airport Access Road at the relocated Dairy Road intersection. The anticipated time frame for the MBPII is for the initiation of construction of subdivision improvements in 2011. While there is ongoing coordination between HDOT and A&B for regional roadway improvements and on the previously noted condition for A&B regarding the landscaping for the areas adjacent to the Airport Access Road, the proposed roadway and the MBPII are independent projects. Cumulatively, the Airport Access Road and the roadway improvements associated with the MBPII will enhance and improve the overall functionality of the area roadways and thus facilitate the flow of vehicles to and from the Kahului Airport as well as the surrounding light industrial areas. Secondary impacts are those which have the potential to occur later in time or farther in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. They can be viewed as actions of others that are taken because of the presence of the project. Secondary impacts from highway projects, for example, can occur because they can induce development by removing one of the impediments to growth; that is, transportation access. The proposed proj ect is not considered a generating component for population, and there are no foreseeable secondary impacts associated with the proposed project. The proposed project has been designed so as to place the least possible burden on the environment and existing infrastructure.
