now. 1.1 is more realistic for sea level rise in this area and so because of the bay, the river, the inundation is minimal because there's again a small little rise where this property is located. Then I also share here is the tsunami map for Hilo Bay you could see the subject properties kind of right in the middle here but the mapper kind of extends all the way out kind of precariously goes around the airport. So, there's a lot of development that's within that already existing area all along there that would have to be taken into account tsunami evacuation. Here's the aerial of the site so, any work that would be done on the property would require an SMA review so they'd have to go through a number of reviewsto conduct any development or construction but just know that this area would be.the place that would be inundatedwwould be kind of along the backside of the property due to sea level rise and passive flooding too also would be more issues and would just really be along that backside there. So I jusvanted to share that information for the Commissioners. KERN: Mr. Chair if I may? REPLOGLE: Thank you Alex. Yes,please go ahead. KERN: Just so that the Commission knows this isn't exactly to this application but in general anything along the coast we are certainly looking-at=the impacts of sea level rises it's a consideration that we're taking in on all applications at a ver=yhigh level, a very serious level it's a real thing. So,we are really workingon doing that,and I think we're really blessed also to have Alex Roy who actually worked with the DLNR Officeof Conservation and Coastal Lands (OCCL) for many years So-bunging his knowledge epth of experience in here has `te certainly added to thea w and e're grateful that andaim.d'certainly something that we are looking at on all coastal type properties. Thankyou. - REPLOGLE: Thank you Zendo Fellow_Commissioners anything else? LIN Raised hand. REPLOGLE=Yes, Mr. Lin?`_== _- LIN: Thank you Chair. Just a cur=ious question, has there been an application to rezone this property in the past?_Just from_thehistory that Garth provided the Yamanaka's have been part of this property since they change ptownership. So, I'm just curious why now or has there been any other attempts to rezone thiproperty? V. YAMANAKA: Well I can tell you that we haven't had any other rezoning application. We always had a very good working relationship with Hilo Redevelopment Agency. We had a broad-based support from I think an understanding from government and Downtown community about our place and so this whole thing about the lapsing of the ordinance that allowed us to use the property in an industrial way under the old Hilo Iron Works uses. I think to some extent we never anticipated that we would have to come for rezoning but now that we need it that's why the initial application. We have not had an application before. 10 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
