} i t 3 i 3 house lots mauka of the ala loa/jeep road which constrains potential homes to areas higher than 40 feet asl, and generally above 50 feet asl. Increased gulch flow and runoff could also be a concern, and as such, all culverts within the subdivision would be 3 obligated by CC&R's to be oversized to accommodate the 100-year storm recurrence interval (RI), rather than the required 50-year RI in order to account for future increases to storm runoff amounts. i 3 27. Recreational Resources and Public Access: Site reconnaissance indicates that the property is lightly used by fishermen, shellfish gatherers, and hikers. Mauka to makai vehicular access is currently available on the State parcel adjacent to and north of the subject property. Mauka-makai and lateral shoreline pedestrian public access is available on the Kohala Kai subdivision, which is located south and adjacent to the subject property. There are a few lateral "spurs" of vehicular accesses across the subject 3 property, however, only a six (6) foot wide lateral public access easement along the shoreline is shown on the Land Court Map for the property. In this area, the planned 3 i development of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail (NHT) is a potential recreational 3 3 resource for Kohala. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the development of the Ala Kahakai NHT indicated the preferred alternative to the establishment of the trail would be based on the Ahupua'a Trail System in which multiple trail alignments are integral to land use and stewardship. On public lands, and where landowners wish it, the Ala Kahakai NHT could include inland portions of the ala loa (historic trail) that run lateral to the shoreline. Maps contained with the EIS are general; however, they clearly indicate a possible lateral trail passing through the subject property. Discussions with the National Park Service (NPS) and community members indicates that the ala loa would be the favored location of the Ala Kahakai NHT on the project parcel. The owner of the 3 subject property proposes that mauka-makai access to both the existing 6-foot wide lateral public access easement along the shoreline, and the future Ala Kahakai NHT be from a proposed 4-stall public access parking lot near the property boundary with the i Highway. The parking area, which would be open approximately from sunrise to sunset, would access a new $00-foot long, 10-foot wide mauka-makai pedestrian trail through 3 the project parcel. No direct vehicular access to the shoreline will be allowed, either by 11 3 i
