bottom left, we see a view of the proposed church location looking makai toward the ocean and
<br />then on the bottom right. This is generally looking eastward toward the drainageway, and this is
<br />just to give you a sense. There were some letters of opposition that we received back in 2018 by
<br />folks who lived in the subdivision across the drainageway. Concerns about traffic, concerns
<br />about noise and the like. We looked at this. We looked at the proposed location of the church
<br />and the distance away from the property line, the drainageway. There is vegetation on either side
<br />and a berm on this side of the church property so outside of our normal conditions for
<br />landscaping and the like, we didn't think any additional conditions were necessary to deal with
<br />noise and view issues. And, we haven't heard back from those same folks who had opposition
<br />earlier when they sent out their second notice for hearing.
<br />The Director is approving, or pardon me, recommending approval of the Use Permit request with
<br />conditions. In our conversations, the Director wanted me to just point out whereas he is
<br />supportive of the application, he just wanted to let the Commission know that there are going to
<br />be significant improvements, infrastructure that are going to be required to make this site work.
<br />That's extending a water line from the highway, the Fire Department access road that we spoke
<br />about, the catchment tanks for fire suppression and, you know, kind of getting the Fire
<br />Department to approve all that engineering. So, in conversation with the Applicant, we were
<br />very clear up front that there were going to be significant investment that would need to be made,
<br />and they submitted to us in writing an indication that they understood and that they were willing
<br />to make those investments to make this work.
<br />With that, I'll end my presentation, and I'm happy to answer any questions the Commission may
<br />have.
<br />CLARKSON: Any questions for staff from the Commission?
<br />RAFFIPIY: I have a question, Mr. Chairman. I know you kind of point in the general directions
<br />where the, on the site map, where the water tanks are going to be, and I'm reading these, the
<br />background information, so I understand there's going to be non -potable water and potable
<br />water. So, are we talking about two tanks here?
<br />KAY: There's actually three tanks. There are two 20,000 -gallon rainwater catchment tanks.
<br />They are going to be set aside for non -potable water and water suppression, oh, pardon me, fire
<br />suppression purposes. The other thank is going to be a sealed, food -grade tank for potable water,
<br />for mainly for the certified kitchen. And, then, they'll have, you know, on average of one unit of
<br />water coming down from the highway for potable uses as well. So, basically, another condition
<br />of approval in here is going to require water calculations for their proposed usage. So, what
<br />that's going to do is indicate beyond—if the use, required use is beyond that 400 gallons a day,
<br />then they'll have to supplement it with other non -potable uses as well as the Fire Department is
<br />going to chime in and say you need a certain amount of water for fire suppression. So, I believe
<br />that's what the rainwater catchment tanks are for.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Right, so I see that the water tank, the proposed water tanks are right down below,
<br />down right. So, when you say fire suppression, is that for the Fire Department or is that like fire
<br />system, fire sprinkling system in the building.
