protocols, and any other related improvements or operational details that go along with that. So, in this diagram here, we can see the parking area, which is just off of the entry cul-de-sac. This is a four-stall parking area, which then leads to a ten-foot wide path that will take people down to the shoreline. From there, the public will be able to traverse the shoreline either via the Jeep trail or along the ala loa coastal trail. The applicant has proposed an amendment that—we had stated that the applicant shall provide no less than four onsite public access stalls the applicant has proposed an amendment to that to add at the end of that sentence that those stalls be located adjacent to the northern access cul-de-sac along with a ten-foot wide pedestrian access pathway from these stalls to the shoreline. The Director has also proposed some additional conditions. These are to ensure that we work to preserve the shoreline setback area and minimize impacts that not from development but that can occur from landscaping, from minor projects that the applicants, you know, that the homeowners may do based on our previous experience; we know that when a home is developed, the single-family residence is built, that there is subsequent minor development that goes on and on and on, you know, as the property gets used. So we wanted to make sure that no land alteration, grubbing, landscaping, anything like that would occur in the shoreline setback area without, of course, securing a prior written determination from the Director and a shoreline setback variance from the Planning Commission. Second was to towards the development of the subject property shall be completed in a manner that is substantially representative of plans and details provided; so what we read in the Final Environmental Assessment, the rezone application and SMA application, which are all one document essentially, that we wanted to ensure that the, what was stated there, as far as BMPs, mitigation strategies, get included into this project, and then, any substantial deviation from what is represented would require actual amendments. So we are expecting that, those statements of best management practices get adhered to during the project development. So, at this time, I'm going to give you the Planning Director's recommendation. Number one is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the Change of Zone application, REZ 19-000237, that the Planning Director recommends approval of Special Management Area Use Permit, SMA 19-000073, and that the Planning Director recommends approval of the revocation of Special Management Area Use Permit No. 379, which is attached to the project already. And you should have seen in the exhibits a letter from the applicant stating that they accept the revocation, if, of course, this rezone and SMA go through. Questions? UNGER: Any questions from the Commissioners? CARR SMITH: Yes, I have one. Is the shoreline setback variance, an application, that will come later? ROY: The shoreline setback variance is only if they conduct work. The applicant has stated over and over again that they wish to remain 100 to 150 feet away from the shoreline. So,the shoreline setback area is essentially from the certified shoreline into 40 feet, so, but we did put that condition, because by law they are allowed to apply for that, but it's not part of this 4 EXHIBIT B
