yeah, it's elevated, it was already approved 20 years ago, it's four feet off the ground. He goes
<br /> okay. And I said, is there any note you need me to give to the Planning Commission when I talk
<br /> to them, like I just don't know what to tell them except for this is a non-issue. He said, let me
<br /> get back to you. That was about, that was in January. And so I've called and left voicemails
<br /> ever since then. I just assume no news was good news or non-issue.
<br /> So just to further the point, the top right image shows the portion of the ashram being considered
<br /> for the as-built permit dotted. You can see that the tributary itself does not intersect this portion
<br /> that's under consideration. Again,just another thing that I told Bryce and Dion, and neither of
<br /> them, they both said, yeah, that makes total sense.
<br /> But in any case, we go down to the bottom left image. This is the subdivision map that was used
<br /> I believe in sort of the Planning Commission's report that said, hey, it looks like your building is
<br /> in this tributary. That,that depiction of the tributary is significantly different than the depiction
<br /> given by the DLNR that we got online; you can see how it's like a wider swath than the DLNR's
<br /> like a thin line. Again, though, it's all Zone X, and there is just no way to get around that. And
<br /> so even when the tributary is larger, it just doesn't have an effect.
<br /> And then, last but not least is the bottom right picture. Finally, when I was zooming out to go
<br /> like, what does a real floodplain look like, what are people talking when they say you can't build
<br /> in a floodplain? You look across the street at Ho`omaluhia, and I go, oh, that's the kind of thing
<br /> that I was expecting to see. You see like a real legit floodplain with zoned AE and AEF that
<br /> actually have like a base flood elevation that you have to keep in consideration when you are
<br /> building, and it says obviously AE and AEF. You have to keep those areas free of
<br /> encroachments so that the one percent annual chance of flood can be carried through, right?
<br /> So those things just kept pointing us towards we don't understand what the floodplain issue
<br /> could be. Again, if it was already approved for the main house the way it was built 20 years ago
<br /> and it went right through the center of it, how could this affect the as-built portion, which it does
<br /> not touch, considering that this is actually a tributary and not an AE or AEF floodplain? So that
<br /> was what I came up with.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Okay, thanks.
<br /> EHINGER: Thanks.
<br /> F. STONE: Okay, if we stay on the SMA, the only other thing we wanted to know about No. 9,
<br /> which is the time, time extensions, and what is included within that. And we became more
<br /> curious about that, considering the previous applicant. And so, does that include, does that,
<br /> No. 9,the initial extension, is it, extensions for the permit, does that include the Judd Trail
<br /> easement and Ho`omalu? Because it's already been over 15 years on the Judd Trail, and we
<br /> don't think that Candace had told us, from DLNR, that they didn't think that they would finish
<br /> that recommendation within a year, and so that, nothing we can do about that. So we want to
<br /> make sure that easements are not part of that. We do have, we have filed a claim for easement
<br /> on Ho`omalu. It's in our title insurance that we have easement for ingress, egress, over and
<br /> across, so both sides of Ho`omalu, but we've been working on that already six months. It takes a
<br /> 15
