L. MCMICHAEL: Hello? <br /> JACKSON: Are you back? Okay. <br /> L. MCMICHAEL: yes. <br /> JACKSON: Okay, Sorry about that. <br /> L. MCMICHAEL: Okay, majority of the public parking is mauka of Alii Drive, right now <br /> people park at the Kipapa Park and have to cross the street to use the bathroom or go to the <br /> beach. So, if they are worried about it maybe we need the flashing lights at the crosswalk that <br /> already exists there. Not sure, but Page 9 of the recommendation "relocating the comfort station <br /> from its existing location to a position mauka of Alii Drive is considered to be the most <br /> culturally appropriate way of mitigating the potential for adverse cultural impacts". Per Curtis <br /> Tyler, he said it was hewa from a cultural significance that the area that this "—" is so close to a <br /> puna wai. A place traditionally used to obtain drinking water. Please leave the trees, the leaves <br /> are like a sponge holding the beach from further erosion and preserve the natural beauty of our <br /> coastline. Due to the climate change, we have to plant even more trees to protect our wahi pana. <br /> Sea level is raising and Alii Drive is at sea level already. Moving the current comfort station <br /> slightly mauka is not far enough from the ocean plus if this were a private developer building <br /> such a proximity to the shoreline it would never be allowed. A toilet and a shower on a white <br /> sand beach. This is not la`aloa, la`aloa means very sacred. So,please protect it. Thank you. <br /> VITOUSEK: Thank you very much. Are there any questions. I just want to say Aloha to <br /> Commissioner Yates who've joined us. <br /> YATES: Good morning. <br /> VITOUSEK: Are there any questions from the last 2, I should had asked the questions after the <br /> first but, Commissioners any questions?

MCMICHAEL: No, she's not here. <br /> VITOUSEK: No, okay. Next up is Maki Morinoue? <br /> M. MORINOUE: Aloha, Leeward Planning Committee. Let's see I'm here to give my strong <br /> urgent ask — <br /> VITOUSEK: Sorry, would you please state your name and the town you live in. <br /> 5 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
