meaning ground disturbance, but obviously effect can extend beyond ground disturbance by introducing elements that are outside that can alter the aesthetic of a property. So, I would argue that although the direct effect is limited to the project area, was there consideration of a larger area of potential effect for indirect effects? ROY: Yes, we take into account impacts to the surrounding area and not just the areas where direct ground impacts will occur because of the sites being outside of the project area behind a wall, ahupua`a wall, we had determined that there would be limited impact or potential impact to those sites. The applicant may be able to address more specifically their preservation measures during construction. VITOUSEK: Alex, were you aware of the preservation plan that exists for these sites? ROY: Not necessarily, no. Only what was presented in the EA and the SMA application. VITOUSEK: Yeah, the EA mentions the fact that there is a preservation plan for these sites, but it doesn't identify what the preservation measures are for each of the sites. And I don't have a copy of that. I know we've got Mr. Rechtman, oh, he's not, he's not here now, but Lokelani Brandt from Rechtman's office, I know they prepared the preservation plan circa 2006. Would anybody like to comment on what preservation measures exist for site 21220 and 21219? BRANDT: As far as site 21219, the 21219, the spring well furo, and the ku`ula, I don't have that right now, but I can, give me a minute and I can go and track that stuff down. With respect to site 21218, the ahupua`a boundary wall, that iwi `aina that's on the south side of the bathroom, is part of the preservation measures that's part of the La`aloa Beach Park preservation plan, that wall is supposed to be realigned as part of the La`aloa site project. But it's not being included in this project itself. VITOUSEK: My understanding was that it was included in this project that that wall would be relocated as part of this project. Is that correct? BRANDT: From my understanding it's the relocation of the wall to the proper boundary is going to take place with the implementation of the preservation plan for the La`aloa Park site. Not with this one. TERRY: Chairman Vitousek, I wanted to clarify that. That's not part of this project. This project is restricted to the to the subject TMKs that were presented in the application. And, we did consider effects to all surrounding areas, not just historic properties, and there's no physical effects that can occur, the restroom has been downsized and made more attractive, and will present less of an issue, not more of an issue. There are no adverse impacts to those sites. VITOUSEK: So, I'll refer you to page 17 of the SMA Use Permit that states, "Department plans to realign the wall to its original location with the reconstruction stylistically matching the more mauka alignment of the same wall that still exists on the eastern side of Alii Drive." TERRY: That's absolutely true. 12 EXHIBIT C
