This is an aerial photo. You’ll be able to see the sandy area; and then again you can see the different boats moored out in the bay there. The applicant is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow the redevelopment and improvement to Reeds Bay Beach Park. The project will be conducted in two phases. This SMA permit is only for Phase I, the Phase I portion of the project. The project, Phase I of the project will consist of a comfort station with restrooms, shower area and storage area. There will be one or two approximately 12-foot by 12-foot, 140 square foot, pavilions, six picnic tables, including three that are ADA accessible, walkways, and low seat walls, drinking fountains and trash receptacles, bike racks, limited trailer kayak access, and landscaping which will include the removal of selected trees, and replacement and additions with native or Polynesian coastal species. This is the master plant that was submitted by the applicant. If you’ll look on the bottom portion of the map you’ll see alternative, Alternative B2 which is a revised master plan from the original submittal back in 2007. The applicant had originally submitted the Special Management Area Use Permit for this application. When the signs went up concerning the application, there were concerns from the public. The applicant had deferred the application to meet with the public and come up with some possible solutions to be able to work out some disagreements with the project. So this is a result of the collaboration with the public. On there, on the master plan you’re going to see the new trees that will be in the area. It’s difficult to see but there’s outlines of certain trees that will be removed. There are picnic tables, a pavilion in this particular area. The comfort station is in this area. And this particular master plan also shows Phase II portion which is located on the adjacent property to the left. It’s similar to Phase I. One of the big differences is that there’s going to be a 51-stall paved parking area for the public. One of the, a big issue regarding this application is the fact that the proposal will restrict parking on the beach and require parking to be either along the roadway or, at this time, on the gravelled area on the adjacent parking area. This is a demolition plan. This identifies more clearly the selected trees that will be removed with this application. These are identified with the circle and an x. So it kind of, and we’ve recently submitted that to the Commission for their review in case there’s any issues regarding this matter. Some site photos of the particular area. This one is from a helicopter, I’m sorry, so you can see Reeds Bay in this area, again, the boats moored out there, the parking area on the adjacent property. This is a site photo looking towards the north. You can see the beach area. Again, vehicles parking on the beach, sidewalk, and the roadway. This is looking to the south in the opposite direction. This kind of gives you an idea on the width of the roadway as well as, again, parking on the beach area. And this is the area generally where that comfort station will be located. The Planning Department’s recommendation is that this request be approved with conditions. In regards to submittals, again, the only submittal that has come in since then is the demolition plan that has been submitted to the Planning Commission. Are there any questions?
