there used to be facilities before and so the State doesn’t prov -, you know, they don’t provide
<br />like Ala Wai Harbor and those places, right, where they provide for those facilities. So -.
<br />KOMATA: Yeah, all the beach side improvements are County, County improvements. The
<br />State manages the moor, mooring spots out there, but they haven’t contributed anything to the
<br />enhancement of this project, in this project or prior to that.
<br />IWASHITA: And I guess the point, the point was that, I guess historically the State doesn’t have
<br />anything because historically there were some facilities that were, you know, the County had
<br />there. So, you know, and I guess I’m not a boater but it makes, you know -. I guess my concern
<br />would be you moor there, you come in your little dinghy, whatever they have, you know to get to
<br />shore, right, and they need to have that access, and especially if in a storm situation where Civil
<br />Defense is telling you, you know, go down and secure your boat, right? And if the place is
<br />locked how you’re going to do that?
<br />KOMATA: Right, and that’s where we, I had mentioned earlier about coming up with the
<br />system that anyone who is a licensed, is licensed to moor in Reeds Bay should have a key to any
<br />gate that we do install. So they would have access any time they need it.
<br />IWASHITA: Okay.
<br />KOMATA: The, you know, just to add to that, DLNR was involved in the EA process. They
<br />were consulted throughout the progression of the project. So that’s, I think, I believe, that’s how
<br />that discussion started along with one of the individuals that does moor in Reeds Bay. So that’s
<br />how that discussion started.
<br />IWASHITA: And then my other point, well, my other concern was about, you know, the, the
<br />accuracy of the, where the shoreline is and the high wash of the waves and how some of these
<br />proposed improvements might be inundated as you saw, you know, like at Kahaluu Park, the
<br />example you just talked about how, you know, what you did was inundated by high waves. So -.
<br />KOMATA: Yeah, the lines, the lines shown on that, on the maps that you guys have, are the
<br />proposed certified shoreline and the 40-foot setback which is based, you know, as an offset from
<br />that line. The certified shoreline will be whatever the State Surveyor approves, you know,
<br />through their process, as well as DLNR. So what we had asked for was some flexibility on -.
<br />Depending on where that line is, you know, we’re more than willing to adjust the plans to
<br />accommodate any changes in that line that’s shown on the plan.
<br />IWASHITA: Okay, so in terms of where the actual, ultimately, where the walkway and so forth
<br />will be set, it would depend upon the, some future work that’s supposed to be more accurate on
<br />locating where the high wash of the waves or where storm surge would get to?
<br />KOMATA: Right. And in the design process we have to rely on the expertise on the surveyor
<br />that’s part of our consultant team. So he set that line. It’s a matter of him proposing it to the
<br />State Surveyor’s Office and DLNR, having them certify it. They can agree, disagree, they can
<br />move it in one way or the other based on site photos, site visitations. So, you know, we’re
