The other option is, I think as Jeff had pointed out, we provided this kind of “s” shaped access <br />here from this second parcel that we acquired. That provides a little closer access for trailered <br />boats, larger kayaks. It just gives, you know, two opportunities for them to launch from. <br />KERN: So they will actually be able to pull up to the water and drop the tail of the boat in there <br />or just get pretty close? <br />KOMATA: Well, speaking to kayaks, they can get close. The first access directly off of Banyan <br />Drive we’re providing a gate there. The gate would be locked. But it’s there to provide access <br />for anyone that needs to launch or retrieve larger boats associated, probably with the boats that <br />are moored out there. But also it’s something that we’re discussing administratively in the <br />Department how we’re going to provide keys and give access to people that require that kind of <br />access. <br />There would be, probably a, well, we anticipate there being a process where people could request <br />the key if they wanted to do any kind of special launching or activity on the beach. So that <br />opportunity does exist. <br />KERN: Great. Thank you very much. Looks great, I think. <br />WOODWARD: All right. Commissioner Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA: Across from this park there’s that sailboat, that little sailboat thing, the Rotary did. <br />What, don’t they have access? They wouldn’t have a small boat access from there? <br />KOMATA: There is a pre-existing small boat launch area that was improved a long time ago <br />when the Rotary Club worked with the Department of Parks and Recreation to enhance that <br />beach park. It’s a Kuhio Kalanianaole Beach park. We didn’t do any major improvements to <br />that. We didn’t, there wasn’t time to get the permits. And that’s something that I believe we had <br />discussed with some of the boating community as wanting to pursue at some future time, <br />developing a more formal launching area. Leonard, you have anything? <br />IWASHITA: I guess what I’m thinking is that, you know, if you really want to maximize the <br />beach use on this side and, you know, I guess better to have the launch facility on the other side. <br />BISEL: Right, I think ultimately that was, that would be our long-term goal. Some of the <br />concerns that we heard from the boating community was that that particular launch was in <br />disrepair and didn’t really lend itself to getting out into the ocean. And so at this last public <br />meeting that we held we made some revisions to the current site plan that you see up on the wall <br />right now to allow for, for the access that was requested. And, you know, the access from Reeds <br />Bay may or may not be revisited once that launch on the other side is improved. <br />WOODWARD: All right.
