YUEN:Yeah just a comment. We know the situation is bad on Alii Drive. You can as Chris Lau said, you can drive if you want to get out of here you can drive up Laaloa, which is roughly a half mile south. And if you were just going to get out of the tsunami inundation area you can get up to a subdivision road thats out of the inundation are. And the County is working on a regular access, making Laaloa connect to Kuakini and being a regular way out of, a full mauka-makai from Kuakini to Alii Drive. And then the second one would be the Lako Street extension, which is just to the north of that purple point there at Holualoa Bay, which is also is a project that the County is actively pursuing and has done an EIS for. Im sorry an EA for in front of that of that project. So we are looking on ways to get people out. Finally well this is, theres a private subdivision road thats immediately adjacent to this. Just to the south of this property. It serves the Hoomalu Subdivision, which is a subdivision of 5 acre lots. Thats gated you wouldnt be able to drive it. Im not sure if the police or the first responders have a way of getting through there. It would probably be a good idea if they did but somebody wanting to walk or run out of in case of a locally generated tsunami will be able to go up that privateroad. GRAHAM:ThankyouCommissionerIwashita? IWASHITA:Youknowtodayis,whatwehavetodayandmyconcernisnotsomuch you know what there is today and what there is going to be in the next 5 years or whats already planned you know in place as it is. I think the concern is you know if we were looking as been suggested earlier right and that yours is but you know the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg in that large green area were looking on the map thats ultimately going to be developed right? And you know then therell be thousands of people now in this area that some consideration has to be in. I know Mr. Smith that you know yours is relatively speaking not a large development but again to echo Mr. Emlers concerns in the long run you know it, I think its legitimate to look at how this area is going to really be built out. And if in considering that theres going to be thousands of people along Alii Drive right? Hundreds if not thousands of people, then mauka- makai access has to be considered in each development. You know in a total big picture sense so that you know we dont run into or we dont create actually problems you know when we know. Its just a question of time. Its not if its going to happen its when its going to happen. So, you know we live on a very dynamic island and we need to be very cognizant of that. LAU:Yeah Commissioner Iwashita I believe that when the other properties come in for-. GRAHAM:Could you speak a little more closely in the mike. LAU:Oh Im sorry yeah. When the other properties come in for their Land Use Boundary amendments as well as rezoning. I think that at that point in time it would be a proper subject of inquiry of the Planning Commission as well as the County Council to ensure that there are other mauka-makai roadways. But I believe that our position today is that we believe that with the existing roadway network there is adequate emergency access. EXHIBIT 11
