that there is some consistency in that there would beadequate water supply for this project without impacting the water supplies of the neighbors. Thank you for the chance to comment. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Ms. Scott. Any questions for Ms. Scott? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Could I just direct a question to Mr. Darrow in regard to your testimony, which is -. I think drainage issues are a big thing that were all considering and I know the intervenors before were concerned about that. Jeff, could you just give us a little presentation on, show us on the map? We read in our documentation about the Waiaha Drainage way and the Waiaha Splitflow No. 2 and all. Can you just show us whats involved with those and where they are? DARROW:Well, to let you know right off the bat, Im not an expert in these fields.Butinregardstohowthisaddressesthisproject,apparentlythereisafloodwaythat crosses the property right on the south side of the upper portion of the property above the proposed Alii Parkway. The applicant is proposing rather than have the floodway continue as it does the applicant is proposing to put in a channelized drainage channel right in this particular area. If we could defer more detailed information to their engineer when the applicant comes forward, but its my understanding that whatever the flow is coming into the particular channel, it cannot be increased; it has to remain the same or less flow than when it entered the channel at the area that it exits, which will be in a property located just to the south of Alii Park Place. Thats in this particular area here. At this time, this is a vacant property that I believe is owned by the Kimi family. And again there are different types of mitigation that they use to be able to slow down the water within this hardened channel. And again that would be something to request of the applicants engineer. The applicant is also proposing to be able to utilize this particular portion of the roadway along the Alii Parkway proposed area, and this is going to have to require some sort of culverts or those types of items as well within this drainage area. So there are extensive drainage improvements that are required, as well as they are also conditions within the Ordinance that affects the entire property, which was Ordinance No. 87-47, which is addressed in the Conditions in regards to the drainage improvements. GRAHAM:Thank you, Jeff. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa? Oh, go ahead, Mr. Director, real quick and then -. YUEN:Yeah, just to complete the picture, there is also another flow of the Waiaha floodway just to the north of this property actually the main Waiaha flow what Jeff had described is the one we are mostly concentrating on here because its the one that affects the development itself. But the main Waiaha channel is just off the property to the north of it, and eventually comes out and crosses Alii Drive under a little bridge where there is the white house and a surfing area; and thats the main stream of Waiaha. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Mr. Director. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Yes. Im a little bit confused. You are talking about the channelized floodway on the south side of the makai portion of the mauka-makai, and then its 8EXHIBIT C
