decision if we had some—or would you be confident now with what you know having been out <br /> there saying that— <br /> CLARK: I feel confident that it's very unlikely. If you needed more evidence, we could do <br /> testing. I do believe it would only go to six inches till you hit where you couldn't dig anymore. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. <br /> CLARK: Looking at the area around, there is a lot of bedrock exposed. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. Even in the makai corner where there is some fill deposited? <br /> CLARK: I believe so, but I can't say for sure. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. And then I guess question for staff is on the SHPD review. Did SHPD take <br /> a look at this? <br /> ROY: No, we decided kind of under your—when you had advised us in the past to try to take a <br /> look, I looked at the site, I went to the site <br /> VITOUSEK: Yep. <br /> ROY: —and, you know, my experience as a geologist, I took a look at subsurface but then did <br /> review all the previous permits. There was an original SMA Major for the subdivision. There <br /> were Minors provided, and the only requirement was one of the Minors had asked for an <br /> archaeological monitor during development. So that's a possibility. But then subsequent SMAs <br /> did not ask for that. And then the house that was built next door did not have any monitoring or <br /> requirements. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. Are there any more questions, Commissioners? <br /> KNOWLES: I just had a, outside of the realm of the archaeological piece, I know, you know, <br /> we've had several conversations in my time, limited time as a commissioner, about emergency <br /> evacuation. And this property sits squarely in the tsunami evacuation zone. So, I think it's for <br /> the Planning Department,just in terms of consideringI noticed there wasn't much in the <br /> background report around this issue, but—ingress and egress and, as we are increasing density <br /> on this coastal zone, what does that look like? <br /> ROY: I believe that the tsunami evacuation has looked at the subdivision as a whole and <br /> assumed at full buildout that evacuation needs for this area. Kona Bay Drive is a private road, so <br /> only those that live in this area would be accessing, would be heading out to Kuakini Highway <br /> and then further mauka. But, you know, as far as a specific requirement for tsunami evacuation <br /> plan, there was none. So that's something that, you know, if you want it <br /> KNOWLES: Does the subdivision have one? <br /> 9 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
