Mr. Moore oriented the Commission and members of the public the subject and surrounding properties on Flood Study prepared for Dr. Alan Takase and also indicated the locations of the various flood designations. The Commission then proceeded to the sidewalk on KilaueaAvenue to view the makai property line. Mr. Moore pointed out the location of the two 24-inch culverts on Kilauea Avenue designed to handle runoff in the area; and he pointed out that the flood waters run into the Mormon Church property, and then to a portion of DJSMs property. In response to the Chairs inquiry, Mr. Gomes explained that the County maintains the culverts within the County right-of-way, and the Mormon Church and DJSM are responsible to maintain the drainage way within its own properties. The Commission then walked along the drainage way on the Mormon Churchs property andthenstoppedtolookattheareawherethedrainagewayentersintoDJSMsproperty, which was indicated by Robin Black. Ms. Black expressed drainage concerns for the area residents if the base level elevation is raised, noting currently most of the waters seep into the ground of DJSMs property. Eric Ishihara pointed out that this subject area was of particular concern because it will be raised 3 feet and covered with the building structure and parking area, and the waters would run off to surrounding properties. The Commission then walked to the boundary opposite Kilauea Avenue where Ms. Black pointed out the location of the surrounding neighbors who were present for the site inspection, the Kojiro family, Ishihara family, Aguiar family and Black family. Mr. Moore again indicated the locations of the floodways in the area on the Flood Study for Dr. Alan Takase, and Ms. Black noted the extent of damage to neighboring properties in the last 100-year flood.
