Second, the Commission could say that it’s not exempt, but needs an SMA Minor Permit. The <br />Minor Permit, though, the Commission would have to find that the value of the development is <br />less than a $125,000. <br />The third possibility is that the Commission could issue a Major Permit for the development of <br />the home with conditions. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Now to clarify though, because you can hardly build anything for a <br />$125,000 these days, a residence, single family residence, is exempt from an SMA Major. Is that <br />not right? <br />YUEN: It can be exempted, unless it’s found that it had a significant adverse <br />environmental and ecological affect. And that is fairly common that we, you know, it’s very <br />common to see homes, individual homes built in the SMA. So this is something that is, that we <br />get these SMA assessments quite often in the Planning Department office, and we normally <br />exempt the single family home. Normally, they do value it at more than $125,000. But normally <br />we make a finding that it would not have a significant adverse environmental and ecological <br />affect, and if they follow certain precautions and conditions -. And so that’s the normal course <br />that these things take once, in a case of a home on the shoreline once the certified shoreline has <br />been submitted, and it’s been, it’s shown that the home is outside of the shoreline setback line. <br />BOWMAN: Question. <br />WATANABE: Ms. Bowman. <br />BOWMAN: I’m not a surveyor, but again, and just for clarification, I’m looking at the <br />th <br />survey that was done on August 12. It’s Attachment 9 in the Background and <br />Recommendation. Could you, could someone tell me where the, well, the one that they certified, <br />are they showing a shoreline here? Pardon my ignorance, but –. <br />WATANABE: I don’t think so. I think they’re showing a topo map. <br />BOWMAN: Okay. This is just a topo map? <br />WATANABE: Yeah, and by that, you know, since we’ve been on the property – look, the <br />3.4 feet and 3.8 feet? <br />BOWMAN: Right. <br />WATANABE: Those would be like elevations of Wai Opae Road. <br />BOWMAN: Okay. <br />WATANABE: Then if you look further back on their actual property, you’ll looking at <br />five feet, yeah, I believe it’s five feet, three feet, and of course by the ponding areas, 2.3 feet. <br />And you got 7.8 feet. <br />BOWMAN: Okay. So this is just a topo map? <br />17 <br /> <br />
