the shoreline access from Puak6 Beach Drive. There is no parking, it's a pedestrian access. So, no parking and only pedestrian access. Here I went and visited the site. Did a site inspection and here's walking down to the access and then so here's the subject property and then here's the subject property in both photographs on the left. So, here you can see as I was speaking before that remnant parcel really no longer exists in the shoreline essentially is right up to the makai face of the existing seawall. This access point was repaired with the County. There were some issues back in about 10 years ago and so that wall was repaired and now a safe and secure clear access for pedestrians and then the protection for the residents. Here's a photograph I kind of peeked up over the wall into the front, the makai side of the property. So, all this would be clear as the applicant moves out of the setback area. So, we can see that this will kind of remain probably very similar to what we see now which is just a grassy area and then the pool will be right at the 40-foot setback area. And here you can see the wall and the neighboring property, there's a large wooden wall kind of bounds between the neighboring property and this one. And there's a wall along the makai face and a wall along the access and then the front of the property, let me show you that. Here's from the street looking towards the property. You can see it's pretty open, so there's plenty of buildable area. No real grading or land needs to be because it's been well developed since the 1960's. Here's just a shot of the property entrance of the driveway to the subject property looking along kind of north, northeast along Puako Beach Drive and then right adjacent to that would be the public access. So, there's the driveway and then the public access is kind of right there. We spoke to this myself and Tracie Camero the other SMA Planner, we spoke to a gentleman who's lived on this property across the street, and we asked him about the access and it there's any issues and he said "no", it's pretty well used and there's has never been parking issues or anything like that. A lot of people, I think most of them walk up and down this road and utilize those access points. But we asked him if there's any kind of concerns that we should be aware of and he'd been there for 20 something years and he said, "nothing that he could think of'. So, it's pretty readily used, it's wide open, it seems safe and then it takes you right down to the water. So, the Deputy Director's recommendation on this is approval with the stated conditions. I'll take questions if you have any. DEFRANCO: Do we have any questions for Mr. Roy? VITOUSEK: Chair? DEFRANCO: Yes, Mike. VITOUSEK: My main question was analysis of the scenic resources indicated in our packet that there wasn't an analysis because it wasn't viewed from a highway. Do we consider view from Puako Beach Road? 3 EXHIBIT A
