The following items were provided in our supplemental information submission dated October 28, 2021 (Exhibit A). 1. Letter from Patrick Barrick, Hawaii Licensed Structural Engineer 2. Letter from Dr. William C. Foulk, Hawaii Licensed Architect 3. Map depicting driveway alignment for temporary use until such time the access can be permanently established along the Kakalina Street extension alignment. This realignment including fencing of the driveway is intended to eliminate potential conflicts between construction work and Kona Aerials users. 4. Letter from Terin Gloor, Hawaii Licensed Civil Engineer 5. No Rise Certification for access road prepared by Green Aina—Planning& Engineering We had hoped to present this information before the Commission at the November 2021 meeting but received comments on the supplemental information from the Department of Public Works dated November 12, 2021. The following supplemental information is intended to address those comments. • The Conceptual Site Plan has been updated (Exhibit B)to show additional information as requested. Concrete barriers are located outside of flood zones. Construction activity has ceased as of June 3, 2022, and will only resume upon clearance from DPW. Fence lines cross into flood zones as shown on the Site Plan as they are essential to agricultural uses on the property but will be modified if required. • During the course of assembling these materials it became apparent that additional parking would be required at the plan approval stage. Additional parking has been proposed on the site plan and the proposed special permit area remains below 2.3 acres total. Site topography and existing established orchard plantings required placement of the overflow parking in the proposed location. • The project access driveway has been temporarily located to the alignment shown on the attached Conceptual Site Plan to allow safe access since future construction work is planned in the future Kakalina Road Extension alignment. Again, construction work will only resume after clearances from DPW are secured. Signage is proposed as shown. If you have any questions relating to this matter please let me know. Thank you very much.

It is further to certify that the attached technical data supports the fact that proposed work in the subject parcel will not impact the 100-year flood elevations, floodway elevations, or floodway widths on Waiaha Drainageway at published sections in the Flood Insurance Study for Waiawa watershed dated Sept. 29, 2017 and will not impact the 100-year flood elevations, floodway elevations, or floodway widths at unpublished cross-sections in the vicinity of the proposed work. Date: October 23, 2021 D. GC L P NAL NGINEER No. 12235—C y��/AII, USP 2 Green 'Aina Planning & Engineering No Rise Report Bolton Access Road Executive Summary For the Kona Aerials facility, there is no grading work, and no structures are proposed within the floodway. The work consists only of surface improvements to the existing driveway that crosses the flood channel; therefore, it will have no impact upstream or downstream in a flood event. Since no grading or net elevation changes are proposed. Green 'Aina has concluded that the work will have no impact on any flood event and certifies that there will be "No Rise". Research & Determination The State of Hawai'i Flood Hazard Assessment Report (Exhibit A) shows that the subject property is situated in an AEF Zone, defined as: "Floodway areas in Zone AE. The floodway is the channel of stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be kept free of encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without increasing the BFE." Green 'Aina has determined that the proposed improvements will have no impact on Base Flood Elevations or properties in the vicinity of the work. 3 Green Ana Planning & Engineering No Rise Report Bolton Access Road Exhibit A E E xs Z E XS ZONE E ZONE ZO ONE X E xs s ZO ZO EAE ZON ZO Vic' GN NEA AE y N AE ZON NE AE E �139F ZONE X E ZON ZONE ZONE X E ZONE X ZO S EAE ONE ZONE X BASEMAP:FIRM BASEMAP Flood Hazard Assessment Report www haWaiinfip.org SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS(SFHAs)SUBJECT TO INUNDATION BY rq THE 1%ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD -The 1%annual chance flood(100- � on Permit ase V Bolt ROW Pit year),also know as the b flood,is the flood that has a 1%chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.SFHAs include Zone A,AE, AH,A0,V,and VE.The Base Flood Elevation(BEE)is the water surface elevation of the 1/a ual chance flood.
