COTTLE: ItÓs actually just outside of that, just mauka. HOUSEL: Okay. So it would not go through the guard station, rig COTTLE: No. HOUSEL: Okay. Because they do not allow people to walk in there COTTLE: Right. So, so actually access would be, if you were walking from Kona Bay Estates, youÓd walk along the shoreline up to the road -. HOUSEL: Okay. COTTLE: And then out towards the hotel properties. HOUSEL: Okay, okay. COTTLE: And, and I just want to add that these are preferred alignments. You know, weÓve requested that the applicant submit a public access plan within a year and consider, work with the County, work with National Park Service to, to come up with what alignment would be best for all parties. HOUSEL: Okay. To be clear about what conditions the Director is approving, we th just received a letter dated June 29 from Carlsmith Ball that has changes in the conditions.

So I wanted to try and see if we could work out an accommodation because they were acquiring additional parking stalls. I understand their concerns over the type of system that theyÓre putting in, which is basically a card and theyÓre not going to have a manned both. So they were concerned about, you know, how, how do you use that to -. Cause in other places youÓve got a pass and you use that pass. And theyÓre not going to have it manned so theyÓre thinking how to do that. They were concerned that if they provided the parking stalls outside of their parking that instead of being actually used by people accessing the shoreline that it would instead get filled up by people who are employees who work in the village area; and it would end up with no public access because it would be just employees parking there all day long.
