MCCALL:Ten-year waters, okay. And, in my understanding, that actually
<br />should be an improvement over the current no-build situation where even in a ten-year
<br />storm, you are going to have water flowing off the property. And so what youre setting
<br />up should actuallybe somewhat of an improvement over that?
<br />FANG:Yes.
<br />MCCALL:Im not sure this is appropriate, but is there, Ill just throw, you
<br />know, is there anything, is there any way to help the neighbors? I mean, could the
<br />drywells be designed to a larger holding capacity? I mean, you know, if youre going to
<br />have the equipment out there to drill a drywell, is it possible to put another drywell in that
<br />would perhaps take some -. I mean, it may be unfair to ask this of you cause I think
<br />youre doing your part anyway. But is it possible to put another drywell in to take some
<br />ofthis,someoftheCountysKilaueaAvenuewater?
<br />MOORE:Letmeanswerthisway.Youknow,thereare,again,the
<br />requirements have been met; again, the drainage study has done that. Weve already
<br />been talking about other things that we can do; and were looking at that. Its a balance
<br />of, its not a simple question. There are some walls, and then you put a drywell in and
<br />theres some hydraulic issues on those walls. So theres all kinds of implications that
<br />come into play here. But weve already started these discussions internally and theyre
<br />looking at that. So I will say the door is sure open to that. But it has to be balanced with,
<br />again, the numbers have to work for this to go. Again, as anything else its not a non-
<br />profit. But, again, we have looked at that, weve talked to Yen, weve talked to the
<br />contractor, and weve talked to the owner about this; and that is an on-going discussion.
<br />Again, we understand that were intruding in the neighborhood that has been there a long
<br />time; and, you know, were not going make them happy, I can guarantee that. But can
<br />we, can we, in working with them can we do things to try and make this better? I think
<br />we already have in the sense of, again, taking that two 24-inch culverts, and necking it
<br />down, ponding water so it slows the flow down, and it gives more of an absorption time.
<br />So weve already started this process. And will we continue that? Within reason,
<br />absolutely.
<br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioner Graham?
<br />GRAHAM:Mr. Moore, I guess, I regret a little bit that we spent so much time
<br />talking about the floodway because, to me, you know, the floodway is really not the
<br />Applicants problem. And when Yen spoke to the fact about how the water, that lobe that
<br />comes out, that was Mr. Yuens question, is not really carrying water down, its more like
<br />an overflow area. So I dont feel concerned about your fill as a result to his work,
<br />substantially messing with the movement of floodway. But I am still concerned about the
<br />culvert. When you say culvert, I assume you mean a pipe, right, a pipe and a culvert,
<br />same animal?
