front of me. And so if you could just state for the record thatit is indeed, you know, approved, and if theres anything that we should know about or could know about? GOMES:We did review and approve the KLOMAR application, thats the application to revise the flood zone, and did pass it on to FEMA, which I reviewed and the Public Works Director signed. And theres a form that we must sign before even FEMA looks at it. We also did review and approve the development right now. From what I understand, I think theres a building permit for the retaining wall that the Engineering Division has approved. They approved the stockpiling permit. We have not yet seen nor approved the building permit application. So, to this point, a building permit for the retaining wall. ALAMEDA:Okay, thank you. SPRINGER:Commissioners,beforeMr.Gomesleavesthepodium,arethere any other questions for him? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Maybe just one.

Have you looked at that? GOMES:Maybe Yen Wen can answer that question. I dont know specifically how much water is going to come out or, -. FANG:Okay. From my analysis, the water collecting on Kilauea Street is very large. Its not, you know, we tend to say its a little stream, but it carries a large tributary area and from, all the way from the University down to this point. And thats why, you know, the people that live there, theyre testifying water flows over the curb into the lawn, into the driveway. And that all holds true in my calculation. Because 26
