most benign, of course, would be Zone X, that areas would be outside of any floodway
<br />area. Zone AE would suggest that it would fall within the floodway area. And E is like
<br />the term that would say like for Elevation, what certain base elevation that you must
<br />achieve or where the base elevation has been determined; and you can just kind of work
<br />around that. What we kind of point it out over here is just the top portion, the
<br />northwestern portion, only just a small section of the property falls within the AE zone.
<br />So any structures or improvements in that area would have to, you know, from our
<br />standpoint, would not be developed in that area. The only thing that would be developed
<br />in that area would be like landscaping and other types of non-structural things. And I
<br />think the Planning Director’s conditions also stipulate that, so -.
<br />I don’t know if I mentioned -. And the rest of the property falls in Zone X, so they pretty
<br />much would be free of like the flooding area. But notwithstanding the fact that it’s free
<br />of flooding, the project will generate on-site drainage, you know, because of, through
<br />added, you know, like impervious surface, whether it’s your parking area or your roof
<br />tops and all that stuff. So there is an obligation that according to the County Code that
<br />you must develop a drainage plan that contains all of this on-site generated water; and
<br />usually that’s handled through a system of drywells.

<br />RHO:You also have a letter dated April 10 that’s Exhibit -, there’s no
<br />th
<br />number on it, it’s dated April 10. At the end of that letter, it’s Item D, it talks about -.
<br />FUKE:Correct.
<br />RHO:Laaloa Street. So can you give us some information about that.
<br />FUKE:Okay. The County, as you know, has been trying to develop this
<br />mauka-makai connector. And the tentative plan is to extend Laaloa Street that would go
<br />through, not this property, but, you know -. Laaloa Street is actually, if you look at the
<br />map, on the right-hand side or the south side, you know, of this proposed area. So you
<br />would extend a through mauka-makai, and then eventually cross over the Parkway, and
<br />eventually continue all the way up to Kuakini Highway. And so the discussions we’ve
<br />had like with the Department of Public Works was because of some concerns raised by
<br />area residents, whether they could provide like an interim access through this property,
<br />you know, in lieu of having that access go through the lower portion of that Laaloa Street
<br />extension. You know, in other words, that area makai of the Parkway, rather than having
<br />the traffic pretty much like travel through that area, to see whether there could be an
<br />interim access through this property to, thereby, alleviate any concerns among the
<br />existing residents who live within the Laaloa Subdivision. So that’s the discussion that
<br />we’ve had with the County; and, to date, there has not been any resolution.
<br />But as I mentioned earlier in the opening statement, that there is a condition that you’ll
<br />note that the Planning Director is proposing that, subject to Department of Public Works
<br />approval, would allow for a direct connection to the Parkway; and, to that, the Applicant
<br />has no objections.
