2023-06-02 DRAFT Joint Meeting Exh B (Proposed Amendments to PC Rules 8 & 9)

Home

JACKSON: Yes, and I would also like to just clarify again that a lot of the testimony that was received was opposing the shoreline setback which is in the Planning Department Rule 11 and the Commission does not have the authority to change or amend that rule. The Director just provided it to the Commission and the public to see how the Department rules related to shorelines and the Commission rules interrelate. But the Director is going to take public testimony into consideration, gain more testimony when we have the community meeting and then make the amendments to Planning Department Rule 11. KERN: Chair, if I may. LIN: Go ahead. KERN: Thank you. Just to add to that. So, what've been working on just to continue on with Maija was saying. Is that we've been working on a science-based shoreline setbacks. It's been in conjunction with UH, with NASA and our Department as well as a consultant team and what we're looking at is kind of a, again science-based so applicable to the situation on the ground or on the shoreline. What we anticipate is certain areas will follow projected sea level rise with an increase of the shoreline setback based on that. We're also looking at a kind of a rise in run potential for step pali's and cliffs which is kind of unique to our island and then other areas may not change and keep that 40 where it wouldn't be needed. That's the framework that we're looking at right now and that will go to an entire public hearing process to be adopted. But it is being based on science, is the goal there. So, any questions, happy to answer. DANIELE: What's the time frame on the completion of this study? KERN: We're close, we pretty much at the final stages of it. Expect to have it coming out probably at the end of this year, beginning of next. DANIELE: Thank you. LIN: Any other questions Commissioners? Oh, Vice Chair DeFranco. DEFRANCO: Getting back to Zoom. Yes, I just wanted to mention I appreciate reaching in and looking for the kuleana and how to protect some of the kuleana's that are in existence, and I did also notice in looking at a lot of the testimonies which to me was cut and paste and a bit repetitive. But it had the common feeling of wanting to include more community input and transparency in doing this. But I feel like you've done a good job in trying to make the changes that we asked last time, and I appreciate that. Thank you. LIN: Thank you. I guess, I wanted to also focus on some of the testimony that we got today too. They talked about this Cultural Resource Commission regarding the archeological studies and that stuff. How does the Planning Department interact with that Commission, if any? 6 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
