application is within one of these resort zonings identified with a red dot. The applicant in this case, Puako Investors LLC, is requesting a special management area use permit to allow the development of an 8-lot single family residential subdivision. Referring to the applicant’s proposed subdivision layout map, we show the Puako Beach Road in this particular area near the lower portion of the map and the proposed layout showing the 8 lots, as well as the interior roadway. We have the ocean area near the top of the map. There is a parcel between the proposed area for the special management area use permit and the ocean which is identified as State land. Additionally, to the west of the property we have, or to north of the property, northeast, we have the Puako Boat Ramp, which is in this particular area. The applicant also intends to construct related improvements, which will be the roadway, drainage, a drainage channel which is in this particular area to the west of the subdivision, drainage and water system improvements, underground utility improvements, as well as landscaping. Conditions to mention, Condition 6 requests the applicant to provide a lateral shoreline access which will be in this particular area from the boat ramp. Condition 7 requires the applicant to work with the State Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation in improving this particular boat ramp area to be able to improve the mauka-makai access to the shoreline. And Condition 16, which deals with the drainage easements. We apologize for the late submittal to the Planning Commission as we were trying to resolve issues regarding the flood study and drainage on the property. th We have received several late transmittals. One is from Na Ala Hele dated July 20, and this morning we had received three submittals from the applicant. One is identified as a revised shoreline zone conceptual landscaping plan dated August 23, 2007, a cultural impact assessment for Hawaii County Planning Commission hearing dated August 2007 from Paul Rosendahl; and an article with the heading “Daring to Chart Murky Waters”, and this has to do with an individual wastewater system that is an aerobic type of system. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve this special management area use permit request with conditions. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Commissioners? Yes, Commissioner Rho. RHO: You talked about a lateral shoreline access or trail and in this letter from Irving Kawashima he mentions mauka-makai access. So is there any plan for mauka-makai access? DARROW: Our Condition No. 7 where we speak regarding the improvements to the boat ramp, in the condition it states that this will negate the need for a mauka-makai public access through the project site because there is existing already a mauka-makai access to the shoreline on this boat ramp area. So the Planning Director is just requesting a lateral from this already established mauka-makai access at the boat ramp. RHO: So can you also describe what that shaded area either looks like near the water or on the water, not the brown shaded area but the light shaded area on the -. EXHIBIT B 2
