I plan to wrap up here. I was handed a sketch of the proposed development on my way in. Someone asked me to please draw your attention to the fact that Unit 1, the way itÓs drawn is within 28 feet of the property line. No one has actually done the shoreline investigation in this location and thereÓs no real-drawn high water mark or shoreline setback line drawn here. So weÓre curious as to whether Mr. Soto knows exactly that 28 feet 11 inches is the setback required in that location. WeÓve been asking, Sea Village has been asking for a larger setback to please try to alleviate some of the views from the neighbors here. Well, mahalo. On behalf of myself and my neighbors, the 30-or-so letters that you have, I, again, thank you. YouÓve heard Ms. Nagai talk about the ancient Hawaiian burial site on the parcel. YouÓve heard Mr. Haney discuss inadequate easements, failure to meet traffic and safety concerns of the DPW and the KTSC. Easements are mis-represented in the application as it stands now. YouÓve heard me discuss the potential lack of a sewage easement and youÓve also heard us recall the memories of witness happened to that tree, and now youÓve been asked to sign off on archeological and botanical surveys. Well, along with the letters from my neighbors and the facts that we have submitted to you today both verbally and in paper form, we feel that you have heard enough to reject this application; and we hope that you will do so. Mahalo. FUJIKAWA:Thank you. Commissioners, any question to this testifier? Go ahead, Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:I wanted to ask Mr. Hayashi regarding what you folks said. Two of you I know spoke of trucked-in sand and what could become of the sand, and I wasnÓt aware of this from what I read. And it would seem that -. FUJIKAWA:Yeah, I -. GRAHAM:Excuse me? FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. GRAHAM:It would seem that if the sand was to be put in along the shoreline, there would need to be a shoreline setback variance and things like that involved for this. IÓm just wondering if thatÓs accurately depicting what is being proposed, Norman, or -. HAYASHI:Yeah, I donÓt recall seeing anything in the petition that would reflect the creation of a sandy beach. I may be wrong, I may have missed that. But I just conferred with Phyllis, also, that, you know, and we concur that we didnÓt see anything in the petition that states that there would be sand imported on the property to create a beach. 13
