suspect that the number of units on the property will probably be less than 120, but it will certainly not be greater than 120. We heard the concern about the potential groundwater and coastal water type of impact. The applicant is prepared to, and I guess we’ve had some discussions with the Planning Director about possibly having conditions that would relate to the type of fertilizing, I think slow-release type of fertilizer, to help mitigate potential groundwater and nearshore water of impacts. In terms of the viewplanes, as the staff had indicated, we would have the two-story instead of the three-story structures and the designs would be, you know, multiple structures, rather than one monolithic building. We were also prepared to have a condition that would stipulate that the elevation, the site plan, the site elevation would be no greater than 10 feet above the existing elevation, so that you don’t have a situation where, you know, this is an existing elevation and the person puts in like about a 20-foot high of fill and thus compromise the visual impact from the Alii Parkway. So we are prepared to have conditions that would be limiting that type of height. In terms of the archaeological issues, we’ve had the preservation of the heiau and the mauka-makai trail. Relative to the evacuation issue, the plan will be modified as the Planning Director has indicated on Condition No. 7 which allows for public emergency access through the project to the Parkway, although it would be subject to the Department of Public Works’ approval. Also, during the interim, if that roadway through the property is needed to provide for the Laaloa Street connection until such time that the Alii Parkway is constructed, the applicant is willing to allow the use of the roadway within that area. We also talked about traffic. We know, as was indicated by the Police Department and some of the other public comments, about the necessity for having a left-turn lane into the project from Alii Drive; well, that would be done. In terms of the public recreation, as Mr. Dickler had indicated earlier, and the public testifier I guess Ms. Stone had indicated, that there are people right now who are parking in that area adjacent to the pump station, but, again, bear in mind that that property is still owned by the applicant. So what the applicant would want to do is to work with the County Parks and Recreation Department and come up and -. Because they have other unimproved areas in that area, what we would like to do is to work with the County Parks and Recreation Department and come up with an improved public parking area, utilizing that area that would provide access to both the Pahoehoe Park as well as the White Sands Beach area. As I intimated earlier, we had a number of consultants hired to do, to address certain kinds of issues. We had the archaeological inventory survey which was done by Dr. Haun and his company. He had a draft burial treatment plan prepared and also a preservation plan. But rather than my going into it, I would just like to call upon Dr. Haun who’s present here today to kind of like briefly summarize his findings, and to provide the Commission with an assessment as far as like his perception on the impact, the archaeological impact, that this project may have on the project.
