portion of our map. The way that you would get to this particular property is from Pahoa. You would take the Pahoa-Pohoiki Road, I believe it’s 132, Highway 132, down to the Red Road or the Government Road, Pohoiki Road. And you have a direct access on Kapoho Road right into the subdivision. There is a gate located right at this particular location into the subdivision. The subdivision is gated. And just for clarification we did state under public access, which is No. 26 in our Background, that the Kapoho Beach Lots is a gated subdivision that is not open to the public for vehicular traffic, but it is open for pedestrians. We have learned since then that it’s actually a private subdivision. Although pedestrians have been unofficially allowed to go in, they are actually, officially would be considered trespassing at this point. The subject property is identified in black; and this is approximately 6.9 acres in size. The applicants are requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow the second dwelling. This will include a two-bedroom one bath single family dwelling approximately 1174 square feet in size. It will be an elevated dwelling and it will include a 208-square foot lanai. This is an aerial photograph that we have of the area and the property. Recently the applicants had received approval for a conservation district use permit to allow the restoration of the fish ponds which are in front of the fishpond walls in front of the property on the makai side. The property is right in this general area. There are a lot of mangrove trees. You’ll see Kapoho Beach Lots Road coming in. The gate is probably approximately in this area. You have Laimana Road as well as Alapai Point Road, and this particular property is located right at the junction of those two roads. We have a little closer up of the property. Again, we have the reconstructed fishpond walls that are happening -. Right now I believe just in the general area there is a, the first dwelling was constructed in this general area. The second dwelling will be constructed approximately in this area and, again, that’s just a general. This is a site plan of the property. On the top portion of the map you have Alapai Point Road and you have Laimana Road coming in from the subdivision. We have the fishpond walls that are located out in the ocean. The location of the first dwelling is identified in blue and, again, the proposed second dwelling is identified in red on the property. The applicants have proposed to hold it back approximately 80 feet from the nearest fishpond or pond, which is identified in this area. So this is approximately 80 feet from the nearest pond. Conditions to mention, we do have several conditions we want to bring to your attention. Condition 8 requires the applicant to put in an aerobic septic system; and this is basically because Kapoho is an area that has been known for continuous subsidence. So they want to be able to make sure that there’s no overflow of cesspools or septic systems. An aerobic septic system would take care of that problem. Condition 10, it states that the dwelling shall be constructed so that the lowest habitable floor shall be not less than 18 feet above mean sea level. Right now the actual location of the second dwelling is at about 8 to 10 feet above mean sea level. That means that it will be raised approximately 10 feet higher for the first habitable floor. So it doesn’t have to go 18 feet high. It’s already at 8 to 10 feet above mean sea level. And, lastly, Condition 12 requires that the applicant submit a shoreline public access plan; and it goes into detail as to what that requires on Condition 10. The Planning Director is recommending approval with conditions. Are there any questions? WOODWARD: Any there any questions for Planning Staff? Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA: Maybe Mr. Director will answer my question so -. EXHIBIT B 2
