Where the parking is and the road terminates at a turn-around, it follows the general alignment of the existing access road thatÓs coming through the Maniniowali project area right here, and forks off in this area, and turns in this direction. The access road would follow, generally, that same alignment and join up with that. In this area youÓll see, in this diagram, if you can look here, the parking, the initial parking, paved parking for roughly 30 stalls is planned, including two stalls for persons with disability in the area of the turn-around and the comfort station, which is located just in this area. ThereÓs some slight adjustments from the plans th application in terms of the location of the comfort station, moved slightly mauka around the cul de sac just to open up the views as you arrive, open up the views to the ocean and to the bay. And it also put in a more flatter, easier to developed area right on this side of the cul de sac, but right adjacent to where the parking for persons with disability is located. There are areas for expansion of the parking. These will actually be graded out to allow for an additional 20 parking stalls along the road. And these have been sited to be in areas that are relatively flat, and so thereÓs relatively little ground disturbance associated with them. And if there should be a need for further expansion, an area has been designated right in here, another flat area in here away from the archaeology. So thereÓs minimal impact to the archeology if thereÓs further expansion needed to the parking. The comfort station, which I pointed out right here, is a, this is a detailed diagram of the comfort station. ItÓs sort of modeled after the comfort station that was built at Kikawa Point Park. It includes the menÓs and womenÓs restrooms, outdoor showers, area for changing. ItÓs really just a bench and some hooks for putting up clothing, for hanging clothing, or towel bars, and outdoor showers and, out in the front. In the back is a storage area as part of the comfort station, and a trash enclosure. Some landscaping is proposed in association with the comfort station to sort of buffer the visual impact of that structure. Also, as part of the proposed improvements, a ADA accessible pathway is planned from the, the pathway would come from the area of the parking, the handicapped parking, around the cul de sac down in this direction, and through the, a lawn area or open picnic area, and then down to the area of the beach to bring people as close to the beach as possible. And these plans for ADA accessibility will be reviewed with the Disabilities Communication Accessibility Board for compliance with ADA requirements. But weÓve also talked to Mr. Hartman and weÓll review those plans with him as well. He has expressed some concerns about the ADA accessibility in this area. So we want to work with those who are concerned about that and make that as accessible as is possible, given the budget that we have. ThereÓs also planned a utility corridor in this area. This is to bring the utilities down from the Maniniowali development. Associated with that would be a connector trail. ItÓs really to provide service access to those utilities and pedestrian connection between the development here and the improvements down at Maniniowali. ThatÓs it. 5
