In response to your question, Commissioner Domingo, about the red line shoreline setback, how it impacts the upper floors, it is completely maintained all the way up with 6 inches in addition to that red line. All the lanais are held back 6 inches from that line all the way up. As far as the question about the Flood Insurance Rate Map, that’s based on a survey that we got from Wes Thomas surveyors; and the BFE that showed, the base flood elevation that showed on their survey that cuts right through the middle of the site was 12 feet. So we, our structure does, the base occupied floor of our structure is I think 2 feet above that elevation. Just to keep everything up to date, we did meet with some neighbors two weeks ago to the south, and they had mentioned to us that they were concerned about the pedestrian access that we’d shown, which we would prefer to call walkway at this point in time. But it was originally along the southern edge of the site where there was a little bit more of a landscaped area, and they had requested that we move it to the north side of the site to possibly alleviate any kind of public access coming through adjacent to their properties and their driveway existing on the southern edge of the site. So we were able to do that, and that’s replicated, that’s represented in the color site plan that you see there. There is an existing fence from the Banyan Tree Condominiums along the northern edge, and that seems to have a minimum impact as far as the neighbors are concerned in terms of allowing a walkway from Alii Drive to the shore. I think that’s most of what we have that’s fresh information. WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do you have any questions for the applicant? DOMINGO: So your neighbors are satisfied with this change in the location of the pedestrian path? KILGORE: Yes, they mentioned to us at the meeting with them that if we show the walkway on the northern side, that they would approve the project or not object to the project. DOMINGO: Mr. Chair? WATANABE: Mr. Domingo? DOMINGO: Are applicants along Alii Drive required to provide for pedestrian walkways to the shoreline? Every lot that is developed? KILGORE: It was strongly suggested that we provide a walkway -. WATANABE: I believe that’s part of PASH, right? Public Access Shoreline Hawaii? YEH: Well, maybe I can respond to that. I’m not sure if you, well, the background report, essentially if you were to go to the south of the property, there are some residential structures; and then thereafter if you were to drive along Alii Drive, you’ll see a sign “Public Access” which leads to Holualoa Bay. So there is essentially a public access less than 100 yards to the south of the property. And then if you were to run north, you would go to the Banyan Drive, Banyan surf spot location, you’ll see cars parked; that’s a very popular surfing spot that there is a public access to. And in answer to the question about whether or not there is EXHIBIT B 8
