Kuaniki Highway. The section between Kuakini Highway and the proposed Alii Parkway on the south side of the road is the proposed drainage channel that the applicants are proposing to construct. And again, as you were mentioning, it would come from Kuakini Highway, it would divert the water into the channel and then when it releases, it’s my understanding, it has to release it at the same force, I think that’s the correct word, or flow as it entered, so that it’s not increasing the flow coming out off of the drainage channel.Whatever means that the applicants have to do to construct to bring the flow pressure down when releasing, they’ll have to construct that. GRAHAM: The release is at the point where the proposed Alii Parkway is, and that’s sort of the end of the applicant’s property in so far as dealing with these flood issues. DARROW: Yeah, maybe the applicant can go in more detail. They have actually hired an engineer that will be working on this that testified at the hearing. But my understanding is that there would be a, I don’t know if this is a bridge but, there will be culverts coming underneath this roadway releasing the water, so they actually, it’s going to be released on the makai side of the roadway onto this area here, which is at this time two undeveloped lots. GRAHAM: Is that area that you are saying, the release, does that belong to this applicant? DARROW: No, it does not. GRAHAM: Thank you. DARROW: But it is still located within the flood zone. GRAHAM: Thank you. ALAMEDA: Any more questions for Mr. Darrow? Ms. Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Yeah, I just want to establish for sure that, of these 289 units, none of these are affordable. Is that correct? DARROW: It’s, I believe, I’m not sure. We’ll have to ask the applicant on that one. They may have to meet certain conditions regarding that, or they may not be. ALAMEDA: Okay. Any more questions for Mr. Darrow? Seeing none, what if, Mr. Torigoe, tell me if I’m correct on this one. I want to invite all the parties up, and we already have the hearing officer’s report so, but there is the exceptions. I’d like to see if they have any further comments with regard to the exceptions being made. TORIGOE: That would be appropriate. ALAMEDA: Okay. The parties, please come forward. You might need one more chair, maybe one by on the side of Mr. Mooers, sir. All righty. Let me swear in whoever didn’t get sworn in, that’s Mr. Lim, Mr. Mooers? Sir? Okay, raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? EXHIBIT B 5
