Attachment E 1. The project will benefit the general public by giving the public access to another waterfront park on AM Drive.This waterfront park would be special as the surf breaks of Banyans and Lymans Bays offer the public recreational activities that the beaches along AM Drive cannot offer. It is envisioned that the park will provide excellent viewing opportunities for the public.The public wilt have access for viewing and enjoyment of the waterfront. It will give better access to the water for surfersand other water sports enthusiasts. It will also give the local fishermen access to the shoreline waters where the fishing is good. See Figure 6 and Figure 7for photos showing the location of the property on Alli Drive and an aerial view of the Lyman home from the water. A coffee truck and a food truck could be present to allow walkers on Alii Drive to have a coffee or a bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful views. 2.. The complete area as seen by the map in Figure 2 has already been preserved or in the case across the street where there are the Heiaus will be preserved. This is clearly a part of AM Drive where there was a lot of activity among the Ali'! with an amphitheater and a school on Kamoa Point.This is also a property where it is reported that King Kamehameha learned to surf and where there were many meetings were held. No known rare and endangered vegetation or fauna have been found to exist on the property.The property has been subject to environmental statements that the rare Hawaiian Bat(lasiurus cinereus semotus) is living in the large banyan tree in the middle of the property. A number of other native birds such as the to (Hawaiian Hawk),the Pueo(Hawaiian Owl),the Pacific Golden Plover and Ruddy Turnstone also live on the property. Other mammals on the property include roof rats, mongoose, house mice, feral chickens and feral cats. At present the subject property is developed with the old homes but is generally overgrown with scrub, weeds and barge trees. 3.
