nursery space would be simple and non-permanent. She said initial work would include <br /> hand clearing, education, and coastal monitoring until AIS progressed. <br /> Cmr. Chang asked how the new request built on a current stewardship grant. Ms. <br /> Pascuita said funds had not been executed and they were discussing term and funding <br /> with the County. She said the first steps would be to purchase a small trailer for tools to <br /> support hand clearing and workshops, not a container on site. She said tools would be <br /> stored on the trailer and removed daily, so no permit was needed. <br /> The applicant stated first steps would include a perimeter walk to map visible features, <br /> identify suitable planting areas, avoid sensitive sites, and inform AIS planning.They said <br /> the team would observe the seawall and other coastal conditions before deciding on <br /> specific actions. <br /> V. Chr. Crivello stated that setting up a nursery space that was not ground disturbing <br /> and not permanent was acceptable. She said any planting counted as ground <br /> disturbance and should wait until the AIS was completed. She added that seed <br /> scattering should also wait and that planting in the first year was not necessary. She <br /> thanked the applicants for submitting. <br /> At the request of Deputy Director Kekai, it was clarified by the commission and applicant <br /> that limu planting is not part of the scope of work the applicant intends to do. <br /> Cmr. Chang stated that she needed more information before she could approve. She <br /> said the timing of a coastal water quality baseline study and aquatic species work was <br /> unclear and did not appear in the budget. She said the planned use of funds beyond a <br /> trailer and tools was unclear. She also said the applicants did not know when current <br /> funds would be released. She recommended requesting written answers to these <br /> questions and revisiting the application in January, with the option to approve as <br /> submitted or with conditions. <br /> MOTION: <br /> V. Chr. Crivello moved that the decision-making on stewardship application 26-04 <br /> be deferred to the January 2026 meeting in order to allow the commission to <br /> seek additional information and documents from the applicant. Seconded by <br /> Cmr. Britt. <br /> VOTE TO DEFER UNTIL JANUARY MEETING: <br /> Ayes: Commissioners Chang, Ward, Britt, Goodoni,V. Chr. Crivello, and Chair <br /> Rosa —6. <br /> Noes: None. <br /> Minutes of November 10, 2025 <br /> Page 10 <br />
