This is the certified shoreline survey for the property. The property is located on the right side of the slide, the sea is on the left side, and you can see the property line outlined with a solid line and then a double-dash coming down here and then along the bottom here. There is a County-owned public access; it’s a mauka-makai access from Puakō Beach Road to the sea just south of the subject property that is this area here. And then the rock wall that is the subject of this variance begins in this area and extends down to approximately this area right here where the red dot is. The certified shoreline is depicted in red, and it’s a little hard to see, but I’m just generally going to, if you can follow the cursor, I’ll show you the way; it follows the makai face of the seawall on the northern edge and then it bumps out a little bit towards the water, towards the sea along here, and then it comes back along the makai face of the seawall in this area on the south edge of the property. The Planning Department recently approved a shoreline setback variance and an SMA permit for an emergency repair to a portion of the wall; there was a storm event back in 2010, I believe it was, and it damaged the portion of the non-legal wall in this area, so we issued a variance to allow the landowner to reconstruct the portion of the wall in the south edge. And you can see that it was reconstructed in this alignment here. So this subject variance only deals with the wall from the northern property line down to where the new wall was recently rebuilt. This particular slide also shows the 40-foot shoreline setback line, that’s shown here in pink, as well as the owner’s dwelling and garage. This is an aerial overview of the property and the shoreline. It was taken in 2004, so quite a while ago, but it gives you a general idea of the shoreline in this area. This is the landowner’s house here. You can make out the County public access way, the mauka-makai access, right about in this area here, and then the existing seawalls to the south and to the north. The subject wall begins in this general area here and extends down to right about here. This is a view of the public access way looking towards the sea; the applicant’s property, or the landowner’s property, is on the right side of the slide, and you can see the portion of the new wall that was recently constructed. Again, this is the landowner’s property here. This is a portion of the new wall, and then you begin to see the wall that is the subject of this variance; it begins in this area here and extends north along the property line. Another view at the very northern edge of the wall – this is the wall here that’s the landowner’s wall, and then this is where it meets up to the northern wall. And then this is a view taken from the shoreline looking back at the public access way; the property is on the left-hand side of the slide, and this is the new wall that was recently constructed. Another view where the new wall meets the non-legal wall in this area here. And then along the north boundary of the property – this is the neighbor’s wall on the north side, and then this is the wall that’s the subject of this variance here, this is the landowner’s dwelling in the back. And then this is just a view of the shoreline to give you an idea; again, this is the north property owner’s wall, and the subject wall here. And a view looking south towards the public access way. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the variance with conditions. And I’d like to just discuss one of the conditions. Condition 3 -. GIFFIN: Hang on just a minute, Maija. COTTLE: Okay. Actually, before I go into Condition 3, I want to point out an exhibit that we recently handed out to you guys. The reports that were submitted to you were copied in black and 2 EXHIBIT B
