area for the site inspection, we actually parked on the mauka side of the road, which accommodated our vehicle off the road. GIFFIN: Thank you, Jeff. Any other comments from Commissioners regarding this agenda item? Mr. Hickcox. HICKCOX: Madam Chair, there was a question raised by Mr. Darrow in reference to the handling of waste water, not waste water, swimming pool water, should it have to be drained. ROSS: Yeah, I spoke with Mr. Leach about this just this morning. It seems like there are two options. In a normal situation, you can have drainage that meets the County Code in a slow percolation situation, you know, like a 24-hour or 48-hour where you just, you know, don’t do it in a hurry. An alternate to that would be actually have a truck come in and pump it out and truck it away. So those are two options that come to mind immediately. We’ll do whatever is required by the County, whatever the standards are. GIFFIN: I think that was in response to the letter, right, Tommy, from Jojo Tanimoto that Jeff spoke of earlier, and I think it is No. 3. So is there going to be any kind of statement in terms of what is going to be required, Jeff? DARROW: In speaking with Ki regarding this issue, it looks like this would be a situation that would probably most likely fall under Department of Health, Clean Water Branch. And so our standard condition that says that the applicant shall comply with all rules, laws and regulations -. GIFFIN: Yeah, uh huh. DARROW: But the main concern, I believe, that the drafter of the letter was trying to make was that we avoid the water going into the ocean. GIFFIN: Ocean. DARROW: Yeah, so that’s the main thing is that if the Commission would like to entertain a specific condition, we can draft up something, or if you feel that the current condition is sufficient -. GIFFIN: Jeff, what specifically, which No. is that in reference to? I can’t seem to find it. Oh, yeah. Tommy, we go back to you. Is No. 12 on Page 8 specific enough to meet your concerns and your questions? HICKCOX: My concern dealt primarily with the answering of the question itself. I know that the water usage and disposal issues are covered, and the addition of chlorine to the ocean is actually prohibited, if I’m not mistaken. Correct me, if I’m wrong, Jeff. DARROW: Unfortunately, I’m not sure about these things. In this particular area in our situation, again, we were looking at the property that was quite a distance away from the shoreline, so we weren’t as concerned in regards to this issue. Had it been something more -. And I believe Health would have commented clearly in regards to that issue, had it been a shoreline parcel. 7 EXHIBIT A
