IKEDA: Yes, I do. You know, I had, I had two questions but one was answered by your letters
<br />and by the conditions—
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: --yes—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: --of the Planning Director, so I’m satisfied with one and that was the gas tank and the
<br />arsenic so I was satisfied. Now I’m satisfied with that. The other one was the water credits.
<br />You have what two water credits for ten lots so are you gonna go on water catchment? Is that
<br />how it’s gonna be?
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: That’s correct. We actually have, of the ten lots, there are—six are going to be
<br />on water catchment, and four, we have four existing meters—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: --Oh, you have four meters?
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: Yeah.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Okay, that was my only concern because I know in my district, we have water
<br />catchment also, and rains a lot in Kaūmana City, but they still ran out of water, and I believe they
<br />have a minimum of 6,000 gallons of water, I think. Fire Department required them to have a
<br />minimum of 6,000. So, are you going to have a requirement like 10,000 gallons or something
<br />like that because I know in Kaūmana City, most of the residents have 15,000 gallons.
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: Sure.
<br />
<br />MIKKELSON: Typically, the insurance companies require a minimum of 10,000 gallons, so if
<br />anybody would get a mortgage they would probably have to have that. And also, because of the
<br />lay of the land up there, it’d be a potential to be able to put in, in the ground, catchments such as
<br />under lanais and so forth, concrete rather than having the exposed tanks.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any further questions for the Applicant?
<br />
<br />HEAUKULANI: Yeah, I had a question. You heard my discussion with Jeff about the setbacks,
<br />ocean setback. Do you have a sense of where you’re gonna go on that or how you’re gonna
<br />resolve that issue?
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: You know that’s a—that question was handed over to the professionals, so I
<br />hired a geologist, Dr. Jack Lockwood, and it’s all contained in the report, but my sense after
<br />reading the report, I think the conclusion is that there, the cliffs are stable enough to support a
<br />40-foot setback, with exception of a couple area and in those areas, I think the 60-foot you know
<br />may be something we have to defer to, but I think that’s where the you know the Director will
<br />make that call. But, I think that the report is conclusive that there is minimal erosion that’s,
<br />that’s taking place. I think it’s an important study for anyone that’s looking to build along this
<br />coastline because we haven’t had anything of that, that detailed that I’m aware of so, but I’d
<br />invite you to read the report, and I think it, I think it is conclusive that it’s, it’s a reasonable and
<br />safe area to build upon.
