<br />DUARTE: For the yellow one down the middle?
<br />
<br />SHIMAOKA: Yes.
<br />
<br />DUARTE: That will be a managed access, so that one we will have, you know, we’ll be developing
<br />this Heritage Center and an operational plan that will have some limits on capacity, obviously, how
<br />many you can take at a time. We have not fully developed all the interpretive materials whether it’s
<br />going to be audio, visual, and that’s going to be kind of more of, well, on this side here, this is, I
<br />don’t want to say traditional, but conventional public access in the sense of public; parking spaces,
<br />you go to the beach, you do your thing, you go on the shoreline, and that’s, you know, conventional
<br />public access as granted by required in a lot of coastal developments. And, of course, there is public
<br />access in the north side at Kahalu‘u Beach Park. This will be a managed access, which include
<br />education, interpretation, and allow more engaged conversation in viewing and accessing the site
<br />down the middle. And, you know, there would be limitation in the sense of, you know, obviously
<br />staying on. These are two key learning areas. This is our overnight Hale Ho‘omaha learning centers
<br />and then this is our key learning center here. So having this in the middle was for us a compromise
<br />of how we could allow others to come and view and experience the site even if you are not in our
<br />programs and be able to experience the heiau and learn but in a more managed way. So it is managed
<br />as opposed to this one and of course on the north is just more unrestricted, yeah. So we have both
<br />kinds of access on the site.
<br />
<br />UNGER: Any more questions?
<br />
<br />KAHOLO: Yeah, I’ve got a question. We are looking at this site right here, okay, I don’t see
<br />anything showing any kind of agreement of what’s happening on the mauka side, north end.
<br />
<br />DUARTE: So when you say mauka, you mean across the street or you mean on the north side.
<br />
<br />KAHOLO: North end. From Kahalu‘u Beach Park heading south.
<br />
<br />DUARTE: Yeah, so in the Recommendation the Planning Department is requiring us to come to
<br />agreement with them on signage and so forth, as we delineate, you know, where public can go, you
<br />know, what accesses along this shoreline, and then for those who want to experience the site, I think
<br />in preliminary discussions the Planning Director was talking about us having signage and
<br />interpretation to direct them to the other public access sites. And those are the things that we need to
<br />work out in this, the condition in there to work out the details of how we do that is what the Planning
<br />Director is requiring us to do before we can go vertical.
<br />
<br />KAHOLO: Thank you.
<br />
<br />UNGER: Any other questions, Commissioners? At this time I would like to call for a motion.
<br />
<br />SHIMAOKA: Yeah, I move that the application for Special Management Area Use Permit, Docket
<br />Number SMA 15-060, be approved pursuant to the Planning Director’s recommendation, findings
<br />and proposed conditions, which shall be adopted.
