The improvements at Kua Bay consist of: Repairs to the existing comfort station; two freestanding outdoor showers; two secured accessible picnic tables; concrete walkway and steps; and three speed humps on the access road. So this is the site plan that was submitted along with the Final Environmental Assessment, as well as the SMA application. For reference on the left side of the map, which shows the overall site plan, you’ll see the areas identified where the speed bumps will be located on the access road. We are going to zoom into this particular area over on the right side of the map, and this shows where the improvements will occur in this particular area; again, it identifies the improvements as the walkway, the shower and picnic tables, as well as the barbecue area, oh, and including the existing comfort station improvements. This is an aerial photo again identifying the area of where the improvements will take place; the comfort station as well as the additional showers and the walkway and barbecue pit. This is a site photo of the area; we have an existing shower on the right side. This is the area where the improvements to the ramp will be. This is the improvements at Mahai‘ula, which will consist of: Spot repairs along the existing access road; parking area improvements; new storage and water tank building; walkway handrail repair; refurbishment of the existing barbecue pits. As in the last slide similar we have the overall site plan on the left side. So there will be improvements upon to the access road where there is damage. Then again we’ll zoom into the main area on the right side of the map, and this will show the existing improvements that will happen; you’ll see these three existing barbecue pits that will be refurbished, you are going to have the new storage and water tank building right next to the vault restrooms, the handrail repair and also improvements to the parking area. This again is a zoomed-in site photo of the particular areas where the improvements will occur. These are the existing restroom facilities at Mahai‘ula. This is one of the picnic tables. And this is some of the damage that you see along the access road. And one of the existing barbecue pits. The Planning Director is recommending approval of both the SMA Use Permit and the Shoreline Setback application. We have submitted recommendations for both with conditions connected to each permit. Since the background and recommendations were submitted to the Planning Commission, we have received one letter, and this was sent to the Planning Commission yesterday th via email from Erway, or from Marjorie Erway, and this was dated February 17. She brings up concerns regarding the showers, as well as the access road to Mahai‘ula. She requests that the fishery at Kaʻūpūlehu be expanded to include the reef at Manini‘ōwali. And so that’s also been accepted. With that, that concludes our presentation. Thank you. WHITTEMORE: Okay. Commissioners, any questions of staff? UNGER: I had a question. WHITTEMORE: Yes. UNGER: Mr. Darrow, can you clarify the flood zone designations in this area? The SMA Permit calls out three, Flood Zone “X,” the 500-year, “VE,” the coastal wave, and then “AE,” the 100-year flood plain, and in your background report you just talk about “X” and “VE.” Was there a reason why you omitted the “AE?” 3 EXHIBIT B
