Legislature. It may affect you. I really don't know of your situation, and I'm not certain if you have counsel or you have a planning person helping you out INOUYE: No. DELIMA: But there are so many different questions and layers of answers to your question that there is no real easy yes or no. INOUYE: No, I'm still in limbo. Thank you very much. DELIMA: Thank you. At this time Chairman DeLima directed the Agency to the first item of the agenda under Business of Agency. BUSINESS OF AGENCY 1. Review of the BDHRA's conceptual land use master plan adopted at the meeting held on October 26, 2016. Mr. Mead briefly reviewed the conceptual master plan, Version 2 Scenario 2, last reviewed at the October 26, 2016, and stated that it was adopted with changes. The changes include the removal of the resort expansion node on the mauka side of Banyan Drive, as well as the inclusion of a resort component in the commercial node near the bottom right of the conceptual map. The final revised conceptual map, as voted on by the Agency,was presented for review. This conceptual master plan would be used to further evaluate the development of a final master plan as identified in HRS 53, and to execute the environmental documents and studies. DELIMA: Any questions? TANIGUCHI: I might have missed this earlier,but how are we going to accommodate, and it doesn't belong to Banyan Drive area peninsula,but how do we accommodate the cruise ships?Will there be sufficient MEAD: Yeah, so the cruise ships, again this conceptual land use master plan, again started off as a compilation of multiple plans, one of which is the Harbors 2035 Master Plan,which includes this Pier 5 over here. The Harbors 2035 Master Plan, I don't want to speak for DOT, but in reviewing of the plan,they do identify a Pier 5,which is intended to separate cargo from visitor. That Pier 5, this area here,which we talked about it,we had some comment on this area in green, again not being part of the"blighted" designation,right,that was identified by Windward Planning Commission. But we just show this as connectivity. So eventually there are state leases in this area right here,but you know,what we're showing there is just that there would be connectivity between what's happening on Banyan Drive and eventually that carry-through for the tourists that may come off of the cruise ships. But it's actually outside of Banyan Drive's redevelopment area. TANIGUCHI: Right. That's what I understand,but with that new pier thereI guess with that new pier there,will the large ships be able to come in? The cruise ships?
