Cross, Senior Land Manager REQUEST: RENOVATION OF THE KONA SEASIDE SHOPS WITH ADDITIONAL PARKING AND RELATED LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS ADDRESS: 75-5663 PALANI ROAD, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96740 TMK: 7-5-006-017 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION: The applicant is seeking a Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit to allow for the renovation of the property. Edmund C. Olson Trust No. 2 (“Olson Trust”) is an organization that is committed to improving Hawaii through its investments in sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and cultural legacy preservation. Olson Trust purchased the subject property in July 2021 and is wanting to renovate the property and structures currently known as the “Kona Seaside Shops”, into an improved and inviting gateway to the Ali’i Drive retail corridor. Many of the structures on the premises were originally built in 1971 through 1975. The property and improvements pre-dated Special Management Area designations. This SMA Application is needed for Olson Trust to perform the renovations, alterations and building removals necessary within the SMA zone. We expect the renovations will enhance the visitor experience and be a refreshing improvement to the Kailua Village Business District Community. Mr. Edmund C. Olson, (93), passed away on July 15, 2024. Paul Alston and Donald Lam were vested as Successor Co-Trustees of the Trust. Paul Alston, Successor Co-Trustee is the applicant on behalf of the Survivors Trust created under the Edmund C. Olson Trust No.2. John C. Cross, Senior Land Manager of the Trust is the Authorized Agent for the SMAA. Contact information is on the Property Owner Declaration Form. 3 Item 1) Filling fee of $500.00 To be paid through EPIC Item 2) Original signed copy of completed SMA-Major application Attached within EPIC Item 3-A) Regarding EIS under Chapter 343 Applicant respectfully asks that an EIS is not required for this SMA application. 3-B/C/D.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT, RENOVATIONS, VALUE: The project site, 33,411 square feet, is located at 75-5663 Palani Road, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, 96740, TMK 7-5-006-017 and is situated in the Lanihau ahupua’a of North Kona. The subject property is sandwiched between Quinn’s Almost by the Sea restaurant and the Kona Square mix of shops and restaurants. Directly mauka is the Kona Seaside Hotel (now Pacific 19, Lanihau Properties, LLC), while the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel is directly across the street. The Trust expects that the cost of the renovations will be approximately $5,000,000. The property has been in a near fully developed state for the last 55 years. Olson Trust proposes to renovate the property by way of: A) Demolition work; the removal of three (3) of the five (5) buildings, thereby deleting 2,080 square feet of retail/office space; B) Renovations and improvements of the existing “Building 1”, (currently 1,800 sq. ft with additions of 1,100 sq. ft. for a new proposed area of 2,900 sq. ft.). Building 1 is a 2 story structure where the existing “Big Kahuna Beach Grill” is located upstairs. This building also houses the Ka’u Coffee Mill Coffee Shop (downstairs). C) Renovations and improvements and changing the use of “Building 3”, (currently 2880 sq. ft. with additions of 1,854 sq. ft. for a new proposed area of 4,734 sq. ft.) from a retail store to a restaurant (pursuant to Hawaii County Code, section 25-5-92 (a) #30) and D) Two open sided kiosk structures will be constructed in the central courtyard, 200 sq.ft. each. 4 E) Exterior Areas for outdoor seating are scheduled for 248 sq. ft. at Building “1”; 539 sq. ft. at Building “3”; and 866 sq. ft. for an exterior Bar attached to the side of Building “3”. A total of 1,654 sq. ft. of Outdoor Seating area. Gross Floor Area after renovations will be: Building Area: 8,035 sq. ft. (Buildings 1, 3, and Kiosks) Exterior Area: 1,654 sq. ft. (Outdoor Seating and Bar) Total Gross Area: 9,688 sq. ft. Mapping convention notes: For the purposes of proper identity of Buildings and proposed renovations, the architectural drawings attached within EPIC and recited in this letter identify Building 1 also as Building “A” and Building 3 also as Building “C”. Please use the letter and/or numeric identity interchangeably) A more explicit list of the planned renovations follows: I.

(See 3D site plans and reference to “Kona POKE”) A set of plans, depicting the building and site renovations, are attached in EPIC STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES: Olson Trust envisions that the renovations to the property will create a new gateway to the businesses and shops on Ali’i Drive. The open courtyard concept that is proposed will provide a gathering place for both locals and visitors to experience the best of our local economy. The tenant mix will focus on locally sourced products. We are looking to provide visitors to Kona from land or by sea, with the best the Big Island has to offer. We hope this project will instigate other property owners nearby to improve and renovate their properties. All being under the guidance and parameters of the Kailua Village Design Commission should create, over time, a cohesive improvement in the Ali’i Drive area. 6 Item 3-E) State/County Plans, Zoning,General Plan The Subject Property and Renovations meets with County and State Plans for the area. The State Land Use (SLU) is URBAN. The County Zoning is RESORT. The LUPAG designates the property for RESORT NODE. A very small area of the property could be discerned as being OPEN. (Maps are attached within the EPIC submittal) Item 3-F) Anticipated impacts of the proposed renovation in relationship to the objectives and policies of Chapter 205A, HRS, and the SMA Guidelines. A) Recreation Resources: The property does not offer any recreational opportunities for the public as the site is separated from the shoreline by approximately 50 feet that includes a County owned roadway. The proposed development will not adversely affect any recreational or visual resources to the shoreline and coastal ecosystems. Furthermore, the view planes from the shoreline and Kailua pier will be enhanced by the removal of the three (3) buildings in the middle of the property as well as the repositioning of the stairwell to the 2nd floor of Building 1. B) Historic Resources: Having been fully developed by Uncle Billy Kimi and family for over 50 years, “The Seaside Shops” itself could be considered a “historic” element. The Trust intends to keep the Kona Seaside Shops name in use, retaining this link to the legacy of Uncle Billy Kimi. The Trust intends to display copies of Registered Maps 2560 and 1676 on the wall of the building to provide visitors a visual link to the ancient use of the property and that of the surrounding area. C) Scenic and Open Space Resources: The proposed renovation is similar in character to the surrounding area and is not likely to result in any substantial adverse impact on the surrounding environment. 7 D) Coastal Ecosystems: It is expected that the proposed action will not result in any impact on the biological or economic aspects of the coastal ecosystem as the site is separated from the shoreline by approximately 50 feet that includes a county roadway. E) Economic Uses: The proposed renovation consists of private improvements that are not a coastal dependent development. The economic impact to the State and County of Hawaii will be increased as the property is situated in a suitable resort zoned location. F) Coastal Hazards: The project site is in an area classified as “Zone AE-10” according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. All construction will follow Chapter 27, Flood Control, and the Olson Trust will adhere to all applicable regulations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Because the project site is separated from the coastal shoreline by a County owned roadway, the proposed renovation will not create an increase in coastal flooding under normal rainfall conditions and on-site drainage systems will adequately dispose of project generated surface runoff. G) Relationship of the proposed action to land use plans and policies: The proposed renovation is consistent with the Plan’s goals, policies and recommended courses of action. Major elements of the General Plan, as they relate to the renovation of the property are as follows: Economic Element: Goals: Provide our residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life that enhances the County’s natural and social environments. Economic improvements shall be in balance with the cultural, social and physical environments of the Big Island of Hawaii. Obtain economic stability. Provide employment opportunities. 8 To provide an economic environment that will allow new and improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County’s natural, social and cultural environments. The proposed renovation will provide temporary construction jobs for local residents, and it will indirectly impact the economy by way of construction industry purchases from local suppliers. Economic development of the County is achieved as these part- and full-time employees spend their income on food, housing and other expenses in the retail sector. Courses of Action: Improvement and enhancement of the Kailua Village Business District as a popular visitor and local destination. Environmental Quality Element: GOAL: To maintain, and when possible, improve the existing environment quality of the Big Island of Hawaii. POLICIES: The County of Hawaii will use its best efforts to improve the quality of the environment. The County of Hawaii shall reinforce the established standards that have been adopted by Federal and State governments by recommending and adopting ordinances pertaining to the control of pollutants that may affect the environment. STANDARDS: The public’s health and well-being shall be protected from pollutants through the enforcement of Federal, State and County standards. The Hawaii County General Plan has a policy in place to maintain the quality of the environment for present and future residents. The proposed renovation will not have an adverse effect on the environment. Beyond just being compatible with the surrounding area, efforts will be made to ensure that there are no pollutants introduced into the environment from the applicant’s property. Please note that all regulatory requirements and BMP’s will be adhered to during and after construction. 9 Historical Sites Element: GOALS: To protect and enhance the sites, buildings and objects of significant historical and cultural importance to the State and County of Hawaii. To provide residents and visitors with access to significant cultural and historical sites, buildings and objects. POLICIES: Prior to the clearing and / or development of land, public or private developers shall provide a historical survey when there are indications that the land under consideration has historical significance. Where and when appropriate public access to historical sites shall be made available. To encourage the restoration of historical sites on private lands. All signage relating to a historical site, building or object shall be in keeping with the cultural aspect of that feature. SCOPE OF WORK: This site was approved and fully developed in accordance with County standards beginning in 1971. In keeping with the goals and policies pertaining to historical sites, Olson Trust shall use its best efforts to monitor any demolition or heavy machine work, and if any historical features are noted, SHPD will be notified immediately. Flood Control and other Natural Hazards: GOALS: Protect human life. Prevent damage to natural sites and man-made improvements. Prevent damage from inundation. Control pollution. Reduce surface water and sediment runoff. 10 POLICIES: Any development within the Federal Emergency Management Agency designated flood plan must follow Chapter 27, “Flood Control”, of the Hawaii County Code. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Because of the property’s proximity to Kailua Bay, all construction will follow the FEMA guidelines referenced in the Flood Control paragraphs of Chapter 27. Properly constructed and permitted drainage outlets are referenced in the applicant’s plans. Natural Beauty Element: GOALS: Preserve, protect and enhance the natural beauty of our landscape, including our coastal scenic resources. Protect scenic vistas and view planes from obstruction. Maximize opportunities for present and future generations to appreciate and enjoy our natural beauty. POLICIES: Increase public pedestrian access to scenic vistas. SCOPE OF WORK: The natural beauty of Hawaii is recognized as an irreplaceable asset, which needs to be protected. In keeping with the Hawaii County General Plan, the proposed removal of multiple buildings will open vistas and view planes to and from the shoreline, thereby aligning with the County’s goals and policies. Natural Resource and Shoreline Element: GOALS: To protect and conserve the natural resources of Hawaii County from unnecessary exploitation, encroachment and damage. To provide opportunities for the public to fulfill educational and recreational needs without damaging or endangering our natural resources. 11 Protect and promote the prudent use of our unique environmental and natural resources. To ensure that any construction minimally affects our landscape, water resources and scenic amenities. To be mindful of floods, landslides, erosion, siltation and earthquakes when planning and during construction. POLICIES: Requires use of natural resources to conduct their activities in a manner that minimizes or avoids adverse effects to the environment. To encourage the use of native plants for landscaping purposes. SCOPE OF WORK: The proposed renovation will not encroach on or result in any adverse effects to the shoreline elements. Public Utilities Element: GOALS: To encourage the provision of public facilities that effectively service community and visitor needs and seek ways of improving public services through better facilities in keeping with the environmental and aesthetic concerns of the community. Item 3-G) Description of the surrounding land area and uses. Existing and Surrounding Zoning: The property is located within the Special Management Area (SMA). The current zoning designation for the property is V-0.75 (Resort-Hotel Districts, 1 unit per 750 sq. ft.). “Permitted Uses” of the Zoning Code, include item #30 “Restaurants” and item #10 “Commercial Parking Lots”. See Zoning Map. Other properties within the Kailua Village Business District located near the subject property have the Village Commercial designation of CV-7.5. 12 Item 3-H) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) The Subject Property is rated as AE-10. The FIRM map is attached within EPIC. Item 3-I) Archaeological and Historic Resources The subject property has been in a fully developed state for over 50 years. Perhaps portions of a dry stacked stone wall on the South property line could be considered a historic feature. There are no plans to modify or change this wall. There are no other known Archaeologic or Historic Resources existing on the property. Item 3-J) Valued Cultural Resources There are no traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights exercised on the subject property. Item 3-K) Public Access There are no public trails and access routes on the property. Historic maps dating back to the turn of the century also did not show any mauka-makai access routes. Item 3-L) Floral and Faunal Resources Being in a fully developed state for over 50 years there are no native floral or faunal resources present. The landscape plan for the renovations will attempt to re-introduce native plants to the property. See Tinguely maps A00 and A01 within EPIC. Item 3-M) Access to the property Access to the property is from Palani Road just as it intersects Ali’I Drive. It is a County asphalt paved road. Concrete sidewalks exist along the entire roadside length of the parcel. Item 3-N) Traffic Impacts It is not expected that there will be significant Traffic Impacts from the renovated property. The same entry area will be used as it is today. Parking stalls will be increased to 26 from the existing 15 thus creating more space for vehicles on premises and less vehicles looking for parking on the County roads or other private parking lots. Item 3-O) Availability of Utilities The property has access to ALL forms of utility services including hired solid waste removal services and County sewer service. 13 Section 4) DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPACTS ON THE SMA: A) Description of the area, structures and existing uses of the property. Setting The subject property sits at the base of Palani road just across from the Kailua pier. The King Kamehameha Hotel is across the street. Ali’I Drive starts at the driveway entrance to the property. The property is located in the SMA, however, it is not oceanfront. Structures There are currently 5 buildings of various sizes that were constructed in 1971 and 1975 See Pattison Aerial Survey. Existing Uses The Seaside Shops currently has a mix of retail and restaurant tenants with “Homegrown Cone” selling ice cream products, “Quilt Passions” selling cloth and quilting supplies, “Pacific Vibrations” selling surf boards, clothing and related merchandise, the “Big Kahuna Beach Grill” operates a full-service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the “Kau Coffee Mill” is a coffee shop and retail store highlighting crops grown locally on the Big Island. The property currently has a managed parking lot with 15 stalls. Topography Roughly triangular, the property has a slight slope that varies from 6 feet to 15 feet above sea level. The property is separated from the ocean by Palani Road and Ali’I Drive, approximately 50 feet away from the shoreline. B) The relationship of the proposed action to land use plans, policies, controls The Subject Property and Renovations meets with County and State Plans for the area. The State Land Use (SLU) is URBAN. The County Zoning is RESORT. The LUPAG designates the property for RESORT NODE. Controlling elements are the Special Management Area designation. 14 C) The probable Impact of the proposed actions on the environment Little adverse impact on the environment is expected. The demolition of buildings and addition to landscaping and open courtyard should allow for a more inviting and cooler environment. D) Description of how the project will affect the subject and surrounding areas. The Seaside Shops is one of the first properties that you see as you get off the cruise ship at the Kailua pier or coming from the airport and turning down Palani Road. The creation of a modern, inviting, open courtyard will enhance the visitor experience as they stroll down Ali’i Drive. The addition of more parking and dining alternatives for the community will be a win for all while the renovation of an aged shopping site will give the area a much-needed commercial facelift. Seaside Shops is nestled amongst several older, antiquated properties. Hopefully our renovations will kickstart others in the area to do the same, which would benefit all business owners in the Kailua Village Business District. E) Description of unavoidable impacts and mitigating measures. Mitigative measures to minimize project impacts will be taken as necessary. These measures would include planting vegetation, when possible, to minimize erosion and employing noise and emission measures at the time of construction. During construction, the renovation will require minimal grading though the demolition of the three buildings and the concrete walkways could result in a potential dust impact. The small slope to the rear(mauka) of building 3 will be leveled, there again with potential soil and dust impact. Heavy equipment will also generate noise. In anticipation of these impacts, mitigative measures are planned as part of the construction work. Project generated dust will be mitigated by frequent water sprinkling and the installation of dust control screens where and when necessary. These measures are subject to the requirements of the Department of Public Works, Engineering Division of the County of Hawaii. Soil erosion would be confined to the property. Care will be taken during construction to limit potential erosion of newly placed topsoil. Landscaping will be accelerated to protect bare ground exposed to precipitation, runoff and wind. Noise mitigation measures would involve limiting construction to normal working hours and the installation of noise reduction devices on all diesel-powered machines. 15 F) Alternatives to the proposed project: A “no action” alternative would result in the further deterioration of the non- code compliant buildings, outdated utilities and somewhat “seedy” grounds that can and have hidden drug users or homeless. Renovation of this parcel will not only enhance the area but will bring in some much-needed change. G) Irreversible and Irretrievable commitment of resources. The proposed renovation will extend the use of the property for commercial use. Landscape and building materials, energy, water and other utility services will be committed to the development of the project. Private funds will be spent, and labor will be utilized during the construction period. Based on the above assessment, the renovation will not have any substantial adverse environmental or ecological impacts, except as such adverse effect is minimized to the extent practicable and clearly outweighed by public health, safety and compelling public interest. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS to Section 4 REGARDING POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO CULTURAL, HISTORICAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES: A) The identity and scope of cultural, historical and natural resources in the area to include any native Hawaiian rights that are exercised. There are many natural, cultural and historical resources in Kailua-Kona. Of significance in the area are Hulihe’e Palace, Moku’aikaua church, and directly across the street from the subject property is Kamakahonu beach and Ahu’ena Heiau. The subject property consists of Land Commission Award 5248 to Kaopua and Grant 3649 to Keaweualani. Ancient depictions of the property are shown on Registered Maps 2560 and 1676. Modern era buildings and construction from previous owners have significantly changed the appearance of the subject land. B) The effect of the proposed renovation on the cultural, historical and natural resources in the vicinity including the effect to native Hawaiian rights. There are very few valued cultural, historical or natural resources that exist on the subject property and no ‘gathering rights’ are affected. The demolition notes 16 recite certain elements for re-use and salvage. For example: Note 5 & 6,”REMOVE CRM CURB WALL; CLEAN AND SALVAGE LAVA ROCK” Note 7: “REMOVE AND SALVAGE CORAL STONE GROUND COVER”. Renovations to the buildings at the Seaside Shops will have no effect on these resources. C) Feasible action to be taken to protect any cultural, historical or natural resources in the vicinity including the effect to native Hawaiian rights. The subject property has been fully built out for over fifty years. To the extent that traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights are exercised, the proposed renovation will not affect any traditional, cultural, historical, or native Hawaiian rights. Section 5) SITE PLAN Several site plans are attached within EPIC. Existing current site conditions and anticipated 3-D models of the premises after the renovation and demo work are attached within EPIC. Sections 6 &7 These questions do not apply to the proposed SMA project. Section 8 List of property owners surrounding the Subject Property A PDF of the Excel spreadsheet developed by the Real Property Tax property search website is attached within EPIC. The search buffer was set for 300 feet within the edges of the property. Upon acceptance of the SMA application letters to all identified property owners informing them of the SMA application, the expected date of public hearing, and their rights to file a contested case. 17 CLOSING: Based on the above statements and referenced attachments within EPIC, the applicant requests a hearing before the Leeward Planning Commission for a Special Management Area Use Permit. We look forward to presenting this project to Chairman Dean Au and the respected members of the Leeward Planning Commission. Further we will be amending our prior submitted PL-KVD-000060 to the Kailua Village Design Commission to include this SMA – Major application.

Olson Trust No. 2 Agent: John C. Cross, Senior Land Manager Date: September 9, 2025 Project Description – Renovation of the Kona Seaside Shops with demolition of three buildings, additions to remaining two buildings, additional parking and related landscaping improvements including new drywells to retain onsite generated water. Heights of Existing Buildings and Proposed Additions • Building 1 (A): Heights of Proposed Additions The existing building apex is 28 ft. 6 in. The new addition will have a roof apex of 26.5 ft., approximately 2 ft. lower than the existing apex. Existing area: 1,800 sq. ft. with additions of 1,100 sq. ft. (new total 2,900 sq. ft.) Two stories, with Big Kahuna Beach Grill upstairs and Kaʻu Coffee Mill Coffee Shop downstairs. • Building 3 (C): Heights of Proposed Additions The existing building apex is 21 ft. 10 in. The new addition will have a roof apex that matches the existing building. The Building C (Long Restaurant + Poke Shack) Open Seating/Bar Area trellis has a top of structure at 10 ft. 8 in. measured from Building C’s Level 1 finish floor elevation. Existing area: 2,880 sq. ft. with additions of 1,854 sq. ft. (new total 4,734 sq. ft.) Includes conversion to restaurant use with kitchen, lanai, bar, and outdoor seating. • Kiosks: Heights of Proposed Additions The two kiosks’ top of roof is at 11 ft. 0 in. measured from the Building A (Kaʻu Coffee) Level 1 finish floor elevation. Two open-sided kiosks, 200 sq. ft. Each. (see Exhibit A: Building Heights Graphic) Gross Floor Area after renovations: o Building Area: 8,035 sq. ft. o Exterior Area (outdoor seating/bar): 1,654 sq. ft. o Total: 9,688 sq. ft. Item 3(F)(D) – Best Management Practices (BMPs) During construction, a comprehensive set of BMPs will be implemented to control dust, erosion, runoff, and potential pollutants. These practices meet or exceed State of Hawaiʻi and County of Hawaiʻi requirements and are further detailed in Exhibit B – Best Management Practices (BMPs) Checklist. Item 3(F)(G) – Environmental Quality Standards The above BMPs also ensure compliance with air and water quality standards. The project will follow County DPW Engineering Division requirements for dust, noise, and runoff control. (See Exhibit B: Best Management Practices (BMPs) Checklist) Item 3(F)(G) – Natural Resources and Shoreline Element The property is separated from the shoreline by Palani Road/Aliʻi Drive (approx. 50 ft. wide). Measures include: - Renovate and improve the single existing dry well at center of parking lot entrance. Install three (3) new additional drywells to retain waters on premises. (1 additional drywell to rear of parking lot, 2 additional drywells within landscaped areas of courtyard. "Drywells will be designed to meet or exceed surface flow calculations for waters generated in the paved parking lot and in the landscaped courtyard areas." - Grading and infiltration features will be directing flows away from Palani Road and the shoreline. - Landscaping with an emphasis on native species to maximize local plant use, reduce irrigation demand, and support ecological resilience to filter runoff. (see Exhibit C – Storm water and drainage) Item 3(K) – Shoreline Access - Nearest Public Shoreline Access: There are three sites within walking distance from the project area. (See North Kona shoreline access Map 3, features 4 and 5) 1) Steps into the ocean at Kailua pier, approximately 175’ directly across Ali’i Drive 2) Kamakahonu Beach (adjacent to King Kamehameha Hotel, across Aliʻi Drive) approximately 250’ to the North 3) Niumalu Beach access approximately 715’ to the south alongside Ali’i Drive - No existing shoreline access routes are upon the subject property. However, the additional parking spaces proposed for the renovated Seaside Shops will allow for more vehicle parking for those wanting to access the three shoreline access points. (see Exhibit D: Shoreline Access and Protection) Kona Community Development Plan (CDP) The project is consistent with Kona CDP goals: - LU 1.1: The project site is within the Kona Urban Area. Renovations will enhance community character by revitalizing a key entry point to Aliʻi Drive. The project site is within the Kailua Urban core and is adjacent to Ali’I Drive pedestrian sidewalk route. Also, the Kona Trolley Bus Stop 201 is right outside the front of the Kona Seaside Shops (see Exhibit E: Site Photos – Transit & Pedestrian Features). These elements satisfy Transportation Goals Objectives, Policies and Actions identified by section 4.1.3 TRANS 1.1 through TRAN-2 Street Network Connectivity of the Kona CDP. - LU 1.2: The project will incorporate sustainable practices (BMPs, drainage management, landscaping with native plants). Objective LU-2 is also achieved in regards to Urban Growth Management that support Public Transit. - LU 1.4: The renovated Kona Seaside Shops will be consistent with LUPAG and the CDP planning horizon. The removal of three existing buildings and the consolidated new sq.ft area of the two remaining buildings will meet the compact densities that are recited in the CDP. The buildings will retain their long Polynesian hipped and gabled roof appearance. The additional parking stalls, enhanced Landscaped green area, and multiple drywells on the property will protect shoreline resources by ensuring no direct impacts to public shoreline access or water quality. Exhibits - Exhibit A: Building Heights Graphic - Exhibit B: Best Management Practices (BMPs) Checklist - Exhibit C: Stormwater & Drainage Plan - Exhibit D: Shoreline Access and Protection - Exhibit E: Site Photos …Transit & Pedestrian Features Exhibit A Exhibit A: Building Heights Graphic The following graphic illustrates the relative heights of the kiosks and the Building C trellis. The kiosks' top of roof is 11’-0” from Building A Level 1 finish floor elevation. The Building C trellis’s top of structure is 10’-8” from Building C Level 1 finish floor elevation. Since Building C’s Level 1 is offset by +1’-4” above Building A’s Level 1, the trellis is visually about 1’ taller than the kiosks. Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit B: Best Management Practices (BMPs) Checklist ☐ Install dust screens and apply water sprinkling during demolition and grading to minimize airborne particulates ☐ Protect storm drains from debris and runoff with inlet protection (e.g., filter fabric, gravel bags) ☐ Use silt fences, fiber rolls, or other barriers to prevent sediment migration off-site ☐ Limit construction activity to designated areas; establish stabilized entrances/exits to reduce tracking of dirt onto roadways ☐ Store and handle fuel, oils, paints, and chemicals in secondary containment with clearly labeled storage areas ☐ Cover and stabilize stockpiled soil and construction materials to prevent erosion or dust generation ☐ Dispose of construction waste promptly and at approved facilities; prohibit dumping near shoreline or drains ☐ Re-vegetate disturbed areas promptly after construction with native plant species to stabilize soil and support ecological resilience ☐ Verify drainage improvements and dry wells direct flows away from the shoreline and function properly during construction ☐ Confirm the project setback (50 ft from shoreline) is maintained and clearly marked during construction ☐ Maintain unobstructed public shoreline access signage and add a second ocean access to the south as committed ☐ Ensure no obstruction of existing shoreline access routes throughout the project duration ☐ Conduct BMP inspections weekly and after major rain events, documenting findings and corrective actions ☐ Maintain log of BMP installation, inspection, and maintenance for County/State review ☐ Ensure all employees and contractors are trained on BMP requirements prior to beginning work Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit C: Storm Water and Drainage • Existing dry well: 6' round slotted concrete ring with 36" x 36" grate (to be renovated and rebuilt). • Three (3) new dry wells to be added: one at rear of parking lot, two in courtyard landscaped areas. • Designed to meet/exceed surface flow requirements and retain waters on-site. • Grading directs flows away from Palani Road and shoreline. • Landscaping with native species to filter runoff and reduce irrigation demand.
