<br />Power, Viewplanes, Erosion Control Subcommittee <br />report to <br />NKCDP AC meeting August 10, 2015 <br />POWER <br />Paniolo Power representatives have asked to meet with subcommittee members at Parker <br />Ranch as Paniolo Power reaches out to Åask community members for advice" on the microgrid <br />concept for Kohala. <br />VIEWPLANES <br />Preserving views from Akoni Pule Highway is called for in the CDP. Kohala Shoreline LLC Draft <br />Environmental Assessment (EA), for the 37.88 acres makai of Kohala Ranch and Kohala <br />Estates, includes building setbacks, earth tone colors and 25 feet maximum building heights. <br />Subcommittee members wrote letters as individuals commenting that tree height is often the <br />greatest view blocker. Along Kohala Shoreline's stretch of Akoni Pule Highway, a tall windbreak <br />parallel to the highway would block most of the view of the ocean. Coastline views would be <br />impacted by proposed building sites, one located 40 feet from the shoreline and several located <br />makai of the historic Ala Loa. <br />EROSION CONTROL <br />In the Kohala Shoreline's EA letters, sediment or infiltration basins were encouraged to decrease <br />runoff into the ocean. <br />Kailapa requested assistance after designers of a drainage plan for a new playground parking lot <br />required extra infiltration data, referred to as a Geotech Report, for a sediment basin versus a <br />drywell to handle runoff. County approved engineering plans of infiltration basins, located on a <br />nearby project with similar percolation conditions, were provided to Kailapa. <br />Meetings coming up with State DOT Airport engineers on erosion control efforts at Upolu Point. <br />
