What: three resolutions granting Special Management Area major permits for shoreline-lot homes: 26-218 (Smith Trust, 47-347 Lulani Street, Kaneohe; replaces a 1962 house), 26-220 (Nicholas and Krista Baum, Kailua; two dwellings, about 7,000 square feet, and a pool, on a 28,392-square-foot lot on Kaapuni Drive) and 26-221 (Randall and Irene Wong, 84-253 Farrington Highway, Waianae; a 3,000-square-foot house and a garage with an accessory unit).
Where it stands: each was amended to a CD1 (the land acknowledgment condition keeps its first sentence and drops the last two) and reported out for adoption on October 22 with no objection.
Next: full council vote.

No public testimony on any of the three; the Department of Planning and Permitting supported each.
On 26-218 Tupola asked about erosion on the steep slope; the architect cited retaining walls and a stormwater system. On 26-220 the Kailua beach was described as accreting; Chair Kiaʻāina asked about relocating the pool if burials are found (a state historic preservation review is required).
