DAHILIG Director of Planning DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION Planning Department County of Kauai Subject: NEW STAIRS AND WHEELCHAIR LIFT AT CAFE PORTOFINO EXIT LANAI MARRIOTT RESORT AND BEACH CLUB Lihue, Kauai Aloha Mr. Director We are seeking a clarification regarding the proposed addition of a new set of stairs and a Wheelchair lift at the existing exit lanai of the Cafe' Portofino restaurant at the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club. There is an existing sidewalk that would be accessed by the stairs and lift device. The new stairs and lift will make access and egress much safer and simpler than presently exists at this location. The new Shoreline Setback and Coastal Protection rules allow for Minor Activity, and Minor Structures. Paragraph (2)E provides that "safety improvements" and "walkways for access" are included as Minor Structures since the cost would be less than $125,000.00 This work is outside the setback area [150 ft +/-], but within 500ft of the shoreline. There is no detrimental effect to the shoreline or the setback area, and the safety improvements connect to a structure that has been in place prior to June 16 1989. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
