Director Kern will recuse himself from this item. Staff presentation and our discussion will cover both applications, but we'll vote on them separately. Those will be recommendations to the County Council. Having had the benefit of public testimony, would the deputy director like to modify or alter the recommendation on this matter? Mr. Darrow? DARROW: Sorry, could you repeat that, Chair Vitousek? VITOUSEK: Sure. Having had the benefit of public testimony, would the deputy director like to modify or alter the recommendation on this matter? DARROW: We can discuss it as we go forward. I know there was a lot of discussion on the archeological sites for preservation, as well as the roadway issue, and so after the staff presents and the Commission is able to ask questions, we can consider entertaining some changes, possible changes to conditions. VITOUSEK: Mahalo. Okay, with that, we'll proceed with our staff presentation. County staff planner, Christian Kay,please take it away. KAY: Yes, good morning. Thank you,Mr. Chair,members of the Leeward Planning Commission. Lovely to see your bright shining faces again. If you give me a moment, I'll share my screen. Can everybody see it,please, thumbs up? All right,perfect. As the Chair stated, this is item 3 and 4, I will do one presentation for a state land use boundary amendment from Agricultural to Urban, as well as a change of zone application from Agricultural-5 acres and Agricultural-1 acre to Single-Family Residential 22,000 square feet. The subject parcel is situated in the North Kona District of Hawaii Island. For reference, on the right side of the screen the Mamalahoa Highway is running generally north-south through the slide. The subject parcel is located roughly at the location of the yellow star. For further location reference, Ka`iminani Drive is running generally east-west through the slide, and Ihumoe Street is running parallel to that, and this is just makai of the Matsuyama Food Mart. The applicant is requesting a state land use boundary amendment from Agricultura to Urban for 3.922 acres of land and a change of zone from Agricultural 5-acre and Agricultural-1 acre to a Single-Family Residential 22,000-square foot zoned district for the same land area. If the requested land use entitlement changes area approved, the applicants propose to subdivide the property into six buildable lots with a minimum of 22,000 square feet each and a roadway lot. The applicants hope to secure the required State Land Use District reclassification concurrent with the county rezoning approval as soon as possible and the subdivision process would begin immediately thereafter. We have the zoning for the subject property and surrounding area. The subject property here outlined in red is Agricultural-5 acres for the majority of it and then a small 322-square foot portion of it right here toward the cul-de-sac in Ihumoe Street is Agricultural-1 acre.
