CAMERO: Yes, I will do that, and allow me time as I make sure we both have access.
<br /> KAY: Okay, yes, again as the Chair stated, extensively,this is a request for six separate items,
<br /> again all kind of further into the development of the development of the Kumu Hou at Waikoloa
<br /> development projects. So, I will move on to the next slide in a moment please. Okay, thank you.
<br /> So, the project area is situated within the South Kohala district of Hawai`i Island. More
<br /> specifically, within the mauka area of the Waikoloa Beach Resort outlined here in red, and
<br /> generally situated between the King's Trail which separates the mauka and makai areas of the
<br /> resort and Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway, which generally runs diagonally through the slide here.
<br /> We also have, for reference, Waikoloa Beach Drive, which is intersecting with the highway and
<br /> runs as a loop through the entirety of the resort. Other land uses in the area are similarly resort,
<br /> where we have the Mauna Lath Resort area here to the north, and then mostly otherwise vacant
<br /> land in the area.
<br /> This next slide is a brief development timeline, or land use entitlement timeline for the Waikoloa
<br /> Beach Resort, including the mauka lands, which are slated for the Kumu Hou project. First, in
<br /> 1968, the State Land Use Commission reclassified 549 acres of land, which is the makai portion
<br /> of the Beach Resort from Conservation to Urban, and 2,865 acres of land which encompasses
<br /> what is now the Waikoloa Village from Agricultural to Urban.
<br /> In 1977, SMA Use Permit Number 25, or SMA 25, was approved by the Planning Commission
<br /> to allow the development of the Waikoloa Beach Resort complex including construction of 3,000
<br /> hotels rooms, 3,430 multiple-family residential units, two 18-hole golf courses, and other
<br /> recreational amenities, commercial, and related support facilities and infrastructure.
<br /> In 1990, the State Land Use Commission reclassified an additional 853 acres of land, which is
<br /> now the mauka portion of the Waikoloa Beach Resort from Agricultural to Urban, and reduced
<br /> the total number of entitled residential units to 3, 365,which was spread out between the mauka
<br /> and makai areas, as is indicated on the screen.
<br /> The approval also allowed the increment of development of the mauka area with the provision
<br /> that there would be an 800-foot setback from Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway with a meandering
<br /> boundary to be defined by the petitioner and the resulting area preserved in perpetuity through a
<br /> conservation easement.
<br /> In 1991, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to SMA 25 to max the new LUC
<br /> requirements to reduce the residential units within the resort to 3,365 and added conditions to
<br /> permit the construction of two additional golf courses and related improvements within the resort
<br /> area.
<br /> Finally, in 1991,via Ordinance 91-112, the County Council rezoned the mauka area of the beach
<br /> resort from Unplanned to a myriad of different zoning designations including Multiple-Family
<br /> Residential 4,000, 6,000, and 8,000, Village Commercial 10,000-square feet, Limited Industrial
<br /> 20,000-square feet, and Open.
