Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original reasons for the granting of the permit. The land on which the proposed use is located is unsuited for agricultural uses. Soils within the property are classified as"Other.Important Agricultural Land" according to the ALISH map and "D" or `Poor" by the Land Study Bureau for agricultural productivity. While soils within the project site are fairly suitable for agricultural uses,the property is not currently being utilized for intensive agricultural purposes. A water bottling facility has been established on approximately seven acres of the original 14.5-acre site with the balance subdivided into three 2-acre lots. Therefore, it is anticipated that the granting of additional time to establish the proposed use on the remainder of the original 14.5-acre project site will not adversely impact the agricultural land inventory within the County of Hawaii and the request is not contrary to the intent and purpose of the State Land Use Law. The proposed use will not have any significant adverse effects on surrounding properties., Other existing industrial uses are located in the immediate vicinity of the project site, including a kim chee processing facility, macadamia nut drying and processing plant, and a papaya packing plant. Given the use of similar industrial-type uses within the area,it is not anticipated that the proposed use will generate any adverse impacts to surrounding properties. The proposed use will not substantially alter or change the essential character of the land and the present use or unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements,police and fire protection. The original reasons for the approval of the Special Permit remain unchanged. Accordingly, approval of this request would not be inconsistent with the original reasons for approval of the Special Permit. Based on the above,the request to amend Condition No.4 of Special Permit No. 842 would not be contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by the State Land Use Law Rules and Regulations or the original reasons for approving this permit.
