Going back to the location map, this would be, the red line identifies the SMA boundaries. Everything makai of the red line will be situated within the SMA. Initially advertised was a request for a Special Management Arca for 30-plus, approximately 30 acres of, 30 lots within the Special Management Area. However, on further refinement of the map, we found that only 11 lots would be situated within the SMA or will be created within the SMA. And these, the maps would be, the lots will be these lots identified in red, in red dots. Again, this is the power plant, Hilo Coast Processing power plant. The SMA line is indicated in red on this particular map. We are recommending approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban. We also request, recommend approval of the rezoning applications. And, finally, we arc recommending that the SMA for the creation of 11 lots within the Special Management Area also be approved, subject to conditions. All of you received the staff s background report and recommendations. Are there any questions? GALDONES: Commissioners, any questions of Norman? If not, Norman, and I'm not sure procedurally what is correct here. We probably could go ahead with the power point and then later on have the discussion with the Applicant or his representative. Mc Lim, would that be okay with you folks? LIM: Yes, that would. Thank you. GALDONES: Okay, why don't we do that. Go ahead with the power point presentation then. LIM: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission. Steve Lim from Carlsmith Hilo Offices With me today is Mr. Royden Yamasato from our Kona office. Thank you for us allowing us to come before you with this presentation. We apologize for the setup timeframc. It's kind of last minute. But we hope to make a very short presentation and give you some orientation of the project This is essentially a project area that's large running from the Hawaii Belt Road makai to the ocean. The entire project area is about 1,300 acres. The applications before you are Phase 2 of the project. Phase I of the project was a subdivision of approximately 70 lots from, ranging in size from one-and-a-half acres up to Live acres and then to bulk lots of 100 acres each. These were all subdivided out last year, and Phase 2 of the subdivision contemplates the proposed change of zones and SMA applications. These are out at the point at Pcpeekeo, just to the north of HCPC power plant, looking at the area. As far as the subject area, you can sec on the slide there that this is a, where it is. This is the HCPC gear wheels sign that you see. This is the entrance to the project area along what we call the Pcpeekeo Mill Road. This is one of tha, it's a landmark from the East Hawaii side of the island. As we go on to the next one, you can see that the project area is generally located in Bast Hawaii between Pcpeekeo town and Honomu. If you're familiar with the Highway in the area as you go down from Pcpeekeo town and start heading the I]onokaa direction, you'll have a downward slope and see the other side of 4
