the former Pepeekeo Sugar Co. building which was built in 1919, according to the sign on the building. The developer has elected as a, in a future application to come back to the County for rezoning to Mixed Use Commercial and Industrial which would allow, hopefully, commercial and office uses in that area, out of the building primarily. There is an existing County General Plan Industrial designation spot down in that area to reflect the HCPC mill and we'll be making that application in the future. But, however, for this particular go-around, the requirements to the settlement agreement provide that we should take it down to Residential-20,000 square feet. Moving on to the next slide, to give you some views, sorry that these are not coming out real The gray shading on the overhead is turning, of course, our colors into purple. But essentially we have, this is views of the project looking from the south border of the property looking back towards the mauka and west side of the project. If you are familiar with the area, as you look down from the highway, you'll see the County's wastewater treatment plant down there on the south side; and in the middle of the project you'll see the Industrial uses at the HCPC plant. As you can see from the photo, what I've tried to do, although I can't be sure because this is a very old photo and things may have moved, is in the pink, outlined in the pink on your map is the area that we're talking about for the SMA and Change of Zone areas. Moving on to the next photos, if, on photo number 12, if you could see, you can't see it real good. But if we could see it, this is a view from the middle of the project approximately on the Mill Road looking in the south direction towards Hilo. Moving on to the next slide, these we can't sec, I think. What we'll try to do is, essentially the, I'll try to use the photo that you do have in front of you. It's, the project area has long been cleared of most of these buildings. And the urban area that we're going in for the SMA and the rezoning is right around that Pepeekeo sign. That's now all essentially demolished, it's overgrown with grass; and the topography in that area is generally flat, with the cxccption of the foundations of the buildings. The public access for the project, as a whole, contemplated, like I say, five separate mauka-makai public acccssways. And you can see briefly from the size that you'll be able to make out the shoreline areas, for the most part, relatively high cliffs with the cxccption of the areas near the lighthouse at the Pepeekeo Point. The developer has reviewed the conditions proposed by the Planning Director. And we've reviewed the Background Report, and we have no comments and agree with the Recommendation for approval. The condition regarding the setback of structures away from the edge of the cliff, even though the certified shoreline might be closer down, is acceptable to the Applicant. We think that the, essentially, this is a reordering of what the former uses at the Pepeekeo Point used to be. We'd ask the Planning Commission for its favorable consideration, and we're open for any questions. Thank you. 6
