This is the site plan here on the right. You can see the entry, the proposed entry drive and the actual pad where the tower will be, outlined in red, and this is the overall property line of the site. This is the, what they call the yard plan, where the actual concrete pad would be, and this is the location of the tower. Elevation is here of the monopine. The dimensions on the left side here show the 150 -foot plus a 5 -foot extension there so it's a total of 155 -foot height. Aerial photo showing the subject property outlined in blue. And the highway, Highway 130 or Pahoa-Kalapana Road is here, and there's an access road that runs right here. Zoning map shows that the property is zoned A -3a, Agricultural – 3 acres. The property is outlined in red as you can see, and nearby zoning is Ag -20, so Agricultural – 20 acres. The subject property again in red. It's designated on the LUPAG Map as Extensive Agriculture, and nearby designation is Important Agricultural Lands. The access road is Old Kalapana Road here. You would take a right to access the subject property. This is the access road from Highway 130. This is the property as viewed from Highway 130. You can see the sign here, and the property is immediately behind that berm. Oops, sorry about that, skipped a slide. This is the photo simulation of the proposed monopine. These photos were provided by the Applicant, and on the left is the existing view looking south on Highway 130. On the right is the proposed view looking south on Highway 130. And, you can see the monopine is rendered in the photo on the right. The Planning Director's recommendation is approval with conditions. That's the end of the presentation. CLARKSON: Are there any questions from the Commission for staff? ANDREWS: Yeah, so one more thing to add, we did draft revised recommendations and revised recommendation and conditions of approval based on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service comments. Their comments—the conditions of approval addressed their comments regarding the protection of wildlife in the vicinity, so the Hawaiian hoary bats, seabirds, and Hawaiian hawks. So that Conditions 3, 4, and 5 would address the Hawaiian hoary bats, Hawaiian hawks, and seabirds, and Condition 6 is to prevent the spread of Rapid `Ohi`a Death. And, Condition 7 is to prevent the spread of harmful, invasive species, and so those should be with the Commissioners now. There is also additional testimony that the Commissioners should have received. CLARKSON: Thank you. Are there any questions from the Commission for staff? I just have one. All the surrounding property owners were notified of this application? All the ones within the fall radius of the tower? DARROW: [Nodded yes.] CLARKSON: Okay. EXHIBIT C 2
