Home

then this is the existing driveway to that house, and then this is the other driveway further mauka. This is to provide access to the ag storage building and the additional farm dwelling. This is a view of Kihalani Homestead Road looking mauka or west. The subject property is on the right, and you can see the roof of this house here is the location of the rezone that was done last year by the County Council. The—let me go back to this slide. So, Kihalani Homestead Road is a County -owned road, County owned and maintained. It has about 11 to 12 feet of pavement width, so it is a narrow road, but there are large, grassy shoulders. The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation to the County Council for this Change of Zone request. And, that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions. CLARKSON: Any questions for staff? If not, will the Applicant or their representative please come forward? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Commission today? KERN: Yes. CLARKSON: Please introduce yourself and your relationship to the application and proceed. KERN: Thank you. Zendo Kern, Planning Consultant. I'm here representing the Freemans. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Members of the Windward Planning Commission, Mr. Director, Corporation Counsel, and all the wonderful staff of the Planning Department. Yeah, so far this is a relatively straightforward application. Some of you saw the adjoining property that we were in for last year. This area is comprised of multiple -sized lots from two acres, five acres, ten acres, actually very few 20 -acre parcels. Those lots were created prior to the, the majority of those lots were created prior to the zoning, and then when the County came along with doing zoning, they said, you know, this area is Ag -20. So, it's kind of odd how a lot of the lots are smaller even though it's zoned Ag -20. In this case, I think Maija did a wonderful job with explaining everything in the presentation. The density of two homes already exists, basically subdividing it. So, that density will remain within the conditions that precludes from additional farm dwelling in there as well. So, there's no chance of really increasing density. It will remain at the same density and allow to be subdivided. We have reviewed the conditions and recommendation, and we're okay with those, and I'm happy to answer any questions that the Commission may have. CLARKSON: Any questions for the Applicant's representative? No? Thank you. KERN: Thank you. EXHIBIT B 3
