to the west is some Multi-Family Residential zoning. To the north is Single-Family Residential zoning, and across Kuakini Highway is generally Multi-Family and some Neighborhood Commercial zoning. The subject parcel and the area to the east is Agricultural as indicated in the green color areas, makai, or to the west, are Urban, also to the north and south of the subject parcel are Urban as indicated in the red color. The General Plan designation for the subject parcel is split between Medium Density Urban and Urban Expansion, as is indicated by, the majority of the area is indicated by the, the thatched color. And the Kona CDP designates the area within the Kona Urban Area and mostly within the Kahului-Puapua`a Village Neighborhood TOD area. Here's the applicant's site plan. On the left, little bit zoomed out, is the entire parcel; again, we've got Kuakini Highway generally running north-south through the left side of the slide. On the right hand side image you see it a little bit more blown up. It's approximately 7.5 acres. There's the exiting dwelling on the parcel, the existing warehouse, and then outside of the, outside of the Special Permit area but intended to be associated with the distillery operation are two shade house structures that will be utilized to grow some of the ag products, as well as the area to the south of the driveway would be utilized to grow agricultural products as well. Also, you can see there are two drainageways associated with the Wai`aha Drainage facility; the subject 7.5 acre Special Permit area is going to be outside of those drainageways. On the left hand side we'll see, we see the applicants proposed floor plan. Sorry it's a little bit difficult to read at this scale, but the majority of the back office operations will take place toward the back of the existing warehouse, with the tasting room area here, in the distillery here, and on the right hand side of the slide is just the, the parking, proposed parking for the subject distillery. Here are two aerial photographs of the area. On the left hand side we've got the entire parcel, and zoomed in on the right is generally what is going to be the, the Special Permit area, with the existing dwelling here, the existing warehouse here, and some of the shade houses adjacent to the Special Permit area, again Kuakini Highway here on the left and paved access from Kuakini Highway. Here are views of the existing warehouse—pardon me—and parking area in the upper left. Here's a view of the driveway access from across Kuakini Highway here on the upper right. A view from the inside of the warehouse as it is currently situated, and then a view of one of the shade house structures behind the warehouse area. And, finally, we've got some views of Kuakini Highway looking north with the subject property on the right hand side, and then views of Kuakini Highway looking south with the subject property on the left hand side, and these were taken from the driveway access. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this Special Permit application with conditions. 3 EXHIBIT A
