residence on an approximate 1.1 acre of a 5 -acre property in the State Land Use Agricultural
<br />District. The Applicants propose to convert an existing 2 -bedroom, 2 -bath, 1,013 -square foot
<br />dwelling into a retreat center. The operation will include the following: small prayer shelters
<br />and a walking trail through the property's native forest, and an estimated 12 overnight guests per
<br />month with no more than four guests per night, and an estimated ten visitors for day retreats, and
<br />a parking area with at least four parking stalls.
<br />This is the County zoning map. As you can see, the property here is outlined in red. It is zoned
<br />Agricultural – 5 acres. The nearby zoning is RS -10, Residential – 10 acres, RS -20, Residential –
<br />20 acres, Agricultural – 1 acre, and Forest Reserve.
<br />State Land Use Boundary Map designates this property as Agricultural. You can see it here. It's
<br />just on the border with Urban designation and over here, we have Conservation.
<br />It, the property is within the Low Density Urban on our General Plan LUPAG designation map,
<br />and this is Extensive Ag, and this is Conservation.
<br />The aerial photograph shows the site here. It is a very wooded site as you can see, with the vast
<br />majority of it being a native forest, and the front portion is where the existing residence is
<br />located, right here. And, this is Haunani Road there. Volcano Village would be down this
<br />direction.
<br />The Applicant's site plan hereI realize these words are very small so I'll describe what is
<br />located here just in general terms. This is the existing residence that will be converted into the
<br />retreat center, and this is the proposed 2 -bedroom caretaker's house and then nearby you see
<br />there is the proposed carport. And, this is the existing drive right here, and then this would be
<br />the new drive coming in down Haunani Road. This is Haunani Road. And, the large site map
<br />oh, sorry, the full site plan here shows, you know, that detail which is here, and then the lines
<br />going up into the property are the trails, the existing gravel trails that wind through the native
<br />forest and "T" designates the three proposed prayer shelters.
<br />This, these photographs show the site. The top photograph shows the existing house from the
<br />entry drive, and the bottom photo shows the front gate as seen from the entry drive on the site
<br />looking towards Haunani, and then the—cops, sorry, went to, here we go this is Haunani Road.
<br />So, at the top it's Haunani Road looking towards Volcano Village towards the southeast and then
<br />the bottom photo shows Haunani Road looking toward the northwest and the entry gate is there
<br />as you can see there. This is the property with a large, you know, kind of a buffer of trees along
<br />here. And, this is the entry, the existing entry gate, and the new entry gate would be just down
<br />the way somewhere about here.
<br />I think I skipped a slide, I'm sorry, oops, here we go, here we are. Sorry, this got skipped here.
<br />This is the existing dwelling, a little bit closer, and this is the building that would be converted
<br />into the retreat center. And, this photo on the right shows the existing walking trails that wind
<br />through the native forest along which they, that the Applicants propose to have three small
<br />prayer shelters, about 50 square foot each.
