ROY: Thank you, Commission. Today, we are going to be going through two applications, kind of they came in as a packet, both the Change of Zone application from RS Residential-15,000 to RA, that's Residential Agriculture, 5-acre, and then of course the Special Management Area Use Permit to go along with this project. So, as stated, the property is located on the Kohala area. You can see in the larger map there is a black arrow pointing to the area, the project area, and then I've included a kind of inset map showing the subject property, of course Kohala Ranch, and the adjacent Kohala Kai Subdivision. At this time the applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet to Residential and Agricultural-5 acres. And then additionally, the applicant is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit. The reason for this request is the applicant intends to subdivide the property into six lots for future home sites and associated development. Here is a County Zoning map of the area. The property is down here outlined in black and zoned currently as RS-15. We can see the majority of the neighboring zoning is in A-5a, so Agricultural, A-20a, and then there is some additional, south of the project area, we have some LDU and other zoning districts. But the majority, as you can see, of the surrounding properties is Agricultural. The State Land Use Boundary Map shows this parcel as all within the Urban district, State Land Use District. The parcel to the north, the State parcel, is all in the Conservation. You can see that the Urban designation extends down the coast,practically everything makai of the highway, with the remainder Kohala and up ones to be in the Ag district, and then of course if you get further up you are back into the Urban district again. Here is the General Plan LUPAG Map, so this relates to the General Plan. The site actually has three kind of designations: Open along the shoreline, this EA, which is Extensive Agriculture, on kind of the northern end, and then LDU, Low-Density Urban, on the majority southern portion. The majority of the area up mauka is Extensive Agriculture, with an Open buffer that goes back into LDU where we saw the Urban designation previously. There is a small pocket of Rural down here, and this is within the Rural designation for LUPAG. Here is an aerial photograph of the site. What I have done is just, I didn't bound the coastal area, of course, but you can see where that is, but these are the property lines for the property here. You can see that it's undeveloped, somewhat vegetated typically with kiawe trees and buffet grass. There are some, there is one main gulch and other smaller gulches that run through the property. And then, take note of the residential development just mauka where you can see that there is a number of residential structures already constructed. Here is a conceptual site plan of the proposed project, which includes the six-lot subdivision. There is a lot going on here, but, hopefully, you had a chance to look in the exhibits. Not only is the lots—you can see one, two, three, four, five, six they have the entrances, they have the entrance, excuse me, shoreline access, parking, the ala loa trail, which runs along the base here, and then these areas are preservation around different sites that have been previously recorded. 2 EXHIBIT B
