Resort -Hotel – 7,500 square feet, and then across Kilauea Avenue, which runs north to south in this picture, you have a Single -Family Residential –10,000 square feet. Just for reference, here is the Cafe 100 lot right there, so it's directly across the grassy area and Maile Street from Cafe 100. The State Land Use Boundary Map shows the entire area in the Urban State Land Use District with a pond being in the Conservation State Land Use District. Here's the General Plan LUPAG Map showing the General Plan for the area. The majority is High Density Urban, and then the pond area shows Conservation and Open area, some remnants there. I'm not sure why the line is drawn like that, but it appears trying to take in the park and the pond area also, but the majority of the area as we see surrounding the project site is that High Density Urban. Here is an aerial photograph of the project area. You can see, just referenced again, Cafe 100, Maile Street, Kilauea Avenue, and there is the project site outlined in yellow. This is a 2013 aerial photograph showing the extent of overgrowth that was on the project site prior to them turning into a parking area. I guess it was heavily infested with rats and, you know, junk, and so the current applicant cleaned it, removed that, and turned it into a parking area for the buildings next door. For reference, on the left is a tmk map; on the right is the easement that afforded this property to use Maile Street to access. So, access will not come from Kilauea; it will come from Maile Street as you'll see in the site plan coming up, but, I just wanted to show that they did have deeded, a deeded easement across the State property that affords them unimpeded access down Maile Street to the property. Here's a site plan. As you can see, Maile Street on the top, and the entrance, and then the building kind of in the center of the project site. This is a landscaping plan. They've done a good job of trying to use landscaping to help mitigate any view plane impacts, and because its in the SMA, they'll be using native species following the rules and regarding that landscaping in the Special Management Area. So, they have a extensive landscaping plan showing the different types of plants and locations. Here is the property entrance, the current property entrance at Maile Street looking west toward Kilauea. So, you can see, everybody I think, knows this area but here it is, standing at the current entrance looking towards Kilauea. This is the property entrance looking down Maile Street towards Waiakea pond, and you can see the grassy area of the park and the pond in the background there. So, you can see that this view plane from Maile Street is unaffected by anything going on at the project site. Here standing in the middle of the project parcel where they have turned it into—it's not paved, but it is a sealed parking area with drainage structures that are already installed, but the site has nothing other than the parking area and some fencing and some drainage structures.
