CARR SMITH: Very good, thank you. All right. Christian, please proceed with your presentation. KAY: Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. If you give me a moment, I'll switch on my screen here. CARR SMITH: Okay. KAY: And, can everybody see it there? CARR SMITH: Good. KAY: Okay. Again, as you stated, these are, the next two agenda items, we are going to do one presentation for the both of them, given that there is a connection between the two, both geographically as well as from an ownership standpoint. And, essentially, the two properties are being designed as part of one larger master-planned community. The subject properties here outlined in red for Puaa Development and in blue for Suffolk Investment are situated in the North Kona district of Hawaii Island. For reference, we've got Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway running generally north-south through the slide in the middle here, and also a little bit further makai, we've got Kuakini Highway again generally running north-south through the slide. For further location reference, we've got Pualani Estates here mauka of the Puaa property shown in the yellow, and then makai of the Suffolk property, we've got Kahakai Estates Subdivision, and that's makai here of Kuakini Highway. So I just want to go through the existing entitlements and what was proposed initially and now the current proposed project. For the Suffolk property, Ordinance No. 05-113 was approved on August 5, 2005, to change the zoning from an Agricultural-5 acre zoning designation to a Multi-Family Residential-2,500 square foot zoning designation for 14,872 acres. The applicant originally proposed at the time a 250-unit market-rate rental housing development, with the 300-stall parking lot and a one-plus-acre park. The applicant is currently proposing to reduce the number of rental units to 226 and intends to develop open space and a passive recreation area. For the Puaa Development property, which is approved under Ordinance 05-115 on August 5, 2005, that changed the zoning from Agricultural-5 acres to Neighborhood Commercial-20,000 square feet for 14.973 acres. The applicant in that case initially proposed to develop a neighborhood commercial shopping center, including a 93,600-square foot complex that would house varied commercial uses, such as financial institutions and office spaces. Also proposed was a 500-plus parking stall lot, with appropriate accessibility requirements. The applicant is currently proposing a reduction in the size of the commercial project from 93,600 square feet to 72,600 square feet. Also included in this current proposal is the inclusion of a transit hub in the form of a public bus transfer station, as well as the addition of 100 multiple-family residential units. I will note here that in the application it spoke about 100 multiple-family residential units on the Puaa Development property; however, when we get through the site plan, you'll see that it's actually 150 multiple-family dwelling units shown on the site plan on that property. So there is a bit of discrepancy between the application and what's on the site. So the next two slides list the applicant's amendment requests that the Chair read at the beginning, so instead of re-reading through all of them, I'll leave them on the screen for you to read. And so 3 EXHIBIT D
