applicant secured State Land Use Boundary Amendments - - - of the subject parcels. As each of those parcels was under 15 acres, they were able to do so through the Planning Commission and the County Council. And the General Plan designation for, under the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map, for the subject parcels is largely Urban Expansion as is indicated by the thatched design. There is some Low Density Urban to the bottom of the screen, indicated in yellow, and some Medium Density Urban in the upper left that's consistent with other Multiple-Family Residential zoning in the area. The Kona Community Development Plan designates this area within the Kona Urban Area as is indicated by the red line. And the, the subject parcels here outlined again in red and blue are right in the middle of the Kahului-Puapua`a Village Neighborhood Transit Oriented Development area, and we'll get into what that means a little bit more later. Here is an aerial photograph of the subject properties with the Puaa property again outlined in red and Suffolk outlined in blue. So, as you can see, mauka of Puaa you've got the subdivision here, and then makai of Suffolk you've got the Kahakai Estates Subdivision here. The properties are generally vacant of any improvements or structures. In compliance with some conditions of approval of the subdivision, there was a paved road built here in this area, and that's consistent with a utility corridor. Here is the applicant's proposed site plan entitled the "Pualani Makai —A Master Planned Community," and encompasses both properties. The plan shows two accesses from Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway - - - at the top of the screen: One is on the left here across from Puapua`anui Street; and the other further to the right is the mauka-most terminus spine road that's required by the existing ordinances. That spine road intersects with Kuakini Highway, which is generally running in this area towards the bottom on the makai side of the larger area. The Puaa Development property outlined again in red on the mauka side depicts a commercial office center here on the left-hand side and the associated parking, for the middle of the property there you can see what is meant to be a drug store area, and mauka of that is the proposed bus transfer station, and then further to the right of the screen is proposed areas for about 100 units of multiple-family residential. And as I mentioned before, there is a bit of discrepancy between what is in the application in terms of the number of multiple-family residential units in the Puaa property whereas they said 100, but there are another 50 multiple-family residential units being shown on their site plan here just makai of the commercial area. For the Suffolk property, further makai - - -the proposed 260-unit multiple-family residential development. Finally, the site plan does depict a few archaeological sites that are shown on the larger area, and they don't appear to be directly located upon the existing Puaa or Suffolk property. Here are some site photos showing surrounding roadways of the subject parcels. The photo on the upper left shows Kuakini Highway heading toward Kailua-Kona. The upper right is a view of the same highway heading the opposite direction, with the intersection of the Kahakai Estates Subdivision here on the right. On the bottom left is a view of Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway looking toward Kailua-Kona; this is at the Puapua`anui Street intersection, with the subject property that being Puaa Development, on the right-hand side. And then the bottom right is Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway looking the other direction, with the subject property on the left-hand side. 5 EXHIBIT D
