itself the existing 326-foot tower is one of three existing telecommunication towers on the property. The existing 326-foot tall tower has been on the property since 1963. There is a second tower located roughly here, which has been on the property since 1997, and that's 150-foot, 152-foot tall tower . And then not shown on the site plan but roughly in this area is a third tower, 140-foot tall, 145-foot tall tower. And all were permitted in one form or another and have been on the property and in operation since 1963, '97, and 2000. Okay. Here is the applicant's proposed elevation plan, and actually, on the left-hand side here is just kind of a floorplan or the detail of the compound, the 45, the 45-by 45-foot project area, and on the right-hand side is the elevation plan for the new proposed 260-foot tower. The zoning for the subject property and some of the surrounding area is Agricultural as is indicated in the light green. Again, the subject property is outlined here in red. Makai of the property and closer to the highway here is Single-Family Residential zoning and Neighborhood and Village Commercial zoning. The State Land Use designation for the subject property is Agricultural as indicated in green, and makai of the property, and consistent with the Commercial and Residential zoning, is Urban as indicated in red. And the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject property and some of the surrounding area as Low Density Urban as indicated in the mustard color, and makai of that is Medium Density Urban as indicated in the orange color, and then some Important Agricultural Land on the bottom right-hand side. The Kona CDP designates the subject property as within a Rural TOD area. Subject property is generally in the location of this star, and the blue line indicates the Rural TOD area as designated by the CDP. Here are some aerial photos of the subject property. Again, the upper left-hand corner is more zoomed out showing the property in this case outlined in a light green color. And you can see some of the uses in the surrounding area—some commercial, multiple-family residential,pardon me, some commercial and single-family residential and other vacant uses surrounding. The closest dwelling is, by my measurement, roughly 190 feet to the northwest of the closest corner of the proposed tower. So that's generally this structure here. On the lower right you'll see a zoomed in portion of the subject property. Again, this is the existing 326-foot tall tower here, the other two tower structure's here, and in red here is the general location of the proposed 260-foot tower. Again, this existing structure on the property will be demolished and make way for the new tower. Here are a couple of photographs of the paved access road entering the property, and then within the property a view of the gravel access road, both between nine and 12 feet wide and in good drivable condition. Again, the use is not expected to generate much, if any, traffic other than maintenance use roughly once a month, or as needed. 3 EXHIBIT B
