The live-stream meeting was placed on hold and at 11:32 a.m. the Commission went into executive session. The live-stream meeting was reconvened at 11:59 a.m. HALL: For everyone, I am Malia Hall, Deputy Corporation Counsel for the Commission. They just wanted me to give an overview for everyone here and also for the public of kind of the procedures that will be happening today. The Commission has before it is Special Permit application that is greater than 15 acres thus if they were to motion for approval and that passed this would be processed and given to the Land Use Commission for a final decision. The Land Use Commission has the authority to approve with modifications or deny this this permit if the Commission puts it up for approval. On the other side of that if the Commission decides to deny this permit today, that it would not be forwarded to the Land Use Commission and would be appealable to the Third Circuit. Other than that, everybody will be allowed to give a presentation, the Commissioner's will be asking questions of everyone here the Applicant, the Intervenor, and the Department. If anybody else has any other questions before we proceed, I will pass it back to the Chair and I thank you all for being here today REPLOGLE: Thank you Ms. Hall. So, we will now proceed with our staff presentation, if there are no objection Planner Christian Kay will provide us with a brief presentation on the application before hearing from the parties. KAY: Thanks, Mr. Chair and I'll share my screen here just one moment please. Can everybody see the presentation on the screen? What about now? REPLOGLE: Yes. KAY: Alright, perfect. Just by way of a quick background here, everything that you're going to see on the screen came from the original presentation given in 2012. With the exception of the final slide which is just a timeline and that was pulled directly from the remand document that you are provided. Again, this is a Special Permit Application No. 12-138 for Connections New Century Public Charter School and CBESS. Okay hold on one moment and I'm being told that I have the wrong screen up. There we go. That's maybe a little bit better. The subject property is situated in the South Hilo District of Hawaii Island more specifically in the Kaumana area. For reference with that Kaumana Drive running generally this direction through the slide. The subject property is outlined in black and consists of about 70.15 acres. Property itself is split in the middle by Edita Street, which is running north south through the slide here. The zoning for the subject property and some of the surrounding areas is Agricultural 1-acre with other various Agricultural Single-Family Residential and Family Agricultural zoning in the area. The State Land Use designation for the subject property and much of the surrounding area is Agricultural as indicated in green with more Urban designations to the north here as indicated in pink. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject property within the Low-Density Urban designation. There are some Rural, Open, and Important Agricultural lands in the area as well. Here is an aerial photograph of the subject property again for reference we've got Kaumana Drive running this direction to the slide and Edita Street 3 EXHIBIT E
