outlined in red. The subject property is located at 64-550 Mamalahoa Highway. The subject property is located on the north side of Mamalahoa Highway, approximately 750 feet west of its intersection with Kipahele Street, Pu`ukapu Homesteads 2nd Series, Waimea, South Kohala, TMIK 6-4-017:042. The applicant is requesting a five-year time extension to comply with Condition C to obtain final subdivision approval in order to subdivide the existing 17.88-acre lot into three separate five-plus-acre lots. So the applicant's reason for the request, according to the applicant, efforts were made to obtain final subdivision approval prior to the administrative time extension deadline of September 1, 2021. The applicant was unable to do so for the following reasons: Much of that subdivision process was deferred to a family member who has a thriving coffee farm in Kona, and that preoccupied much of their time resulting in a delay in that process; the initial surveyor hired for the project suddenly moved out of state, forcing the applicant to find another surveyor to complete the task; finding another surveyor proved to be difficult during the worldwide pandemic that we've currently been experiencing; despite the preceding, the applicant secured the tentative subdivision approval from the Planning Department on November 27, 2020; the applicant needs the additional time to meet the requirements of the tentative approval to secure final subdivision approval. Here we have the county zoning map. The property is outlined in red. The subject parcel and properties immediately to the east and west are zoned Agricultural 5-acres. Other surrounding areas are zoned Agricultural 1-acre and Agricultural 40-acres. State Land Use Boundary map. The subject parcel and all immediate surrounding properties hold the State Land Use designation of Agricultural. Subject property is split between the Important Agricultural Lands and Extensive Agriculture LUPAG designation. The immediate neighboring properties are similarly designated as either Extensive Agriculture or Important Agricultural Lands. Other properties in the area hold the LUPAG designation of Rural, as well as Low Density Urban. Here we have the preliminary subdivision plat submitted by the applicant as a part of their tentative approval. Represented here are the three proposed five-plus-acre lots labeled 1 through 3 and shown in pink, green, and blue. Please note that this map has been modified from the original, with the color and numbering for ease of reading. The aerial photographs of the site here we see two aerials: The one on the left depicts the entire 17.88-acre site with the neighborhood context, and the photo on the right depicts a more zoomed-in view of the subject site in its relation to Mamalahoa Highway, as well as neighboring homes. Site photos—so this is from a site visit I did here and (indiscernible–poor connection) Planning Department photos the site photo depicts the existing single-family dwelling, as well as the property's Mamalahoa Highway frontage.
