The location map that you’re seeing shows the subject property outlined in red. It’s located just, just off of Māmalahoa Highway, just to the east of Waimea. Permit history is: Special Permit number 1247 was first issued in 2004 to allow office and storage uses for investigative and collection services, towing service, short-term parking for repossessed or disabled vehicles on 14,273 square foot portion of 5.006-acre parcel; the permit was amended by the Planning Commission in 2010 to allow them to—sorry—to extend the five-year permit life; the permit was amended again in 2017 by the Planning Commission to remove the permit life and to have the permit run with the current owner, to increase the hours of operation, to increase the number of stored vehicles from 20 to 135, and to increase the permit area from 14,273 square feet to 1.67 acres: the permit was amended again in 2018 by the Planning Commission to allow the after-fact operation of motor vehicle and motorcycle inspection station, to delete condition number 4, water usage calculations, and condition number 7, solid waste management plan, and to allow a time extension to complete condition number 5, to secure final plan approval, and condition number 6, to secure and finalized permits to convert the barn to a vehicle repair shop. So, currently the applicant is requesting the following amendments to Special Permit number 1247: to amend condition number 3 to change the owner’s name from David McCullough Trust to David McCullough and John Roth, partners under the Hawai‘i Civil Union Act, and Mark and Diana Farias, a married couple; to amend condition number 6 to require that building, plumbing, and electrical permits to convert the barn into a vehicle repair shop basically to finalize within two years from the effective date of this amended permit; and finally, to amend condition number 7 to allow hours of operation for the inspection station from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, inspections will still be conducted by appointment only. So, the county zoning for the subject property is Ag-5 acres, and you can see on this map there’s primarily Ag of various sizes surrounding the subject property, Ag-1 acre in green, Ag-40 acres in lighter blue or medium blue, Ag-10 acres. There is a Family Agricultural-3 acres on just opposite this subject property on the opposite side of the highway. State Land Use is all Agricultural designation in this entire surrounding area. And the General Plan designates this property Important Agricultural Lands. Nearby is Rural and also Extensive Agriculture. This is the applicant’s site plan, and it shows, it’s perhaps a little hard to read, but if you can see the dash, the larger building with dashes, that’s the existing shop building, and just to the right of that is the existing modular building with the offices. And just about that collection of structures is the existing two-story farm dwelling with its garage and carport. And there is landscape buffering that you can see designated all around the surrounding, or the property boundaries. This is an aerial photograph of the subject property. You can see again on the lower bottom side of the property is the project area that we are addressing, and just north of that, above that, is the Farm dwelling. 2 EXHIBIT B
