the North Kona district. More specifically, we are looking at Hualalai Road that runs through the middle of the map. We have Kuakini Highway that’s running north-south on the left side of the map. The actual property itself is identified by a blue outline. This is just located very near the middle of the Kailua town. The applicant in this case – oh, I’m sorry, I wanted to show you an aerial – currently you can see that the property is vacant of structures and uses. There are single family dwellings located to the south as well as, I believe this is a retirement facility that is located just to the north of the property. There is a, you can see the subdivisions that are surrounding the property. The applicant is requesting a two-year time extension to Condition C to Change of Zone Ordinances Nos. 06 137 and 06 138 to be able to secure final plan approval. The reason that the applicant is actually here today is that the Ordinances require the applicant to secure final plan approval within two years from the amendment date of these Ordinances; and that did not occur; so the applicant had to come in for the time extension. They are also requesting a five-year time extension for the same condition, which is the portion that requires them to complete construction within five years. This is a tentative site plan that was submitted prior by the applicant. It kind of shows you the layout of the particular project. The project is going to consist of 146 multiple-family residential units. This is what the elevation of the two-story building is going to look like, as well as the three-story building. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for these time extension requests. Our Condition C, as you’ll notice, does not have the time for the final plan approval; so we are just allowing the five-year time extension. We are requesting that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for Condition C for just the five-year time extension to complete construction, so that the applicant won’t be tied by this two-year time limit to have to secure final plan approval. Additionally, this morning we received proposed conditions of approval from the applicant, which has been submitted to the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of staff? Yes, Ms. Bowman. BOWMAN: Just looking over what was given us, are there changes? I mean I can’t see the delineation of the changes that the applicant has -. WATANABE: I believe that would be on the last -. BOWMAN: Except for “additional” under C. Would they be underlined? I’m just trying to compare. DARROW: They are red. You’ll see the changes in red. HOUSEL: Page 3. EXHIBIT A 2
