If I can direct the Commissioners’ attention to our location map, the area of this application is within the Kau district of Hawaii. More specifically, we are looking at Naalehu town. Running in an east-west direction, we have Mamalahoa Highway that runs directly through the town. This way would be towards Pahala town towards the east, and towards the west we would be going towards the Ocean View area. EXHIBIT B 1
