This is an aerial photo of the area. The actual location is about in this particular area; so you’ll see that you have the subdivisions that are adjacent to the boundaries of the golf course area. And the actual golf course area is mainly unconstructed at this time. The applicant is requesting an amendment for an additional five years to comply with Condition 2, which is the construction timeline of SMA Use Permit No. 413. SMA 413 was originally approved to allow the development of a new 27-hole golf course, a driving range, clubhouse, related maintenance support facilities and associated improvements and infrastructure. The approval date was November 30, 2000. This is a figure within the Kona Community Development Plan that affects the subject property. The subject property is about in this general location. And you’ll see this purple-black line that runs through the property; this is identified as a shared path, or a bike/pedestrian path, that has been identified for this area in the Kona CDP. This is actually the alignment of the railroad right-of-way that runs through the property. As a result of that, we’ve added some language to Condition No. 12 that requires the applicant to implement this shared pathway through the property as part of their public access plan. This is a copy of the original site plan. The actual project is identified in green. You’ll see that they identify an area for the driving range, the clubhouse area, and you have the surrounding subdivisions identified on the map. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the amendment request for the additional five years. Are there any questions? GIFFIN: Commissioner, are there any questions of staff? HOUSEL: Yes. GIFFIN: Mr. Housel. HOUSEL: Jeff, you mentioned the trail where the old railroad line was. The conditions mention a couple of other trails. DARROW: Correct. HOUSEL: Where are those? DARROW: I believe one of them, I think that this is the alignment for the right-of-way as far as the Holua Slide. I’m not sure but this might be it. Correct? Yeah. If, maybe when the applicant’s representative comes forward, they can more specifically identify the existing trails on the property. HOUSEL: Okay, thank you. GIFFIN: Any other questions of Jeff. Jeff, I would like to ask in terms of our rules and regulations; howmany times may an applicant come in before us to request an extension? 2 EXHIBIT A
