DARROW:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I may direct your attention to the location map. The area of this application is within the North Kohala district of Hawai`i. This white line running across the bottom of the map is the Akoni Pule Highway running in a north-south direction. This way towards north Kohala and this way towards Kawaihae. The area more specifically of this application is within the Kohala Estates Subdivision. The actual property is identified with the right red dot located at this point. You would travel on- north on Akoni Pule Highway, you would take a right onto Ala Kahua Drive and proceed approximately a half a mile, and the property is located on the left side of the road almost directly across from the Pua Mau Botanical Gardens that’s also located in the area. The applicants in this case, Kimi Cook Walls and Robert Walls, are requesting a change of zone for their property of 7.74 acres of land from an Agricultural-5 acre to a Family Agricultural-3 acre zoned district. More specifically on the site plan if you were travelling from the highway up you would come across the property on the left side of the road. On the property there is a single family dwelling that’s located approximately in this area. The applicants are going to be requesting to sub-, further subdivide this property if approved, be able to retain one portion and sell the other with the property that has the single family dwelling. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for this application to the County Council. Are there any questions? GALDONES:Commissioners, any questions of Mr. Darrow? Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Thank you. Is the language that we’re working off of now from the newly approved General Plan? DARROW:At this point when we were working on this application we were working actually from the previous General Plan. SPRINGER:And the LUPAG maps also? DARROW:Correct. SPRINGER:Thank you. GALDONES:Seeing no further questions from the Commissioners, will the applicant or his representative please step forward. Good morning, Mr. Fuke. Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? FUKE:I do.
