No new water source will be established within the project site. #6 Condition: This Condition shall be included in the Special Use Permit. The Application states that the County of Hawaii General Plan classifies the project site as "Important Agricultural Lands." The permit shall state that the project site is on"Important Agricultural Lands." In addition, the permit must include legend/key for Figures 4, 5, and 6; State Land Use, Zoning and LUPAG. Applicant's Response: Figures identifying State Land Use, Zoning and LUPAG map designations for the project area is a part of the Special Permit application that is part of official record regarding this proceeding, with the respective land use designations narrated both within the application as well as the Planning Director's background report. The Applicant will defer to the Commission if additional clarification to the Figures contained within the record is necessary. #7 Condition: This Condition shall be included in the Special Use Permit. The permit shall describe the adjacent affected HCCA(sic) community of Pana`ewa with data and a map identifying number of residences and population of Ag and residential lots and include detail regarding distance between the project site and adjacent DHHL lands. Applicant's Response: The Applicant will defer to the Windward Planning Commission regarding how best to respond to this proposed condition and how to acquire the requested information, although the Applicant did earlier provide the attached map to the KPFA President at her request. The Applicant does not have access to any population data specific to the DHHL agricultural and residential lots. We would believe that DHHL would be the repository for such information if deemed necessary for the purposes of this proceeding. #8 Condition: This Condition shall be included in the Special Use Permit. The permit shall include an acknowledgment that environmental injustices due to industrial and commercial development has impacted the surrounding HHCA communities adjacent and near the project area. Applicant's Response: As this proposed condition seeks a specific statement to be made by the Windward Planning Commission, the Applicant must defer any decision on this matter to the County.
