COMMISSIONERS: Good morning. COTTLE: And IÓd just like to say welcome to our new commissioner, Dickie Nelson. ItÓs good to have you here with us. I hope you enjoy your time as a commissioner. The first item is an amendment to a Use Permit that Parker School received back in 2005, and this is actually a continued hearing from the November 20, 2009, few months, IÓm going to go ahead and go through the presentation just to re-orient everybody to the location of the property. The first map shows the zoning of the subject properties and surrounding area. You have Mmalahoa Highway running on the bottom of the slide in an east- west direction here. Lindsey Road comes off kind of in a north-west direction here. And then you have Kawaihae Road, and then you also have KapiÒolani Road, as well as PuÒuk Road here. The Use Permit request area is outlined in black on the slide, and thereÓs actually four properties that make up the Use Permit request area; two of those properties are currently zoned Agricultural 1-acre and those are shown in the light green, and two other properties are currently zoned Single Family Residential and those are shown in the yellow Î those two properties get access off of PuÒuk Road. The General Plan designation for this entire area actually is Medium Density Urban and thatÓs shown in orange on the slide. To the north is Low Density Urban designation and across Lindsey Road is Open, which denotes the area of the Waimea Park. So the applicant is requesting to expand the school complex on the existing property, as well as adjacent properties as shown on their master plan. And they are also requesting to allow the Waimea Community Education, which is a non-profit organization, to use the facilities for educational programs for all ages. And they are also requesting to remove the 90-student enrollment cap that was a requirement of the original Permit in This is the master plan for the school. You can see the existing Use Permit area for the elementary school as shown in a rounded dashed, dotted line, and that Permit area got access off of KapiÒolani Road Î you can see the parking lot is about half, currently, of the size thatÓs shown on the master plan. And this structure here is the current existing elementary school. The proposed request is to expand the school facilities onto, like I said before, four properties; one gets access off of PuÒuk Road and thatÓs shown here with a square dash line, another property is right here, and then the larger properties are outlined here. And this dot here is the proposed gymnasium. Where the marker is, here, is the proposed middle school. This is an existing warehouse on KapiÒolani Road that the applicant is proposing to use for classes, as well as the two exiting residential structures on these properties here. The Use Permit area does not contain, or does not include the existing campus thatÓs off of Lindsey Road near Kawaihae Road, but that would be mentioned in the Permit and a few of the conditions as well because we looked at the campus as a whole in considering this application. So the Department is recommending approval of the amendment requ just would like to go through a few of the conditions and kind of what has occurred since the last hearing. You should have received from the Planning Department a light yellow handout thatÓs called a Summary of Changes, and this packet of information includes a letter from the applicant, th from Parker School, dated February 8. In that letter they described the efforts that theyÓve 2 EXHIBIT A
