Inc. is doing business as Pahoa Feed and Fertilizer. And they’re requesting to establish and expand a farm, feed and fertilizer supply store, as well as establish retail space, and professional offices, and a certified kitchen. The property is located just outside of Pahoa Village, along the Pahoa Village Road. It is outlined on the slide in red and it’s zoned Agricultural 1 acre. The Pahoa Bypass Road runs along the top of this slide here. There is also a commercially zoned area in the corner of Kahakai Boulevard, Pahoa Bypass and Pahoa Village Road, and a Mixed Commercial Industrial zoned area along the Bypass Road as well. The surrounding properties are zoned mainly Agricultural 1 acre, as well as some Residential to the south. The applicant submitted a site plan. The buildings shown in green are existing buildings. The one on the left is the existing feed supply store. It has actually been operating on the site for about nine years, for ten years, I stand corrected. And the building on the right-hand side is an existing dwelling. The applicant is proposing to convert this existing dwelling into the professional offices, as well as a certified kitchen. And then the buildings shown in blue is in an area where they’re requesting to expand the supply store business, as well as offer retail space for any tenant in the area to occupy. This is a photograph of the existing farm supply building, as well as the driveway off of Pahoa Village Road. And the next picture is, just across the driveway is the existing dwelling. There is also parking along, mainly that side is, well, there are a few parking spaces on the farm supply building side as well. Before I go into the Planning Director’s recommendation, you should have received quite a few letters of support for the project this morning as well as a petition with about 200 plus names of people who are in support of a health clinic being established on the site. But we were just given that petition this morning and became aware of the health clinic this morning. Prior to that we were under the impression that professional offices would go into the existing dwelling rather than a health clinic. You also probably received, let’s see, two other letters of support. One from Emily Naeole and from Virginia Aste. Aste? PUBLIC: Aste. COTTLE: Aste. Thank you. So with that the Planning Director is recommending approval of the request to establish the farm, feed and fertilizer supply store and is recommending denial of the request to expand the supply store and to establish retail space, professional offices and a certified kitchen. Are there any questions? 1 EXHIBIT B
