HAYASHI:Well, let me backtrack a little bit. The existing driveways for this facility, this is the existing Big Island Candies facility. The primary access is at this location off of Hinano Street. And we also have an exit at this particular location off of Hinano Street. This already exists; and that particular driveway is basically for the employees parking to the rear of the property. So thats already permitted. SIRACUSA:Will that also be used for the trash pick-up trucks that Ms. Weeks was complaining about? HAYASHI:Okay, Im not too sure. So that question has to be -. SIRACUSA:Ill hold that one for Ben. HAYASHI:Yeah, but if I may complete my presentation. SIRACUSA:Okay. ALAMEDA:Yes, you may. HAYASHI:Okay, according to the applicant, there will be no significant increase in employeesasaresultoftheadditionofthisnewstoragefacility.Theimprovementcostswould be $2.5 million according to the applicant. There is, for those of you who are familiar with the area, an existing church is at this particular location. So the Big Island Candies facility will surround an existingchurch, which is the Alpha and Omega Church; and that was granted by use permit back in 1984. As I indicated earlier, there are some other Commercial zoned properties in the area, as well as Single Family Residential uses. The current General Plan is Medium Density Urban development; therefore the General Commercial zoning is not an appropriate zoning under that General Plan category. However, the Director is initiating an amendment to the General Plan. All of you have or will be receiving a copy of that proposed amendment to the General Plan; and basically the area surrounding the Big Island Candies facility including the two areas under consideration today are being proposed for High Density Urban development. So basically as our recommendation would show that we will be recommending approval; and the effective date of the zone change would be upon the approval of the General Plan Amendment that would appear before you and subsequently to the County Council. We did receive a letter from Debra Weeks, an adjacent property owner, and she lives across the street of Laukapu Street; and that would be at this particular location. All of you received a copy of that letter; and the applicant also provided some response to Ms. Weeks concerns. Going to the recommendation, we are recommending approval with several conditions. And we also will be adding a new Condition E, which we circulated, and thats the yellow sheet. And it basically states that, and Ill read that, a new Condition E, A 5-foot wide future road widening strip along the Hinano Street and Laukapu Street frontages shall be subdivided and dedicated to the County within 5 (five years) from the effective date of this ordinance. And all other conditions will be realphabetized. 3EXHIBIT C
