The applicant in this case,Kenneth M. Verosko is requesting a special permit to allow the addition of a smoothie stand to this existing south kona fruit stand business. If I can direct your attention to the site map that was submitted by the applicant. This line here running across the lower portion of the map is Mamalahoa Highway. Again running in a north-south direction. The existing fruit stand business has a paved driveway access that is- that accesses ingress and egress onto Mamalahoa Highway. This area here is where the existing fruit stand business is located and the area in red is where the proposed smoothie stand will be located on the property. The applicants have recently submitted a revised site plan. That should have been passed out to all the members of the Commission. Its basically lowering the size of the smoothie stand from 20 feet by 30 feet to 14 by 14. They will still include a small kitchen within the structure but there will be no bathroom facilities within it.
