So this is the application for Amy Hagen-Cowell Trust. It's a State Land Use Boundary Amendment application and a Change of Zone application. The location map shows the subject property in red, it's a small red dot there,just mauka of Mamalahoa Highway near Kealakekua Bay and south of Kailua-Kona town. The applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 6.875 acres of land and a Change of Zone from Aricultural-1 Acre, A-la, to Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet, or RS-10, zoning for 6.875 acres of land. The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel into 15 lots, consisting of a minimum of 14,000-square foot each. The applicant is also proposing to construct a new County-dedicable standard road to service the proposed subdivision from Hawaii Belt Road, or Mamalahoa Highway, to the north, mauka, of the intersection with Alii Drive. Additionally, the applicant proposes to construct a 12-foot- wide paved outbound access road within a 20-foot-wide easement to access Hawaii Belt Road from the southern end of the subject property. Accordingsorry, that's blocked there but, according to the applicant, the proposed Change of Zone and subdivision is intended to help address the market housing needs of the community. While this is not an affordable housing project, the applicant will be required to comply with the County's housing code related to affordable housing. According to the applicant, a subdivision application would be filed immediately after the granting of the Change of Zone and State Land Use Boundary Amendment requests. The applicant anticipates having the property subdivided by the beginning of 2023, and the estimated cost of the project to be around 2 million dollars. This is the County Zoning Map showing the subject property outlined in red right there in the middle of the screen. You can see the property is currently zoned A-la, which is Agricultural-1 2 EXHIBIT E
