thats not within the parcel. But the parcel has, it was the site of the first battle, the decisive battle, in the first war of Maui and Hawaii. That battle gives the place names of many of the Puus and other areas in Waimea. So its a very important part of our history and on our viewshed. We also looked at State Land Use. You can see the parcel, on the State Land Use district its in an Agricultural district. That means thats the white big parcel right north of Waimea there, the Urban area on the other side of the black line, south of the green. So that whole area is State Ag. And all were asking is that the County change the zoning from Ag-1a to some Agricultural, some zoning category that would allow its current uses which includes grazing and it not be Ag-1a any more. Thats what it looks like if you overlay the tax map key and the zoning map. Its outside of the Urban boundary. Its a Hokulia in the making. So the General Plan unfortunately extends the Urban boundary out there where it really doesnt need to be; and the community hasnt wanted it to be for 30 years. But thats it. Thank you very much. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Commissioners, you have any questions about the powerpoint oryou,anyinteresttorevisitsomeofthoseslides?Ifnot,anyquestionsforMr.Hunter?Oh, Commissioner Graham, sorry, and then Commissioner Siracusa. GRAHAM:So in terms of the specific text thats in front of us now, which is the General Plan, the General Plan LUPAG Map for that area currently is Agriculture, I presume. HUNTER:No. Its not. The Urban boundary goes into that area. GRAHAM:So youre asking us to move the Agricultural boundary further south into that area or -? HUNTER:Right. GRAHAM:Okay. ALAMEDA:Okay, Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA:And also that it not be Ag-1a, but it be something like Ag-20 or Ag-40? HUNTER:We were suggesting something like, since the parcel size is 420 Ag-500. The community just doesnt want to see a house up there even if one person bought it. SIRACUSA:I understand that, you know, whenever I drive through Waimea I always look at the puu and I think how beautiful it is and how great it would be if it would stay like that forever. And so I have a question of the Director then. And its what would he see as a viable process for making this happen? ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:Well, my first step would be to write DLNR and see if they would have an objection to the County initiating a rezoning of it, cause I dont know what their plans are. I dont think that they have any plans for the area but I dont know that specific -. 16EXHIBIT C
