Just for a brief overview, the area of this application is within North Kohala. More specifically, we are looking on the Mahukona Coast. This is Akoni Pule Highway running in a north-south direction. The project location is identified with the wording as well as a dot. The zoning for the property is currently Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet. Change of Zone 97-102 was approved in July 1997 to change the zoning from Agricultural 5 acres to Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet. The applicant is requesting a 5-year time extension for Condition C of Change of Zone Ordinance 97-102, which is to secure final subdivision approval. Additionally, the applicant is requesting a time extension of 5 years for Condition 4 of SMA 379, which was approved in August 1997 for a 50-lot single-family residential subdivision. Condition 4 is also to secure final subdivision approval. The Planning Director is initiating revocation of SMA 379. So we’ll go through this. This is a continued hearing for these applications. We do have an aerial shot of the location. Kohala Ranch entrance is just located on the mauka side of the Highway of this project. Again, we have the project location, which I’ll keep up on the map. As you had mentioned, we have received one correspondence for this application since our last hearing, dated April 7, 2008, which appears to be a correspondence that was directed to the Hawaii County Council. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Any questions, Fellow Commissioners, of Mr. Darrow? Okay. With that, then I guess we can proceed by calling up Mr. Lim, the representative for Kohala LLC. I guess I need to swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? LIM: I do. WATANABE: Yes. And for the record, your full name and address, please. LIM: Steven Lim from Carlsmith. P. O. Box 686, Hilo, 96721. I’m representing Kohala LLC today. WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Mr. Lim, as I stated earlier, technically the hearing is closed. And I’m wondering -, would you want this accepted as part of the record -? LIM: That’s correct. WATANABE: The recent correspondence? LIM: That’s correct, Mr. Chairman. And we’d ask the Planning Commission reopen the hearing in this matter just for the limited purpose of introducing that into the record. We had stipulated early on that we would have a consolidated hearing. And this is probably going to be my last submittal to the Council; so I want that to be a part of your records also. WATANABE: Thank you. EXHIBIT A 3
