The applicant is requesting to construct a single-family residence on that 0.38-acre shoreline parcel. It's a two-story home with 3,017 square feet of interior space, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and various other rooms. Additional development includes the attached garage, lanai, swimming pool which will be about 56 feet by 8 feet, and of course residential-type landscaping. The total development area for the residents is 4,798 square feet. The home will be connected to the existing utility lines, sewer, water, electric, that are already established within the Kona Bay Estates Subdivision. Here is a County Zoning map. So you can see the subdivision there, kind of on the bottom of the screen in the RS, or Single-Family Residential, 15,000-square foot zoning designation. Just mauka of that is the Limited Industrial, which would be the Old Kona Airport, and actually Limited Industrial does include the recreation area. And then you have a Mixed Industrial Commercial zoning that would be across the road further mauka. The sandy area that you kind of see makai of that is a remnant of the mapping program, so really not indicative of the site conditions. So the site itself is outlined in red, and as you can see, it's one of the, it's the second to last lot in this subdivision. Here is the State Land Use. Everything is Urban. The LUPAG shows this entire area as Open. The subdivision is Open zoning. We see some Urban Expansion up in the center of the screen there and then of course Industrial zoning designation. So the entire area of the subject parcel and surrounding is Open zoning for the LUPAG. Here is an aerial photograph of the site looking from, you know, looking mauka. You can see that a majority of the parcels have been developed. One next door is still open. And it's outlined in red. Take note of the wall, that bound, you'll see a small green strip kind of at the base of the parcel; the wall which is a shoreline public access—and I'll talk a little bit more about that— demarcates that green boundary there. Here is another shot looking makai towards the ocean to give you some reference on how close it is to the ocean. You can see the lot is completely cleared and has been undergone a history of development starting with the creation of the subdivision back in 1951. Subsequent development included the establishment of the utilities, the construction of these retaining walls and boundary walls, and then of course some site grading that has gone on in the past. Here is a site plan. I kind of had to turn it a little bit just to show, so I put the west to north arrow to kind of give you some reference, but to your left would be the ocean and then mauka to your right. The shoreline, the certified shoreline, the applicant did get the certified shoreline, and that's in the thick red line. And then you see the public access kind of outlined in the shaded red. And then the 40-foot minimum shoreline setback is demarcated by the blue dashed line. So the applicant was able to establish the minimum 40-foot setback in site construction, you know, mauka of that. You have a full set of site plans, of course, presented to you as an exhibit. 2 EXHIBIT B
