submitted a proposed site plan identifying the layout, as well as proposed floor plans and elevations of the structures. The applicant is proposing to construct two buildings. Within each building there are going to be four dwelling units. Two of the dwellingunits will be two- bedroom units. The other two will be three-bedroom units. Theres again a proposed parking layout. The concern is, or a condition to bring to your attention is Condition E which states that No structural improvements shall be allowed within the designated drainage easement (D-2) and areas designated Flood Zone A on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). That map should have been passed out to the Planning Commission so you can get an idea of where the Flood Zone A is in relation to this property. Identified on the site map is the drainage easement, but this map appears not to identify the Flood Zone A which comes out a little bit further here. Because of the fact that this change of zone is going to be going to Multiple-Family Residential, several conditions do kick in. One is affordable housing, I believe thats Condition O, as well, or ConditionN,aswellasfairsharerequirementsConditionO.ThePlanningDirectoris recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation to the Hawaii County Council. Are there any questions? GRAHAM:Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Although the application is talking about two buildings, the map that we have shows a potential third building. And then in places there are discussions about certain things and Im not sure if those things are based on two or three buildings. For example, the th Department of Water Supplys letter dated March 29 states that the applicants engineer has indicated that the development would need approximately 6,000 gallons a day. Now is that based ontwo buildings or three? Also, the very last page that we have here from the Planning Director it says only five septic systems are allowed on this property, each septic system can serve two units. So it looks like theyre talking about two buildings rather than three buildings. So are we going to make any decisions that affect three buildings? I mean, Im a little confused and Id like some clarification on how were going to handle this. In the future if they decide to putupathirdbuilding,dowehavetogototallybacktothedrawingboardabouteverything, including water allocations and septic systems, or are we going to deal with those things now? Andifwearegoingtodealwiththemnowthenweshouldbereallyspecificinourwordingasto when were talking about septic systems and water allotments, whether were talking about two buildings or three. Does somebody want to talk about that or address that concern? YUEN:Well, reading the applicants mind, and you can ask them when they come up, but the problem here is that theyre limited to the number of units in the two buildings because of the Department of Healths rules on individual wastewater systems. Okay? So under those current rules they would only be allowed to put up the two building with the number of bedrooms that are shown. If those rules change or if there was a sewer line put along Ponahawai Street that they could tap into, the zoning would permit them to build additional units on the site. They would have to be able to get water commitments for those at that time. But the zoning would allow it. SIRACUSA:So, just to make sure I heard you right, and for the record, basically everything were talking about here is based on two buildings, and not three? The number of 2EXHIBIT C
