would be in the Hamakua direction. This particular road is Kekuanaoa that goes towards the airport and this is Kanoelehua Avenue. The subject property is situated in close proximity to the Manono Street-Kekuanaoa Street intersection. This particular property shaded in purple is zoned Resort; and thats where the Waiakea Villas Resort Complex is situated. The Big Island Candies property is located by this brown shaded area in this general configuration. We also have some Neighborhood Commercial zoned properties indicated with these light pinks areas. Currently these properties are vacant but are being prepared for construction of a commercial or retail facility. The yellow shaded areas are areas that are currently within the Single Family Residential zoned district. The Tripp property, Kathy Tripp property that the Planning Commission reviewed and considered at the last Hilo meeting is situated adjacent to and the north of the subject property. And the Tripps also came in for a similar rezoning of Neighborhood Commercial 20,000 square feet. Nowgoingtothesitemap,againasamatteroforientation,thiswouldbeManonoStreet.The applicant intends to construct a 7,200 square foot one-story building and basically create 900 square foot bays. And these bays would be used for either retail or office use. Parking would be situated along this side of the property. The estimated cost of development for the property is approximately half a million dollars. The General Plan Land Use designation for this particular area is Medium Density Urban; and the 1975 Hilo Community Development Plan designates this area for Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet. The property is currently cleared and leveled. Its actually graveled and there is fencing around the particular property. Previously there was a dwelling situated on the property but that has since been demolished. Surrounding land uses include dwellings, as well as the Atebara Potato Chip factory is located diagonally across of the property. That is a nonconforming use which is situated on the property that is zoned Single Family Residential zoning. We also have some other commercial offices along Manono Street in close proximity to the subject property. Manono Street has a right-of-way width of 50 feet with a 20-foot or 22-foot pavement. And according to the City of Hilo Zone Map that particular roadway is proposed to be widened to 60 feet. So what would happen is that, as noted in one of the conditions of approval, is that the applicant would have to provide a 5-foot road widening strip along the frontage of Manono Street for the future improvements to Manono Street. Water is available to the property. And as far as sewage disposal, the sewage, the applicant will be hooking up into the County sewer system. As noted in the staffs background report, the Department of Public Works recommended that full improvements be provided along Manono Street, which would include the provision for pavement improvement as far as curbs, gutters and sidewalks. We are recommending approval of the subject request with conditions. These conditions are quite similar to those that were proposed for the Tripp application. Are there any questions at this time? 2EXHIBIT B
