Harbor as well. Areas across of the Harbor are indicated in gray, shaded in gray, and are areas that are zoned for either General Commercial or Limited Industrial Commercial zoning. This particular area indicated in this yellow shaded color is the Hawaiian Home Subdivision in Keaukaha. This particular roadway is Kalanianole Street going towards Keaukaha; and this would be in the Hilo direction. This would be Kanoelehua Avenue, or also referred to as the Volcano Highway. This particular area is the Banyan Drive area. Going to the site map, this again is Kalanianaole Street going towards Keaukaha. The existing Harbor Road is located off of this map in this general area. If you look at this particular map, this is the roadway or the driveway that leads into the Harbor. There’s also a new secondary access road at this particular location; and that would be generally at this particular location. The SMA line as indicated on this particular property is this particular line. It’s difficult to see but it runs along Kalanianaole Avenue and juts out, a portion, within the Keaukaha subdivision or Hawaiian Home Subdivision. So anything makai of the Highway in this particular line is within the SMA. The current Matson office building is located adjacent Kuhio, existing access to the Harbor in this general location. What the applicant intends to do is to relocate from this existing office and relocate to this particular area. They would be constructing a 1700-plus square foot modular office building that would house their sales office, auto inspection area, a conference room, and they also have their parking in this particular area. Their basic access to this facility would be from this secondary access road. And this particular area is currently gated for security reasons. Once this facility is constructed, then they would use the access from this particular roadway. These are existing structures indicated on this map. These are existing structures within the Harbor area. The Gas Company facility is located in this particular location. We also have the Aloha Petroleum Complex at this particular area. The modular office building would be one story in height and it won’t be visible from the Kalanianaole Street. The structure will be a substantial distance from the shoreline. The estimated development cost of this particular property would be approximately $400,000. The current General Plan is Industrial. As I indicated earlier this area is zoned for General Industrial. The wastewater would be hooked up to the existing sewer line along Kalanianaole Avenue. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this particular request subject to conditions. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Thanks, Norman. Just for sense of scale, that 1760 square feet is probably more or less the same as this room here, would you say? HAYASHI: I think it will be much larger than this. It’s 20 by, according to the plan submitted, the building will be approximately 20 feet by 88 feet long. GRAHAM: Okay, thank you. Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Yes. I noticed in the conditions, Condition No. 2, landscaping shall be indicated on the plans pursuant to Rule 17. But in the applicant’s application it says that, let’s see, 4.A Description of Environmental Setting, it says that “the project site is largely unvegetated and paved, and only occupied by weed species at the pavement periphery.” So I’m wondering does Rule17 not apply on the general area or was that a noncompliance with Rule 17 from the previous development?
