various zoning districts and as I indicated the gray shaded areas are zoned for general industrial. The blue area, darker blue areas are areas that are zoned agricultural 40 acres. We have open zoning in this darker shaded green. We also have, this would be the Mauna Kea Resort area where we have resort zoning, multiple residential, single-family residential. The Applicant intends to rezone the property into a mixed commercial industrial zoning 1-acre for the 1.3-acre property and that would be this particular property, which is situated along the makai side of Akoni Pule Highway. Surrounding the subject property are lands owned by the, well actually its government land which is a, an Executive Order was issued to the County of Hawai i and this would be this 4+ acre area which wraps around the subject property. Immediately to the north of the property is the Kawaihae lighthouse property. So this is actually a shoreline property except for this portion here, which is owned by the County by Executive Order. The Applicant is requesting the zone change in order to offer long term leases or lease to, by public auction to any individual or individuals. At this particular time the specific uses are unknown and when the Applicant issues those leases to the, to an individual then the individual will have tocomeinforaseparateSpecialManagementAreaUsePermitapplicationsincethepropertyis situated within the SMA. The land is currently vacant. There are kiawe trees as well as buffalo grass. Prior to 1959 the property was used as a temporary cattle-holding pen for, by Parker Ranch for shipping to the cattle out of this, the Kawaihae Harbor area. The again, the adjacent shoreline property is owned by the County by Executive Order and a portion of that property is being utilized by Kawaihae Canoe Club. The Kawaihae Canoe Club in the review of the draft environmental assessment did indicate that they had no objections to the proposal by the State. The General Plan for this particular area is Industrial and again the property is within the SMA. Since the property is State owned they had to comply with Chapter 343 which was to do an environmental assessment as I indicated and they did publish that environmental assessment back in December of 2004 in the OEQC Bulletin. Water to the property is available and wastewater would be by individual wastewater system as approved by the Department of Health. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the request with proposed conditions. Are there any questions at this time? GALDONES:Commissioner any question of Norman? Commissioner McCall?
