HAYASHI:Thank you. Thank you Mr. Chair. Going to the location map the subject property is indicated by this red dot. It is situated along the mauka side of the Hawai¡i Belt Highway also known as Mamalahoa Highway and also Highway 11. This would be in the Hilo direction and this would be in the Kona direction. This particular area is the Hawaiian Ocean View Rancho Subdivision. We also have the Kula Kai View Estates Subdivision and the Kona Garden Estates Subdivision. The green shaded areas on the mauka side are the lots within the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates Subdivision, which the subject property is a part of. Adjacent and to the north, excuse me west is the Ocean View Town Center, which currently houses the Ace Hardware Store as well as some other retail outlet. Further towards the west at this particular intersection is the Pohue Plaza which includes the Ocean View Mart market and some other commercial establishment. The Applicant is requesting that the current permit be amended by deleting the south storage facility and replacing the 3,000 square foot mini mart to a 15,600 square foot market and that is indicated in this yellow outlined area. Also proposed is to construct a 2-story, 5,700 square foot commercial retail structure which would house uses such asareal-estateoffice,financialinstitution,restaurant,videorental,personalserviceslikea hairstylist, tourist shop and other type of uses, similar uses. The Applicant also intends to retain the gas station that was previously, which was just approved under the current permit. The height of the proposed building would be approximately 26 feet and the maximum allowable height within this area would be 45 feet so theyre well below the height limit for that area. This proposed facility would employ approximately 30 full-time individuals and the cost of development would be about 3.5 million dollars. The property would access again going to this map, the site map this would be the Hawai¡i Belt Highway going towards Kona and this would be again in the Hilo direction. This is Lotus Blossom Lane and access would be from Lotus Blossom Lane at this particular location in the mid-section of the property. There are no public water system for this area so private water tanks will be constructed to accommodate the uses within the area. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this amended request with revised conditions to the original permit. And Condition, excuse me with the revised con- yeah, conditions to the original permit. And if I may direct your attention to proposed condition 2 or amended condition 2. We had made some changes to that particular condition and at the very end we would like to also add and this is the last sentence and it will include the following: Landscaping shall be indicated on the plans and the bracketed area are to be deleted for the purpose of mitigating any adverse noise or visual impacts to adjacent properties. And this is the new section that we had proposed initially, In accordance with the requirements of the Planning Departments Rule 17 Landscaping Requirement and wed like to add to that to read In accordance with the requirements of the Planning Departments Rule No. 17 Landscaping Requirement Standards for Village Commercial Zones adjoining a RS zone. And this is consistent with some of the language that we have used recently over the past couple of meetings. And also in light of the suggestion or recommendation by the State Department of Transportation in its memorandum, recent memorandum requesting that TIARs be submitted. We are recommending that a new condition 13 be included and this would state, A Traffic Impact Analysis Report or TIAR shall be submitted for the review and approval by the State Department of Transportation prior to receipt of final Plan Approval. And conditions 13 through 16 would be renumbered accordingly. Are there any questions at this time? GALDONES:Commissioners any questions of Norman? EXHIBIT C 2
