The State Land Use Designation for the subject properties is Agricultural as indicated in the green color. The Industrial zoning area to the north is also Urban as well as Urban indicated in the red color across the highway. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject properties as Medium Density Urban. Other designations in the area are Low Density Urban, Important Agricultural Lands, Extensive Agricultural and Industrial as well as some Conservation along the highway and Urban Expansion across the highway to the west. Here is the applicant's proposed site plan for Parcel 24, which is the parcel closest to the highway showing the proposed bottling facility, parking, and related improvements. Also, the applicant has secured a well permit for a well on Parcel 27 which in the near term will help support water for the facility. In addition, the applicant is proposing another well permit on Parcel 24 and once that is approved and developed then both wells will support the facility. Here is an aerial photograph of the subject parcels. Again, for reference we've got the highway running here on the left-hand side of the screen. As you can see there are other industrial type uses, most of which were approved by Special Permit in the area. This is again the Hawaiian Springs water bottling facility here, solar array in support of those projects and again the subject parcels are outlined in red here. You can see here is the location of the shed that is covering the well that was developed on Parcel 27. Here are some views of the roadways within the project area. View of Shipman Road looking mauka, the subject parcels are on the left-hand side and a view of the roadway looking makai. Again, subject parcels are on the right-hand side and the solar array that I mentioned here is on the left. Here's a view into Parcel 24 from the roadway and a view into Parcel 27 from the roadway. Again, showing the location of the shed that's covering the water well. I couldn't get a very good view of Parcel 28 as it's behind these and undeveloped. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the amendment request with conditions. With that I'm happy to answer any questions the Commission may have. LIN: Thank you Christian. Any questions for staff? Okay, seeing none. We'll move onto the applicant and the applicant's representative. [Male from audience went to the testifier table] Okay. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Windward Planning Commission? MALE FROM AUDIENCE: Yes, I do. LIN: Please state your name and who you represent, and you may go ahead. FUKE: Sure, good morning, Mr. Chairman, and members of the Commission. My name is Sidney Fuke and I'm a Planning Consultant and I'm here assisting the applicant Ke`Aloha Lani, Inc. and with me today is the Vice President of Operations, Kyle Emmer. He's sitting over there. Your staff has always give a very comprehensive report, which kind of like makes me shame because like I don't know what else to say. But we've had a chance to review the proposed conditions and the background report and found them to be acceptable. Since again the staff has 3 EXHIBIT D
