If I could direct your attention, again, to the location map on the board, the subject location is in North Kona and this is going to be -. This white line coming through the center of the map moving in again in a northerly, southerly direction, is Mamalahoa Highway. In the south direction, you come to Palani Road in this area. Moving makai and mauka, we have Hinalani Street as well as Kaiminani Drive in this area. If I could bring your attention to a recent rezoning that we had earlier, this was for Hualalai Vistas in this area. The application that we are looking at today is on the boundary of Hualalai Vistas identified in red in this area. The Applicant, Tom Smith, is requesting a State Land Use Boundary from Agricultural to Rural for 4.07 acres of land and, also, a Change of Zone from Agricultural 3-acres to Residential-Agricultural .5-acres. The Applicant is proposing to construct a 7-lot subdivision of approximately -acre lots. Theseareidentifiedinthisparticulararea,theproposedlayoutofthesubdivision.This road here on the south side of the parcel that were looking at is the Church of God Road. On the north side of the property is the parcel that is owned by Hualalai Vistas and has been recently rezoned to Family Agricultural 1-acre. Ive recently, also, had gotten a little bit of, I dont know how I can do this, but this is a representation of what the subdivision at Hualalai Vistas and as well -. Let me hold that up. Okay, thank you. The area in yellow is the Smith property and the green lines indicate the alignment, proposed alignment for the Hualalai Vistas. As you can see in the upper area, were looking at a proposed alignment from Hualalai Vistas into the Smith property and lining up with the Kohanaiki Homestead Subdivision, thats directly across from the Tom Smith property. Thank you, Ill put that down. The reason for showing you this is roads have been, are an issue in this particular application. Weve received numerous letters, some of support, some of opposition. The main concern is the roadway issue; and if I could address that briefly. In our conditions, mainly Conditions E and F, we have addressed, we feel, addressed the issues of the access for this particular application. Tom Smith has recently drafted a grant of easement, 55-foot easement, through his property that will address any concerns in the future regarding access through the property. Hualalai Vistas in their rezone were conditioned that they needed to connect from not only the north side with a roadway but, also, to the south side. The County is trying to align up the connection through Tom Smiths property to align with the Kohanaiki Homesteads Subdivision so it can provide access onto Mamalahoa Highway for both the Smith property and residents in this particular area. There is a draft that weve received just, I believe, yesterday. So, hopefully, you folks had gotten a copy of that, and thats the draft of this grant of easement through the Smiths property. 2
