DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a real quick brief presentation nd to refresh the Commissioners’ memory. This is a continued hearing from our May 22 hearing. The applicant in this case is Kona Heights, LLC. The applicant in this case is requesting a State Land Use boundary amendment for 11.054 acres from Ag to Urban; at our last hearing a motion was made to send a favorable recommendation to the Hawaii County Council for the State Land Use boundary, which passed. So at this time that request is being forwarded to the Hawaii County Council for action. The applicant is also requesting a Change of Zone for the approximately 11-acre parcel from Agricultural 5-acre to Single- Family Residential 7,500-square foot or RS-7.5. And lastly, a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow the development of a 65-lot single-family residential subdivision and related improvements. For reference, this application is located within the North Kona District of Hawaii. For reference, we have Alii Drive running along the ocean side in a north-south direction. We have the proposed Kahaluu to Keauhou Parkway, which is identified with a thicker white line running in a north-south direction. And lastly, we have Kuakini Highway near the right side of the map. The subject property is identified with a black outline. This is just south of the White Sands Beach Estates Subdivision, the Keauhou View Estates Subdivision, and we also have the Alii Heights Subdivision. A little closer, a location map, we can show that the access to this project site will be from Naniloa Street; from Alii Drive, we will -, actually the proposed access is from Queen Kalama Avenue into a stubout that’s off of Naniloa Street. There are other options that may be conducted for access by the applicant, which is identified in Condition E of the conditions. The colors that are on the map represent the different zonings; the yellow is representative of RS-7.5 and the light green is representative of Agricultural 5-acre. We do have an aerial of the proposed location; again, we have the White Sands Beach Estates Subdivision, the Keauhou View Estates, and the project location is identified in this particular area. Referring to the applicant’s site plan submitted with the application, just for reference, we have the stubout from Naniloa Street that’s located on the north portion of the left side of the map. Alii Drive would actually be located on the west side of the left side of the map. We have the proposed Keauhou to Kahaluu Parkway. And again, this is a proposed layout of the subdivision, which identifies two connector roads that will be to the south in the event that there is a project that is conducted to the south to bring connectivity to this area. We show the proposed layout, the floor plans and the elevations of the two different types of units; the applicant is proposing single-story and two-story type units.We have the one-story floor plan here and we show the elevation of the one-story on the lower portion of the slide. We show the first and second floor of the two-story unit as well as the elevation of the two-story unit. This is a picture standing on the north side of the entrance facing south; this shows the stubout that will be the proposed entrance to Kona Heights subject property. Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for the Change of Zone application to the Hawaii County Council, and that the Planning Commission approve the Special Management Area Use Permit.
