women (approximately 23 in numbers) you see back here. They belong to a summer program that we have and I want to make sure that they get their ideas and information about how ethics, how civicsrun in their community, in their county. So theyre here. So if any of them would like to testify Im quite sure the process, you know, we try to tell them this is how it needs to be done. But theyre basically here,you know, to see and know that there is such an animal as the Planning Commission and County Council; and so that they as native Hawaiian children are able to move into the process in the future. Thank you. WATANABE:Okay, fine, thank you. I noticed where youve also signed up to testify on this issue. Thank you. Mr. Darrow. DARROW:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The next item on the agenda is a request for a special management area use permit. This is located in the South Hilo district of Hawaii. More specifically, were looking at the Keaukaha area. Just for reference, this is Kalanianaole Street runninginanease-westdirection.WehaveApapaneStreetwhichrunsparallelwith Kalanianaole. And the blue dot is the location of this subject application. We also have, this particular application is within the area of Onekahakaha Beach Park. This would be the entrance road located just to the east of the application. This particular application involves two properties, so you have a larger property and a smaller property, both equaling 1.44 acres in size. The applicant in this case, Pacific Island Investments, LLC is requesting a special management area use permit to allow the construction of 12 condominium units. The applicant has submitted several site plans, elevation plans. This was the view from Apapane Street. This is the view from Kalanianaole Avenue. And then we have an overall site plan. This is Kalanianaole Streeet and we have Apapane Street on the lower portion of the map. The applicant is proposing to construct two triplexes; and these will be accessed off of Apapane Street. We do have the particular accesses identified here and the proposed structure layouts identified in these particular areas. Additionally we have two duplex structures and two single unit structures that will be on the Kalanianaole side and accessed from that street. We have the proposed layouts for the access from Kalanianaole. Again, for reference, this would be the north side of the property. We do have Arnotts lodge, you might be familiar with that, and also the Alii Kai Condominium units on the other side. Between the condominium units and this particular property there is a paper road undeveloped that is identified as Hapai Avenue. The applicant is also proposing related improvements such as landscaping and so forth. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve this application. Just for reference since weve distributed this particular application we have had several submittals. Weve had a comment letter from the Department of Water Supply, and a response letter from the applicant in regards to that comment letter. Additionally this morning we have received several letters of support; and these should have been passed out to the Commissioners. Lastly conditions to mention to the Commissioners, because this particular application involves two properties, as a condition of approval were asking that the applicant consolidate these two properties, thats Condition No. 2. Additionally, because this particular property is located within the Flood Zone A, E and VE, Condition 4 states that the plans shall identify the lowest habitable floor elevated to 18 feet above mean sea level for all habitable structures.
