located in the Kohala Estates Subdivision off of Ala Kahua Drive. Most of the properties <br />surrounding are also Agricultural, with the exception of this subdivision to the south which is <br />zoned Single Family Residential. <br />This is a very dark aerial view of the properties, but you can make out the existing botanical <br />garden that takes up a good portion of both of the properties. The owner also has a single family <br />dwelling in one corner, as well as some accessory structures throughout. The applicant would <br />like to create a 14-lot subdivision, if the change of zone request is approved, in order to support <br />the continued operation of the botanical garden and also to accommodate estate planning for the <br />applicant’s family. This is a preliminary site plan that was submitted by the applicant for the <br />proposed subdivision. Again, the existing botanical garden is in this area here. And you’ll also <br />see the existing roadways and structures. <br />The Planning Department is recommending that the Commission send a favorable <br />recommendation for the change of zone request to the County Council. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you, Maija. Fellow Commissioners, do we have any <br />questions of staff? Mr. Housel? <br />HOUSEL: Yeah, I had one question. Maija, could you go back to the plan again? <br />Does the road that’s shown there in the middle currently exist? <br />COTTLE: This wide road right here? <br />HOUSEL: Yes. <br />COTTLE: No, it does not. <br />HOUSEL: Okay, so that would be a new feature? <br />COTTLE: That would be a new feature of the subdivision. <br />HOUSEL: Okay, okay. <br />WATANABE: Yes? <br />BOWMAN: Could you go back to the other picture of the garden. So it looks like <br />basically that road would go right through the middle of the garden, sort of. <br />COTTLE: Yeah, I think it would come off somewhere right about here. <br />BOWMAN: Okay. And then most of the lots would encompass, it seems like, a major <br />part of the existing gardens. We can ask the applicant then. Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Any further questions? Okay, well, thank you, Maija. So may I call up <br />the applicant? Oh, okay, Mr. Mooers, you’re the applicant’s representative. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />2 <br /> <br />
