signify the different types of zoning. The light-shaded blue is Agricultural 3-acres and that takes all this area here. The light green is identified as Agricultural 1-acre zoning. We have Ag-10, it’s identified in the darker blue, and then the darker green is Agricultural-20. We have Residential and some Commercial zoning just below this particular application, location on Ainaola Drive. The Applicant in this case, Milton McNicoll, III is requesting to legitimize an existing commercial vehicle storage and baseyard operation that is occurring on the subject property. The Applicant is requesting that a 0.723-acre portion of a 1.9-acre area of the property be utilized for this request. At this time, on the property we have identified in red an existing dwelling and then there’s also some sheds that are identified in red in the lower area. There also is a low flood zone area that’s identified by this dotted line on the map. As you come off Ainaola Drive, the driveway will go through the flood zone. There is a culvert in this area that takes care of any drainage for the particular driveway area. As you can see from the pictures that are within the application as well as the ones that are going around to the Commissioners, most of the vehicles are stored in this area identified in blue. There are approximately 10 trucks and vehicles used for a delivery business that the Applicant operates called “Island Delivery” in which he has eight employees and is proposing eight employees. This business delivers major, I mean, appliances for major retailers like Home Depot and Sears. Additionally, the Applicant has approximately 16 vehicles that will be stored on the property for personal use, vehicles and trucks. The Planning Department Department has received several letters after you folks have received the Background and Recommendation. We’ve received comment letters from the Department of Public Works and Water Supply. We’ve received opposition letters from Edward Uyeda, Anthony Phillips and Lillias Leialoha. The Planning Department has submitted a proposed Findings of Facts, Conclusions of Law, Decision and Order, that’s identified in yellow. And the Applicant’s representative has submitted a response letter to the denial recommendation as well as response letters to the opposition letters. They’ve also submitted 23 letters of support from surrounding property owners. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Department deny this application based on several negative factors, the primary negative factor as being that this area is clearly located outside of an area designated for industrial uses in the General Plan. Additionally, there are several Industrial-zoned areas in South Hilo that this particular operation would be more suitably located. Lastly, that the adverse negative impacts that would be created from a baseyard business such as this to the surrounding property owners would clearly be unreasonable to these property owners. Are there any questions? ALAMEDA:Fellow Commissioners, any questions for Mr. Darrow? Mr. Jeffrey McCall? EXHIBIT D 2
