East-West direction across the map is identified as Mamalahoa Highway/Highway 19 which is under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Transportation. The area of this application is identified in red. Just to kind of give you a little bit of reference, this area here is Honokaa town. The area of the application is at approximately the 47.5 mile marker on Mamalahoa Highway. Access to the property is via Parcel 53 which is an access easement; and its identified on the map as a roadway lot that kind of borders the applicants property. The applicant in this case, Melvin W. Miranda, Sr. is requesting to legitimize an operation of an existing contractors yard on 1 acre of land on a 17.293 acre parcel within the State Land Use Agricultural District. The applicant is wanting to provide services to ranchers, farmers, and anyone that is need of trucking-type activities. The applicant hauls livestock, water, ranching materials, aggregate, and containers, as well as other items that are in need of trucking services. The equipment that the applicant owns has been listed withintheapplication.Imnotgoingintogreatdetailidentifyingitall.Butthereisa letter from the applicant that identifies all the different pieces of equipment owned by the applicant. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission deny this application. The recommendation, the denial recommendation is based on several negative factors. A primary negative factor is the cost of being able to provide a safe access point onto Mamalahoa Highway. The other negative factors could be potentially mitigated through conditions. Id like to point out a portion of the recommendation that we have a typo that wed like to address and then I would like to read that area. This is on page 4 of the recommendation. The last paragraph on sentence two, it begins with the word This. The word that we would like to include is This would not entirely eliminate. The word not has been deleted and needs to be inserted in between would and entirely. SIRACUSA:Excuse me could you please clarify where I will find that again. DARROW:Page 4 on the recommendation, the bottom paragraph, sentence two. SIRACUSA:Okay, would you repeat the correction then, again. DARROW:This would be the insertion of the word not in between would and entirely. Ill read the sentence, This would not entirely eliminate safety issues. If I could read this particular area of the recommendation, it states that The alternative to a denial recommendation would be to recommend approval with a condition that the applicant construct a left-turn pocket and acceleration and deceleration lanes along Mamalahoa Highway. This would not entirely eliminate safety issues because of the potential for fog, and it is not an economically sensible option. The cost of these improvements would be in the range of $300,000 to $500,000. Some of the sites zoned 2EXHIBIT B
