the public showed up at the Kona workshop and around five people showed up at the Hilo workshop. This is a shoreline photo aerial view of the General Plan amendment area. This is the National Park, the Kaloko-Honokhau National Park is in this area here. And the amendment area runs along the southern border of the park from the shoreline all the way to Queen KaÒahumanu Highway, which is in the upper portion of the slide. You can also see the harbor area, and their parking lots are within the amendment area. You have the ÒAiÒpio fish trap here off in the water, and there is also a heiau next to the fish trap here. This area is actually Park property. So the amendment would affect along this line south including the harbor area. And let me just move forward to -. This is what the Director is proposing; so she is proposing to return the LUPAG designation to the 2005 map layout, which had the area hatched in red as Open. And so just to go back to the shoreline slides, where I was pointing out the line from the highway to th shoreline along the southern Park boundary is here, and then the amendment area runs along the shoreline and creates like a boot, or a little shoe, here. So IÓll go back and kind of point that out on the slides. So it would run along the shoreline inland a little bit. You can see the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant in the top right portion of the slide. So the boot area would actually encompass that, and that would run around here and the curve up and in. The State owns most of this property over here, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands owns this property in this area here. And they both provided comments on the proposed amendment. Again, you can see the Wastewater Treatment facility here, and there are some natural resources in this area. There are some anchialine ponds right around in this area here. This is a LUPAG Map from 1971. Again, you can see the southern boundary of the Park. The harbor and these red areas were designated Resort areas. The dark is Open and then the crosshatch was Urban Expansion. And itÓs the same layout as what shown here on the 1989 LUPAG Map; you have the Open area, Urban Expansion and the three Resort areas. And then in 2005 during the comprehensive General Plan update, the Resort areas were removed, those three Resort areas were removed. One of them was two of them were put into, IÓm sorry, two of them were changed to Open and one was changed to Urban Expansion right here. And then in 2006 the Planning Director initiated an interim amendment to the LUPAG Map, and removed all of that boot area, or shoe area, that was designated Open and to Urban Expansion. So again, the Planning Director is recommending approval of the amendment to the LUPAG Map in this layout here. And just to also let you know the State Land Use designation for the area is Urban except right along the coastline thatÓs Conservation. And the current zoning designation, the County zoning designation for the area is Open. ThatÓs shown here in dark green. You should have received two letters of public testimony this morning. And one of them, I think, is from Mr. Nelson and he is replacing it with testimony that he had provided earlier; he made some changes. Are there any questions? EXHIBIT E 2
