2023-09-01 DRAFT Windward Exh A (Item #1 Shawn & Stephanie Ching)

Home

property has been improved with an existing dwelling, which was built in the 1950's, as well as a barn and a tack room. The remainder of the property is used intermittently for cattle grazing and cultivation of fruit trees and the reason for the request is that the current landowners are requesting to down-zone. Since they do not intend to develop the property according to the plans of the previous landowner, which were consistent with FA-3a Family Agricultural-3 acres zoning. The applicants plan to subdivide the property into six (6) lots, consisting of a minimum size of five (5) acres each and four(4) lots will be retained for members of the applicant's family and the remaining two (2) lots will be sold to buyers interested in truck crop farming and/or agricultural activities consistent with the proposed A-5a zoning. This slide shows you the County zoning and the property is outlined in red. As you can see the zoning is currently FA-3a and surrounding properties are predominately zoned Agricultural 40 acres as you see in the bright teal. Just adjacent to the property is a property zoned A-20a and then to the west there are Agricultural-I-acre smaller lots, Agricultural-5 acre, and there's one subdivision with Residential Single Family-10,000 square foot. The entire area including the subject property is designated Agricultural in the State Land Use District and the County General Plan designates the property Extensive Agricultural as of most of the properties in the area. There are some Rural designation to west and the light green is Important Agricultural Lands. This slide shows the applicant's site plan. The proposed subdivision with the 6 lots and as you can see it's a triangular shaped property bounded by Old Mamalahoa Highway and a road that actually goes by a couple different names. In our reports we refer to it as Waokele Street and it's also called Homestead Road and Vierra Road. This aerial photograph shows you the property again outlined in red. The surrounding area is predominately vacant or agricultural lands with dwellings, existing dwellings mostly to the west of subject property. And these slides shows you some views of the streets. This series of slides shows Old Mamalahoa Highway. The top slide shows the intersection with Waokele Street and the bottom 2 slides show Old Mamalahoa Highway with the subject property. So, on the slide on the left, the subject property is on the right-hand side and the slide on the bottom right you can see the subject property on the left. These slides shows the other street that bounds the property which is Waokele Street. The top slide shows the subject property run [indecipherable] view from Waokele Street of one of the existing structures and then the bottom 2 slides shows views facing to the northwest and southeast on Waokele Street. Which you can see is a much smaller road and the subject property is again on the right-hand side of the bottom left slide, and it's shown on the left-side of that right-hand bottom slide. With that the Director's recommendation is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council and I'll hand the floor back to the Chair. Thank you. LIN: Thank you Jessica. Commissioners, any questions for staff? Okay seeing none. We will move on to the Applicant's presentation. So, could the applicant or their representative please come forward.
