of Kalaoa Camp Road. On the site plan, we have Hawai`i Belt Road running in a north- south direction here. We have Kalaoa Camp Road that runs through the property as an access easement for properties located mauka of this particular property. Identified in red is the proposed area for this particular request that the Applicant is requesting. The Applicant, Gavin and Laura Goode, Trust, are requesting a Special Permit to allow the establishment of a 1,584-square foot building in which to have a fruit and produce stand. They are proposing to sell items grown on the property such as bananas, papayas, pineapples, citrus, avocados and an assortment of vegetables. They are also proposing to sell produce, fruit and produce from other farmers. Additionally, they are also proposing to sell nursery stock. Along with the fruit and produce stand, there will be a certified kitchen located within, this is mainly for sandwiches, smoothies and cold drinks. The permit area is one acre in size, the property itself is 7.4 acres in size. And, again, this particular road runs through the property as an access easement. This also is a portion of the Applicant’s property. We also have a floor plan that has been submitted by the Applicants that identifies the open fruit stand area, the kitchen area, two baths and two storage rooms. The Planning Director is recommending denial of this application. If I can just read a small excerpt from the Recommendation in regards to the reasons. “The proposed use places a burden on public agencies to provide safe ingress and egress onto the Hawaii Belt Road. Additionally, the proposed request also fails to address the fundamental problems associated with the development of a commercial development in this particular area, which is the inability to establish an effective land use pattern. Effective land use requires a regional perspective for establishing a proper land use pattern within a given area. Commercial zoning has been established in Papaikou and Pepeekeo. Until such time regional infrastructure is able to accommodate widespread urban level of development in area, it would not be prudent to sanction the spread of such traffic generating uses in a manner which would frustrate the government’s efforts to control the amount of impacts such uses will create.” Again, the Planning Director is recommending that this request be denied by the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? ALAMEDA:Fellow Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Yes. I noticed that there were two bathrooms and that it looks from here like the doors are to the outside. Is that for the public’s use? Are they like a male and a female? DARROW:It’s my understanding this is the roof line. SIRACUSA:Oh, oh, oh. EXHIBIT C 2
