COTTLE: Okay. The next item is a request by Hu-Ko-Pa, LLC for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban and a Change of Zone from Agricultural 5 acres to Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet. The subject property is shown on this slide outlined in black. ItÓs mauka of Queen KaÒahumanu Highway and just north of the Pualani Estates Subdivision and just south of Huallai Road. And most of the property surrounding to the north, east and west are zoned Agricultural with the exception of Pualani Estates and another subdivision to the south-east, which are zoned Residential. This is an aerial photograph of the property. The land is currently undeveloped. And you can see there is development of the Pualani Estates Subdivision going into the south; but most of the surrounding properties are vacant. The State Land Use Boundary Designation for the property is Agri green. And the areas on the slide in pink are Urban. The areas in yellow are Rural. And the General Plan LUPAG Designation for the property is Urban Expansion thatÓs shown on the slide in the crosshatch. The areas in orange are Medium-Density Urban. The areas in the light green are Important Agricultural Lands. And then this area down here in the dark green is Rural. The Kona CDP identifies the project site in their Urban Area, the Kona Urban Area. And the property is on the periphery of the Kahului-Puapuaa Village Neighborhood Transit Oriented Development Center, which is shown here by this big blue circle. The applicant is proposing to create a 53-lot subdivision mainly of 10,000-square foot size lots; however, they will be submitting a Planned Unit Development application to allow for some smaller lot sizes of approximately 7,000 square feet, as well as variances from the Subdivision Code regarding the roadways. And I just wanted to put this slide in to show how the property will be accessed. There will be two accesses: one from Huallai Road, as well as an access through the Pualani Estates Subdivision off of this road stub-out here called, I think itÓs Paulehia Street, yeah, right through here. And then the next slide shows the preliminary lot layout. Again, this is the stub-out from the Pualani Estates Subdivision to the south. The applicant is also proposing a stub-out for future development of the property to the west, as well as development of the property to the north and to the east, and then the access off of Huallai Road. The Planning Department is recommending a favorable recommendati Use Boundary Amendment and the Change of Zone applications. WATANABE: Thank you, Maija.
