WeÓre going to just wait for the lights to go out here, so that everybody can see. Thank you for everybodyÓs patience. We do have several items on the agenda prior to Item No. 5. It appears that a majority of you are here for Saint MichaelÓs Church, and if you could just be patient with us. Thank you. If I can direct your attention to the presentation on the wall. This morning our first application is from Huallai Partners of Kona, LLC. They are requesting a State Land Use boundary amendment, as well as a change of zone. The area of this application is within the North Kona District of HawaiÒi. More specifically, we are looking in the area of, with Queen KaÒahumanu running in a north-south direction, as well as Huallai Road running in a mauka-makai direction. The colors on the map represent the different zonings for the area. Just to point them out, the darker green is identified as Agricultural 1-acre zoning. The lighter green, which is also the zoning of the subject property, is identified as Agricultural 5 acres. The different shades of yellow and brown represent Single-Family Residential. You have Pualani Estates thatÓs madely of Residential 7,500- square foot lots. You have the Sugar Cane Lane subdivision Î I hope thatÓs correct Î made up of Single-Family 15,000-square foot lots, and then Huallai Heights made up of Single-Family Residential 20,000-square foot lots. This is a closer view of the area, so that you get an indication we are looking at here. If we need to refer to it in the future, we can look at this. The subject property is identified with a black outline. There may be references to other applications. Just to point those out, this one is identified as Huallai Partners, LLC, this one is identified as Brian Cook, and this one is represented as JKS Partners. This particular property, which has been referenced today, is already previously zoned in February of this year; the applicant was Hu-Ko-Pa, and it is currently zoned Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet. This is the State Land Use designations for the area; the green Agricultural, the red, or pink, is State Land Use Urban, and then youÓll see this yellow-type of zoning, which is State Land Use Rural. This is the General Plan LUPAG Map designation for the area; the crosshatched area is identified as Urban Expansion Area, the lighter green is identified as Important Ag Lands, and again, we have Rural, as well as different other Medium-Density Urban and Low-Density Urban identified in yellow. The applicant had requested earlier this year from the Planning Director what the designation of the property is in regards to the General Plan LUPAG Map, as well as the Kona CDP. The Planning Director had determined that this property is within the Urban Expansion Area, as well as located within the Kona Urban Area. This is from the Kona Community Development Plan. This identifies the Transit-Oriented Development. This is identified as the Kahului-PuapuaÒa Village Neighborhood TOD. What IÓve done is identify the subject property on this map; itÓs outlined in black in this area. The red line that 2 EXHIBIT A
