HOUSEL: Yeah, could you go back to the LUPAG Map? Now, that seems like to me that the green is defined as Important Agricultural, is that correct? DARROW: Correct. HOUSEL: And that basically divides this property? DARROW: The General Plan LUPAG designation is meant to be broad brush, so itÓs not site specific as this map is. But for reference purposes, so that the planners can have a general idea or more specific idea where these are, it has been brought onto a specific location on the map. The General Plan does have a broad brush indication, so it can be moved, I mean it can be expanded as far as the line. In response to the applicantÓs request as to whether or not this particular parcel is Urban Expansion or Important Ag Lands, the Planning Director has determined that this property is Urban Expansion Area. HOUSEL: Okay. Could you go back to the County, the one with pink on it? It must be the State, okay, yeah, so this currently is in Agriculture but the master plan contends this ultimately to be Urban, is that correct? DARROW: ThatÓs the intention that this would be, its long-range plan for this particular area is that it would include the Urban Expansion Area, as well as within the Community Development Plan, it shows it as within the Kona Urban Area. LEITHEAD TODD: Jeff, can you go back to the map with the State Land Use? IÓd like to explain. When I got asked to interpret where the line is, part of the problem is is that when we draw these original maps that are fairly small and then we try to do it with an overlay on a GIS later on, and it hasnÓt translated very well on parcel specific. So when I was looking at this, what I looked at is t fact that you have Hienaloli Road, and that if you look at that, that seems to be where that kind of boundary is in terms of other applications that -. BOWMAN: Could you show the road please? GIFFIN: Jeff, yeah, can you show us where that road is? LEITHEAD TODD: This road up there. GIFFIN: Oh okay. LEITHEAD TODD: And you see that the other Urban classifications that have been done in the past have basically gone up to around that line as the demarcation. So I thought that that was a more consistent interpretation of what the intent was of our maps. And also because it, in terms of trying to decide if a particular parcel is one or the other, we tend to want to try and fit them into one classification rather than having it cut in half, and it made sense that you have that road at the t that that would become the demarcation Î a clear line between Agriculture mauka and then more urban uses makai. PUBLIC: Can I ask a question? DARROW: Not at this time, sir. 4 EXHIBIT A
