dark brown. Most of the surrounding properties, immediately surrounding properties, are zoned Residential. And this is a General Plan LUPAG Map and it shows the entire subject property in the Medium Density Urban designation, which is orange. And the area that’s red on this map is High Density Urban. This is an aerial photo of the site that shows the subject property outlined in red. It’s currently undeveloped land. And, again, you can see residences nearby. Across Kapiolani Street is the County of Hawai‘i public safety complex. So the applicant is proposing to construct a 100-unit Multi-Family Residential complex, consisting of six buildings with two-bedroom, one-bedroom and, studio apartments, a pool, on- site parking and landscaping. This is a site plan of the applicant’s request. You can see Kukuau Street up at the very top corner and access onto Kukuau, kind of parking in a loop orientation here, and then the buildings are in the middle of the map. There’s also a drainage easement that runs through the property in an east-west direction, and then the lot with access onto Kapiolani Street with additional parking. The Planning Department is recommending a favorable recommendation be forwarded for this request to the County Council. And before I take questions we do have some additional changes to the recommendation report, as well as conditions. On page 3 of the Recommendation Report, there’s a statement there that was added incorrectly that we would like to delete.It’s in the third paragraph at the very end. It says “To limit the cumulative impact of the proposed subdivision on area infrastructure, a condition of the approval will prohibit a second dwelling and condominium property regime on each lot.” And that’s not applicable to this project so we’d like to remove that. And for the changes of conditions, for Condition J related to a drainage study, this is one of our older versions of the condition that we used. We would like to change it so that it reads that a drainage study is submitted prior to final plan approval and that any drainage improvements that may be required are completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. And we’d also like to add the backflow prevention assembly condition as Condition C, and realphabetize all conditions after that. Are there any questions? WOODWARD:Any questions for staff? Okay, seeing none, if we could have the applicant and/or representatives come up and give us your two cents worth. All right, Mr. Lim, are you going to be the only one to testify? LIM:Probably but I’ll have us both raise our hands. WOODWARD:All right, if you’ll both raise your hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? LIM:I do. SILVA:I do. 2 EXHIBIT A
