rd This is an aerial photo of the area. It’s a little dark. This is 33 Avenue identified in white and the yellow line is the Keaau-Pahoa Road. And, again, the subject property is identified in a red outline. There is a 50-by-50 warehouse structure that has been constructed, as well as a dwelling in the rear of the property. The applicant is requesting a 5-year time extension to Condition No. 2 which, again, Condition No. 2 is the life of the permit. The original permit was approved to allow the construction of a 2500-square foot building for the establishment of a towing and auto repair business on one-acre rd of land. This is the site plan of the property. We have 33 Avenue running on the bottom portion of the site plan. We have the 50-by-50 warehouse structure, as well as the dwelling located in the back. The applicant is proposing paving identified in these particular areas. There was a portion of this condition that required, that stated that no extension of the permit would be rd granted unless 33 Avenue was paved. Recently the applicants within this area that have special permits have hui’d together and paved this road just past Mr. Tavares’s property. So this is a picture showing the warehouse structure, as well as the pavement on the road, and the pavement of the parking area on his property. Again, we see the recent paving that has been done. We can see the warehouse structure. The Planning Department is recommending an approval of the special permit amendment with conditions. I do have a few changes that I’d like to bring to your attention. Since this application was approved, or since the background and recommendation was submitted to the Planning Commission the applicants have done the paving. So we’re going to be deleting a portion of Condition No. 2. The latter portion that starts with “No extension of this permit shall be granted,” all the way until the end of that condition will be deleted because of the fact that the paving has been done at this point. So there’s no need for that condition. Additionally, on Condition No. 9 we’re going to be deleting the last sentence which states “Native species from the area shall be used when possible.” At this point we’re looking at podocarpus or particular types of palm trees that will really bring a hedge. So we’re looking at that type of landscaping. We would like to add in there “No signage shall be visible from Highway 130.” So that will be added on to the Final Plan Approval condition. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of Mr. Darrow? Yes, Mr. Alameda. ALAMEDA: Just to summarize real quick some of the changes in the conditions, so we’re deleting the “No extension of this permit” that whole sentence, right, in Condition 2? DARROW: Correct. ALAMEDA: We’re taking away native species in Condition 9 but we’re adding the hedge, foliage, yeah? DARROW: We’re adding in a sentence that will state “No signage shall be visible from Highway 130.” It will replace “Native species from the area shall be used when possible.” ALAMEDA: Oh. EXHIBITA 2
