Hawaii. More specifically we’re looking at the Volcano Golf Country Club. For reference this white line moving in an east-west direction is the Hawaii Belt Road. We have Piimoana Drive that is coming from the Hawaii Belt Road to this particular location identified in the blue dot. This is the area of this application. The applicant in this case, Volcano Fairways Development Corporation, is requesting an amendment to Ordinance 94-98 which was originally approved on September 13, 1994 to allow the change of zone from Agricultural 1-acre and Open zonings to RS-15 or Single- Family Residential 15,000 square feet. This was to allow a 40-lot subdivision, which this map that you’re looking at at this time is the final plat map that has been submitted by the applicants to the Planning Department. The applicants were required by Ordinance 94 98 to submit plans for tentative approval within one year from the effective date of the ordinance, which the applicants did comply. Along with that on Condition B, it required the applicants to receive final plan approval or final subdivision one year after receiving tentative approval. This did not happen.Additionally, there were no requests for an administrative time extension and no requests to have a time extension to the Commission and to the Council. The applicants in this case have submitted quite a thorough background of their compliance with the conditions of the ordinance, which has been distributed to the Planning Commission, as well as annual progress reports identifying the compliance with those conditions. The Planning Director is recommending that this time extension request be sent to the County Council with a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Yes. Jeff, would you explain for us please the color coding on the map. DARROW: Sure. SIRACUSA: Yellow is obvious. DARROW: Yeah. We’ll start with the yellow, the yellow is Single- Family Residential 15,000 square feet. As you can see, there have already been numerous subdivisions created in this particular area. I believe this is number five of five subdivisions in this area. The lighter colored zoning that you’ll see is Agriculture, or lighter colored green is Agricultural 1 acre. The darker colored green is Agricultural 20 acres. And then portions on the south side of the subdivision are a medium type of green which are zoned Open. We also have this particular green here which is identified as National Park. So this is actually the National Park on this area; and then up here, this is the forest reserve, this particular zoning up in this area, which isn’t colored. It’s identified by trees. GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa, follow-up? EXHIBIT B 2
