If I could direct your attention to the location map, this is in a similar area to our last application within the South Hilo District of Hawaii. More specifically its near the intersection of Kilauea and Lanikaula identified in a blue dot. Youll be familiar with the area by -. This area here is identified as Tykes Laundromat; and on the corner we have our new Subway and different types of food services; and next door was an application that we had recently for a time extension on a change of zone in which theyre constructing an office building. Youll be able to see the construction from the pictures that are being passed around. The applicant in this case, Janice Oshiro, is requesting a change of zone from Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet to General Commercial 10,000 square feet. If I can direct your attention to the site plan submitted by the applicant, this application is for three separate parcels. We have Lot A which is identified as Parcel 30, it has an existing single family dwelling; Parcel 32 identified as Lot B also has a separate existing residential structure; and then Lot 33 which is identified as this roadway lot that connects the access to Kilauea Avenue. The applicantisproposingto,atthistime,keeptheexistingstructuresandtousethemasoffices.In the future, the applicant is proposing possibly to demolish the existing structures and to create a new building for office space. The Planning Department has received one letter of support from Bruce A. Hansen of Concept Development. The Planning Director is recommending that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the Hawaii County Council from the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? GALDONES:Commissioners, any questions of Jeff? WATANABE:I -. SIRACUSA:Yes. GALDONES:Commissioner Watanabe. WATANABE:Sorry. I realize that the nine parking stalls that are being required, I guess, are the bare minimum, yeah, by County standards. My only question would be do you think that would be sufficient for two separate businesses? DARROW:In our conditions that are being proposed to the Council, there is a condition for plan approval. Through that review they will review the required amount of parking that will be required for the, so it may be nine, it may be more parking spaces at that time. WATANABE:The only reason I brought that up is cause it seemed like the applicant indicated that there was sufficient area to provide for more parking. DARROW:There are pictures coming around. This whole area here is clear on the property, so, there is quite a bit of area for additional parking if needed. If I could also interject, that brought up a good point. There was a question that came up from a comment letter from the 2EXHIBIT A
