notice the different colors of zoning, the light green is Agricultural 5 acres, we have, the darker green is Open zoning and then we have Resort zoning for the purple. W e also have some Single- Family Residential identified in yellow and darker yellow. Here is an aerial photo of the actual properties. These are in this general location; again, we have the boat harbor, or the boat launch, just to the north of this property. The applicant is requesting a one-year time extension to comply with Condition No. 2, which is the requirement to secure the water commitments for the developm to allow the development of an eight-lot single-family residential subdivision and related improvements. The Planning Director is recommending approval of their request. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of staff? Seeing none, for the record, before I forget, no one has signed up to testify Fuke, I believe you are the representative for Puak Bay Investors? FUKE: Yes, sir. WATANABE: Yeah, just for, you know, swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? FUKE: Yes, I do. WATANABE: Thank you. And then, of course, name and address. FUKE: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. My name is Sidney Fuke. IÓm a planning consultant. IÓm working on this application with the owner. Unfortunately, the owner is in his second home, which is Las Vegas, so he is not able to attend. IÓll give him a report after the outcome of todayÓs meeting Î hopefully, itÓs favorable. Just to add a little bit to the staff report, IÓd like to kind of note a couple of things.

And so they do have excess water commitments that conceivably could be assigned to this property, and these are particularly Mauna Lani Resort and Mauna Kea Resort Properties. Nothing has been, you know, consummated with either of these resorts. WeÓve also had discussions with the former developers of the Bridge Òina LeÒa property, which is Bridge Capital. But since the new owners, DW Òina LeÒa Development Corporation, bought the Urban designated area, and is now obligated to fulfill a lot of the water related requirements, there have been active discussions with DW Òina LeÒa. So we hope that over the next year, or within the extended time period, if the Commission so grants it, you know, weÓd be able to consummate something and the project can proceed. The other thing I want to kind of note is that since the original SMA Permit was issued, the only substantive regulatory change that has occurred was the adoption of the South Kohala Community Development Plan. And since the adoption back in November of 2008 -. And if EXHIBIT A 2
