WATANABE: If there are no objections, you know, as I stated earlier, we do have a light agenda, so probably there are people that made some plans, yeah, in the assumption that the meeting would go short. And we would, when we do take this up again, have an opportunity to see the same presentation. And according to this, there is no one from the public signed up to testify. So let me, let me take this moment now because I see s Waimea. Is there anyone that actually wishes to testify on this? Okay, okay, then please, weÓll allow you to testify Î I lost my place now Î maybe what we can do is forego the presentation, yeah, and then, if there are no objections from the -. HOUSEL: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Yea, Mr. Housel. HOUSEL: Since Î I donÓt know about the other Commissioners but Î I didnÓt receive a background package on this one, and so I would be interested in learning a little more about it. WATANABE: Oh, okay, okay. Well, we do have one request to have the presentation, so maybe we should proceed with the presentation. COTTLE: I can do that. The reason that you donÓt have background and recommendation material is because we were withholding the recommendation at this time until the applicant has time to meet with community groups that brought up concerns about traffic and other issues in the area. So would you still like me to proceed with the presentation? HOUSEL: I would. IÓd like to learn a little more just to get an overview of the project. WATANABE: Okay, then maybe we can go ahead and do that. I, you know, certainly IÓm not trying to withhold information. COTTLE: Okay. I donÓt mind it at all. So the applicantÓs request is to amend Special Î IÓm sorry, not Special Permit Î Use Permit 05-001. This was granted in 2005 to establish an elementary school on this large piece of property shown here outlined in black. The existing elementary school, itÓs on the ground now, that was approved under Use Permit 05-001 is located right about here. And the applicantÓs request now is to amend that Permit in order to allow the school to expand to adjacent properties that theyÓve recently acquired Î thereÓre two small residential lots, as well as this kind of round lot here. And they are also requesting to expand to use this entire large parcel here. So as you can see, the property is zoned Agricultural, and then the two small lots are zoned Single-Family Residential. There is also the original Parker School campus, which includes the high school and middle school, is located on these properties here that are zoned Commercial. They did not ever receive a Use Permit for that original campus because a school use is allowed in the Commercial zoning. So the expansion would link, through these two parcels, it would link this whole area into one campus. EXHIBIT C 2
