HATA: Thank you. MERCADO: Okay, we'll begin the Imamura presentation with the location map. The subject property is located in the South Hilo District, it's indicated in blue. It's approximately 190 feet from its intersection with Puhau which is we have Kawailani here, Ainaola Drive, Puainako. Next, we have the applicant's request. Sorry, it's cut off here, hang on one second, there we go. Okay, the applicant's request. The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-3 acres to a Single-Family Residential-20,000 square feet zoning district for a 23,012 square foot portion of a large 5.1 acres of land. The property currently consists of one existing single-family dwelling and previously maintained orchards throughout. No additional improvements to the subject property are currently being proposed by the applicant. The reason for the request is the primary purpose of the request is to subdivide the property into two (2) lots, to establish fee-simple ownership of the 23,012 square foot of land area that the existing dwelling resides on, which will be retained by the applicant. The remainder of the vacant land will be sold to alleviate the hardship of maintaining the entire 5.1-acre parcel. Next, we'll move on to the County zoning map. The subject property also again outlined in blue is zoned, excuse me, is zoned Ag right now, Ag-3a and the surrounding properties to the left is Ag-3 as well. To the back is Open and to the right we have a bunch of Residential zones, Single-Family Residential and also some are across the Kawailani Street. Next, we have the State Land Use Boundary Amendment which most of the property is designated Urban with some Agricultural to the left. Next, we have the General Plan LUPAG Allocation Guide Map which indicate the property mostly Low Density Urban. I provided this map just to show some of the rezoned properties in the area with the type of zone that it currently is with the numbers below with the year that it was rezoned with the most recent to the far-right RS-15 back in, excuse me, in the year 2023. Here is the survey map provided by the applicant, a portion of anyway. The blue line indicates the property outline with the in the middle which shows the proposed subdivision line. So, this is Kawailani Street. Here, the blue line separates this reciprocal easement which is ten (10) feet on each side. Here's an aerial photograph of the subject property. To the left is a blown-out version, excuse me, a zoomed-out version of the area. Where it shows predominately residential with some vacant land and agricultural use. The right-side screen is a zoomed in version of it with the Imamura's single-family dwelling here with an approximate line location the subdivision line here and the reciprocal easement would running parallel to this side of the boundary line. Here's several site photos. Top left is standing on Kawailani Street facing east with the subject property driveway on the left. The right-side top screen is the reciprocal easement between the subject property here and the neighbor to the east. Bottom left is the subject property driveway, again from Kawailani Street. Bottom right is looking west from Kawailani Street with the subject property driveway on the right. My final screen is the Planning Director's recommendation which is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council. Thank you. LIN: Okay, thank you Clinton. Commissioners, any questions for staff? 2 EXHIBIT A
