This is an aerial photograph an older one. At this time it was really overgrown and there was some sweet potatoes and ginger being grown on the property. As you can see there, there is some rows. The development for this area and the subdivision is typically just large single-family residences with very little agricultural use. So, this applicant is looking to take advantage of that agricultural opportunity along with putting his single-family residence. You can kind of see the cliff how it kind of wraps around. This was a strange one for the SMA because the shoreline where the setback, the shoreline setback then it moves into not a shoreline and so, but Mr. Kocol has thankfully stayed out of that and extended himself well outside the setbacks for side yard and for the shoreline. Again building on that cliff area would be difficult. This is an aerial photograph and showing the mill in full operation. You can see on the right-hand side, I kind of outlined the property roughly. What you do notice coming down the hills are old flume structures or at this time flume structures. There's remnants of that that are left over along the cliff side. But take note of how much agriculture was being conducted right at the top there where Mr. Kocol plans on doing his work. You can see that it was all sugar cane and then the bridge which is still there. This is just another aerial photograph showing the trace of the private road access and a little bit of the subdivision. So, you can kind of see what's going on in that area. A lot of large single-family residences with typical landscaping but very little agricultural use. So, this applicant is willing to take it a step further and build his home but also produce something that's I think would be helpful for the state and for this County. Here's a site plan. Take note this was updated slightly to take advantage of those paved areas and roadways that were existing. So, it's a little different than what you saw in the report. Mainly it's just moving the blue square is the additional farm dwelling and the carport and the shed kind of had been moved over again to take advantage of that existing paved road and roadways that are existing. And then the red outlined of course is the single-family residence for the applicant and his family. Here's a planting site plan. So you can see that majority of the property will be planted with ulu. There's a long stand of hau that is along the top of the pali, and he's working to try and control that although difficult. He's going to try to control that. As we all know hau could be very challenging to control but he's doing his best and has already started to limb and trim to try to open that property up. Also, take note makai of the single-family residence of the main house they're going to be planting vetiver grass not only to help stabilize the shoreline but to provide some other opportunity for crops. Just north or I guess just above the blue square is that walled structure where he will be utilizing. That was the part of the old mill structure and he'll be utilizing that as part of the agricultural operations. So, here's a site photo. Generally this is approximately from the center of the parcel looking makai. You can see off on the right-hand side the hau, his trying to control some of that. There's a lot of history of development and very minimal upkeep. So, a lot of overgrowth and they're discovering things as they get down into the property, which is typical. I did that on my property. So, it's slow but sure and step by step moving to open this property back up. But I visited the property. We walked the whole thing and so far, I didn't notice any environmental issues, any drainage issue, the shoreline is a steep cliff as typical, no impacts down there and a lot of the work and construction will be well away from the shoreline. Here's like just kind of turned around looking mauka. You can 5 EXHIBIT B
