This is an application for a special permit to allow the establishment of an agricultural and veterinary supply store within an existing 5,000- square foot warehouse and upon an approximately 1.184-acre portion of a 5.043-acre parcel situated within the State Land Use Agricultural District. If anyone would like to provide testimony on this matter, please come forward. Could we invite Commissioner Beaudet back? Welcome back, Commissioner Beaudet. Maija, would you like to present? COTTLE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The next application is a special permit request. The subject property is located in the South Kohala District in the town of Waimea, and you can see it on the slide outlined in black. You see Mmalahoa Highway running in an east-west direction through the middle of the slide. And this property has a driveway access off of the highway on the south side. The property is actually split-zoned; the access pole is zoned CN-7.5 and you can see the bulk of the property shown in green is zoned Agricultural 5 acres. Most of the properties to the north are zoned Commercial, and to the east and south are Agricultural. And just to kind of give you an idea where we are, HPM Building Supply is located on this lot here and NAPA Auto Parts is located on the east side of their access. The General Plan designation for the property is also split; itÓs a Medium Density Urban in the location of the special permit area on the north end of the property and thatÓs shown in orange, and then Low Density Urban on the south side of the property. 1 EXHIBIT C
