This is the conceptual map for Waimea from the South Kohala CDP, and this red circle kind of indicates the location of the property. The areas shown here in yellow are areas of Waimea that are already developed and urbanized, and then the green areas show areas that the community wants to preserve as small farms and ranches; so again Î itÓs really hard to see Î but the south end of the property is in the green area, and the north end of the property is in the yellow area. The applicant is proposing to establish an agricultural and veterinary supply store within an existing 5,000-square foot ag warehouse, and materials associated with the supply store would be stored on the property and within the warehouse. The total special permit area would be about 1.184 acres in size. They are anticipating hiring four to five employees and operating between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. They estimate that about five to eight clients will visit the site per day, and they will also make deliveries of supplies to local farms and ranches. This is a site plan that shows the existing storage building, ag storage building in the middle of the slide, and then the 1.184 special permit area Î IÓll just outline it here Î itÓs on the northeast side of the property. Again, this is the access off of the highway; the highway runs on the left side of the slide. There is a 17-foot wide paved driveway to the warehouse. There is a paved parking area out in the front here. And then this structure here is a dwelling where the applicant lives. This is an aerial photo of the property; again, Mmalahoa Highway running in an east-west direction at the top of the slide, and the access, this is the existing warehouse, and the existing dwelling. This is a site photo showing the highway in the background and the driveway access right off of the highway. There are, these vehicles over here are employee parking for HPM. And there is a longer view; again, the driveway is all the way at the other end of the slide there where you see the white truck. And this is a picture of the existing warehouse that they are proposing to convert to the supply store. Again, you can see the paved parking area out in the front. This is a view, currently at the applicant stores his personal vehicles that are used in car shows; he collects vehicles and those are currently stored in the warehouse. Those would be removed, if the permit were approved. And then this is a view of the north end of the property. This is a, I believe itÓs an apartment complex on the neighboring property to the north, and this is the existing warehouse. And this is a view looking to the south end of the property; you see the parking area here. YouÓll notice in your packet you have a letter of withdrawal for this application from the applicant, and IÓll just explain that a little bit. Reason being is when they submitted the application, it was for the supply store, and then it came to the DepartmentÓs attention that they were expanding the warehouse structure Î you can see the fill material in preparation for pouring the foundation in this area here. And so when that came to our attention, we were trying to decide whether to add that onto the special permit or deal with it separately. And the applicant informed us that that expansion will be used to store those personal vehicles that I showed you earlier. So if, we are still in discussions with the applicant to determine whether itÓs considered a personal storage building or whether it would be more of a commercial storage building. And once thatÓs determined, the applicant may need to come back to amend a special permit, if itÓs granted today. But right now, we are just focusing on the veterinarian and ag supply store and the existing warehouse. And with that, the Department is recommending approval. I donÓt believe weÓve received any other correspondence for this application. So are there any questions? HOUSEL: Maija, just to clarify. So the applicant today is asking for just the veterinary supply -. 2 EXHIBIT C
