ARAI: Mr. Chairman, I donÓt mean to throw another wrinkle into all of this, but I have to assume that the December meeting will be a contested case proceeding. Now, as corp. counsel mentioned, we do have the Foulk contested case proceeding already underway; it would not be proper to place this contested case hearing prior, you know, prior to Foulk because Foulk is already underway. So th itÓs highly likely, if I do schedule it for December, it will probably be on the 16 after the conclusion of the Foulk contested case hearing just to be fair. HOUSEL: Okay, I think -. Commissioners, are you in agreement w FUKE: Mr. Chairman, I guess, in talking with Ms. Song, is it possible to, Daryn, is it possible to schedule it rather than a contested case hearing, like, as a pre-hearing/public hearing on the item, rather than a contested case hearing? Because itÓs clearly understood that, if there is no resolution, that we donÓt intend to proceed and then weÓll go into the conte obviously, you know, we donÓt have any plans to do any contested case -. ARAI: ThatÓs a good point. Thank you. GONZALEZ: Yeah, we can agendize it as a pre-hearing/status conference, right? And then the contested hearing in January, and we can set deadlines appropriate for that. th ARAI: You are correct. Thank you for clarifying. So we can schedule it for the 15. Thank you. HOUSEL: Okay, but do I understand you do want to go ahead with the determination of the standing today, is that correct? SONG: Yes, Mr. Chairman. HOUSEL: Okay, I guess weÓll proceed with that plan. Could we get a staff presentation on this? COTTLE: So this application is a special permit request. The property is the location of the Parker Ranch headquarters in Waimea. And you can see Mmalahoa Highway running in a north-south direction through the middle of the slide, and Llmilo Farm Road connecting to the highway, going off to the left of the slide. The subject property is outlined in black. ItÓs actually two properties: a small portion here at the bottom of a 2,000-acre property and then the main property of the headquarters location. The current zoning of the property is Agricultural 40 acres, which is shown in blue. Surrounding zoning to the north is Residential, Single-Family Residential, and to the west is mainly Agricultural 1 acre and Agricultural 5 acres. The General Plan designation for the property is mainly Low Density Urban thatÓs shown in yellow, and also a portion of the property is designated Important Ag Land which is shown in light green. This is a map of the Waimea Conceptual Map of the South Kohala CDP, and you can see the existing Parker Ranch rodeo arena in this area here. The headquarters building, the office building, is right about here. And the maintenance warehouse area is in this area here. So the Conceptual Map shows that the main feature they want preserved is the historic race track complex. The applicant is proposing to use the existing structures on the property for light industrial and commercial office uses, as well as the equestrian arena for special events. The entire area of the special permit would be 14,897 acres. Specifically, there is the main Parker Ranch headquarters building thatÓs a little over 8,000 square feet in size, and the applicant would like to open that up to 6 EXHIBIT A
