Streets. Running in an east-west direction, gray lines, we have Puainako Street and Kahaopea Street. At the corner of Puainako and Kilauea you might be aware of Kai Store, as well as the Maebo Noodle Factory. This pink area identified on the corner of Puainako and Kanoelehua is the KTA Shopping Center. The area of the application is identified with a blue dot. Next to the application on the south side we have Klein’s Chiropractic. You might be familiar they were approved through a Use Permit some time ago when they allowed for those particular types of uses to be permitted through the Use Permit process. The applicants in this case, Jinsoo and Ran Hui Iida, are requesting a change of zone from Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet to Neighborhood Commercial 20,000 square feet. The property is identified with a blue line. Kilauea is on the right side of the map. We have an entrance identified in brown. There will be one entrance to the property from Kilauea Avenue. The applicants are requesting this change of zone to be able to operate their beauty salon, in what is called Lani’s Beauty Salon, within the existing single family dwelling identified in red. Additionally, they’ve already done improvements on the property. There are paved accesses as well as parking stalls. There is another structure on the property identified by a No. 1. This was originally constructed as a garage. It is in the process of being permitted as an additional single family dwelling. Since our last hearing we have received quite a number of correspondence. We have received . letters of support from Lisa Pearring, Kyle Pua and Arline Sanborn-Kabasawa Additionally, we’ve received a letter from the applicants; and this morning we’ve received quite a number of letters of support that were submitted by the applicants. They are letters from quite a number of people identified on the first page. Additionally, we have received a portion of the General Plan which was submitted by the applicant’s representative. The Planning Director based on reasons given in the recommendation recommends that an unfavorable recommendation be forwarded to the Hawaii County Council. At our last meeting we did go into a little bit of detail on that; and I’ll briefly touch upon that. The main reason is that in regards to this application’s location it is not consistent with the General Plan LUPAG Map for this particular change of zone. In most cases we look at the General Plan in a broad- brushed manner. We do not look at it from an exact point of view. But in this particular case, there are several times that we do look at it from a more exact perspective. One of those times is if the General Plan is amended and there are metes and bounds for that amendment or if that particular separation is along an identified roadway. In this particular application the separation is along Kilauea. On the east side of the road we have Medium Density Urban. On the west side of the road we have Low Density Urban with portions of Medium Density Urban. Are there any questions? ALAMEDA: Commissioner Rho? RHO: There’s a parcel above the blue dot. So do you know who owns that parcel and what they’re using it for? DARROW: These parcels in this particular area are the Maebo Noodle Factory, as well as Kai Store. And there is a portion of Medium -. RHO: No, no. But the, maybe I said the wrong color. The yellow parcel -. EXHIBIT B 2
