For reference thisparticular area identified in yellow, which represents single-family residential zoning is the Kona Hillcrest Subdivision.

The applicant is proposing to develop a 212-unit housing project of which a minimum of 50% will be allocated for affordable housing. There have been a few changes that have happened occurred since the original submittal. One has been the submittal of a revised site plan, which would be identified as condition m in the background report. The applicant has recently submitted a presentation of that site plan. If I could direct your attention to this site plan. The major changes that have occurred on this have to do mainly with drainage as well as roadway access to the project. The applicant is proposing an additional access from Kuakini Highwaylocatedinthisarea.ThisisKuakiniHighway.ThishereistheKahuluitoKeauhou Parkway. The other access, the original access was identified from Kuakini Highway onto a portion of the parkway or the right of way, which is located on the applicants property and there would be a right in, into the project and a right out. That would be, once the parkway is constructed that would be what would be required right in, right out, there would be no left turn. But until that, the parkway is constructed the applicant would propose that the access would be from the parkway onto Kuakini Highway from this area.

And there was also another, just so that this isnt confusing, another submittal this morning from the applicant which is identified in white.

One from Joel Gimpel and he stated that he would be reading that to the Commission in his testimony. Weve also received 5 letters of support. Unfortunately weve only received 1 copy. And basically theyre supporting the project. I will try to pronounce the names but some of these are difficult to figure out what the handwriting is saying but 5 letters of support within the file. If youd like I can pass those out to the Commissioners. Okay, there you go. They basically say that, the body of the letter is basically the same. The Planning Director or the Planning Department originally had received 1 letter of opposition that was from Robert Davison. That is identified as exhibit O within the background report. There are several changes that the Planning Department would like to make to the background and recommendation. Im not going to go into great detail on this. Basically wed like to clean up the background, recommendation and conditions to be able to reflect the name of this particular parkway. Our representative from Department of Public Works confirmed that the proper name is the Kahului to Keauhou Parkway. What were going to do is go through the background recommendations and conditions and just clean that up. Well refer to it in that manner. In your background, recommendation and conditions youll, youll notice that it changes between Kahului to Keauhou Parkway to Alii Highway to Alii Parkway. Those basically all refer to the same roadway. Additionally, we, the changes that are on condition, if I could refer to that. The revised recommendation from the Planning Department. Id like to reflect the changes that the EXHIBIT B 2
