surrounding this property is Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet. We also have a commercial aspect within Hawi Town. As I mentioned previously, this is an amendment to a recently approved Use Permit, which allowed a school. The applicant is requesting to include a preschool to this recently approved Use Permit. The amount of student will not increase; it will remain at 105 students. It will just add the allowance of a preschool. Additionally, they area asking for a six-month -. Let me back up here. This is an aerial photo just to kind of give you an idea of what’s surrounding this particular property. The property is identified in a red outline. We do have the school shown with the green roof, and we show also the access to Akoni Pule Highway. There is a church located just to the right of the facility, and there is another school located directly across. Residences located around the particular request. The applicant is requesting to include the preschool to the approved elementary school. They are asking for a six-month time extension for Condition No. 2, which is the requirement to submit water calculations as well as the water commitment, and a six-month time extension to comply with Condition No. 3, which is to submit the plans for plan approval. And lastly, they are asking for the deletion of the pavement requirement for the driveway and the parking that was required in the recently approved Permit under the plan approval condition. This is the site plan on the property. All we have is the actual school building itself. There are some trees that are on the site, and there is a restroom that’s located just to the rear. Akoni Pule Highway is on the right side of the map and they have a gravel driveway access as well as gravel parking on the property. The Planning Department is recommending approval with the amended conditions that have been passed out to the Commission. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of staff? Ms. Bowman? BOWMAN: I just have a quick question. In reviewing this and subsequent applications, one of the conditions is, “The applicant shall install a backflow preventer (reduced pressure type) ….” I’ve looked at the other applications we have today, and it is required even for the bed and breakfast. I’m just curious why it’s not required. Is that because they have to meet with the Water Department first? DARROW: Well, we really should take out the “if required” because it appears that the Water Department is currently requiring applicants. I’ve just been informed by our Planning Director that this is a requirement now that Department of Water Supply is making as a condition; they are not giving an option. So in this particular case we can leave it in, but they are going to be required to place that; once they hook up to the water, they are going to be required to put in a backflow preventer. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. WATANABE: Any further -? Mr. Woodward? EXHIBIT A 2
