For reference, this application is within the North Kona District. Looking at the location map, running in a north-south direction, we have Kuakini Highway. Again, the red line signifies the Special Management Area; everything below the line or on the lower portion of the map is located within the Special Management Area. We have, running on the lower portion of the map in a north-south direction Alii Drive, which is identified by a gray line. The purple zoning is identifying Resort zoning. The red dot signifies the area of the application. The applicant in this case, Matthew Kilgore, is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit for an 11-unit condominium project and related improvements. This includes eleven 2-bedroom/2-bath units on a 5-story, 45-foot high structure. We have several maps. We have one that’s been submitted this morning; that’s an aerial that kind of shows you the plot plan. Each one of the Commissioners has gotten an 8 ½ by 11 of this particular photo. We also have a newly submitted presentation map from the applicant identifying that he has added one more parking stall onto the property from our last Planning Commission meeting. And again, we have what appears to be a landscaping layout on the portion, bottom portion of the easel. Previously on this property, there have been two Special Management Area Use Permits: SMA 173, which was approved in ’82 for an 8-unit condominium project and related improvements; and again in 1991 we had SMA 318, which was approved for a 12-unit condominium project and related improvements. Both of those were subsequently revoked. And at this time we have another applicant before us, requesting an 11-unit condominium project on this property. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve this Special Management Area Use Permit request. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE: Jeff, you know, the Public Works comment letter indicates that they are requesting that no vehicular security gate shall be installed or swing within 25 feet of the Alii Drive right-of-way. And is that something we want to add to Condition No. 12? DARROW: It would be up to the Planning Commission. We had addressed this briefly at our last meeting. Now the applicant had mentioned that they had no intentions of putting a gate, but I don’t think they had any objections to adding that condition. WATANABE: Follow-up with the Director? Do you feel that it’s necessary to put that specifically in as a condition? GRAHAM: Mr. Yuen? YUEN: Probably not necessary. I don’t have a problem with that being a condition. GRAHAM: Any other questions for Mr. Darrow? Jeff, on a entry and egress, I missed the last meeting, so I don’t necessarily have, even thought I read the minutes, don’t necessarily have all the information, but often on these – at least I remember one or two other small condo projects on Alii Drive – there was an issue about, you know, the turning, the sight-distance, the adequacy of the width, and all that, one-car versus two-car coming, whatever. Have all these EXHIBIT E 2
