So I just want to point out a few letters that we've received since we originally mailed your packages to <br />you. You should have a letter from the Puna Community Development Plan Action Committee dated <br />th <br />February 14, it’s a two-page letter. And then you should have a letter from the State Office of <br />th <br />Planning dated February 17. They’re both letters of support. <br /> <br />Are there any questions? <br /> <br />KERN: Any questions for staff? Commissioner Ono? <br /> <br />ONO: Yes. I’m not quite good with visuals as well -. But my concern is you’re mixing up a Light <br />Industrial area with Residential; and my concern is traffic, I mean pedestrian problems. <br /> <br />COTTLE: So you're talking about this area kind of behind town? <br /> <br />ONO: No, the blue cross -, that very top? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Yes. <br /> <br />ONO: You’re saying that you want to convert that Industrial area to Low Density Residential? <br /> <br />COTTLE: No. Actually this currently is Urban Expansion, which would allow some industrial zoning <br />if a property owner wanted to zone it Industrial. And we’re proposing to change that to Extensive <br />Agriculture. <br /> <br />ONO: Oh, Agriculture. <br /> <br />COTTLE: So it would be mostly Ag, Ag on the east side of the Bypass. <br /> <br />ONO: And the very center of the diagram, you indicated a, right there, you’re looking at Light <br />Industrial, Commercial area? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Mostly Commercial, not Light Industrial. <br /> <br />ONO: Okay. But surrounded by Residential? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Yes. <br /> <br />ONO: Yeah, that’s what concerns me in terms of traffic and pedestrian concerns. <br /> <br />COTTLE: So the Lower Density Residential would be out towards Post Office Road here, which there <br />are already quite a few larger lot residences out in that area. And then it would open up more Low <br />Density Residential behind the High School. <br /> <br />ONO: Okay. <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
