properties. Then in 1999 when they came in for an amendment we did get authorization from Florence Doi who was the successor/trustee of the Margaret Hirose Trust. So the last authorization was in 1999. And we do have that letter, we could provide it. KERN: Thank you, Maija. Any other questions for the Planning Director? Seeing none, Maija, we’ll go ahead and continue with the staff presentation, please. Thank you. COTTLE: Okay. Thank you. Just give me one second. All right. If I can direct your attention to the screen. The subject property is located in the South Hilo district. You can see the property outlined in black in the middle of the slide. You have Kanoelehua Avenue running in a north-south direction to the middle of the slide; and Kahaopea Street running east-west. The subject property is located in the southeast corner of that intersection. The current zoning is CN-7.5, which is shown here in the light pink. And the surrounding zoning is Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet, which is shown in the yellow. And then just kind of caddy corner to the property across the intersection is CN-10 zoning which is shown in the darker pink. And that’s the location of Subway. Baskin and Robbins is located right here in this corner. You can see that the property is made up of five parcels. The road lot we were just discussing is located right in this area. This is the General Plan designation map for the property. The entire property and surrounding area is in the Low Density designation. And, again, just opposite of the intersection is High Density which is shown in red. And then further to the west is Medium Density Urban, which is shown in the orange. This is an aerial photo of the property. I didn’t outline it on the slide because the configuration was a little unique. But the properties are located in this area here. You can see the highway on the west side. There is a floodway that runs along the makai boundary of the property in this general area here. So the applicant is requesting to amend three conditions of the existing ordinance, 99-116. Condition C requires that they secure subdivision approval within five years. That’s the standard. And then they did get one administrative time extension. So they’re asking for another five-year time extension to secure final subdivision approval. Condition H currently requires that they install drainage improvements at final subdivision approval. They are now requesting to delay the installation of these improvements to final plan approval or certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first. And then Condition I is similar to H. Currently it requires that they install improvements, including drainage improvements, curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along the property’s Kahaopea Street frontage; and they’re requesting to delay that installation of improvements to certificate of occupancy. This is a site plan showing the applicant’s conceptual development plan. The highway is located at the bottom of the slide. The project would get right-in access only into the property. And then the main entrance would be an extension of Awapuhi Street, located here, for ingress and egress. You can see there are five commercial structures. One large one here, here, here, here and all the way to the south here. And this is a view of Kahaopea Street looking towards the highway. You can see the intersection up at the top here. And then the property is on the left side of the slide. This is the existing access easement onto Kahaopea Street. This is a view again of Kahaopea Street looking makai. The property is on the right side over in this area here, and then another view looking towards the intersection of the highway. This is Awapuhi Street here. So the proposed project entrance would 4 EXHIBIT A
