This is an aerial of the photo. We have Kino‘ole Street running through the middle of the map, West Lanikaula on the lower right-hand portion. The subject property is identified with a little red “x,” and so you’ll see there is an existing dwelling on the property at this time. The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Single Family Residential-10,000 square feet (RS-10) to General Commercial-20,000 square feet (CG-20). The applicant is proposing to renovate and convert the existing dwelling into an office for use by the Hawai‘i Island Board of Realtors. This is the applicant’s site plan that was submitted along with the application. On your left side of the map, you have Kino‘ole Street, and then we show the different accesses coming into the property. Parking will be in the rear portion of the property. As you can see that there’s also an open area which will be . mainly lawn Parking is in the rear, the proposed office, existing dwelling and, again, we have two accesses onto Kinoole Street. Here are some site photos of the area. This is Kino‘ole Street looking towards the north. The subject property is on the right. Again, we’re looking at the subject property looking to the south; and this is the current access on the property. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for this change of zone request. We do have one letter that has been submitted to the Planning Commission, and if I can bring that to your attention. This was dated, th in fact, it was received June 4, and it’s from Susan McGinn who is an adjoining neighbor. On the property to the lower portion on the map here to the south, this is a flag lot property. She owns the property in the rear portion of the flag. So there is a flag that comes off a roadway lot, and then her property is here. KERN: Could you move it back to the aerial photo, please? DARROW: Sure no problem. KERN: The aerial -. DARROW: What I can do, this might be a little better, we’ve gotten little better aerials for you. So this one kind of gives you a better idea. So we have the flag coming in the back, and then this is the property that she owns. And then this is where the access is to the subject property. So in her letter she mentions concerns regarding, you know, parking affecting her, I'm sorry parking in this location affecting her property, and she brings in different impacts that might happen. This is a little better view. Again, we can see her property is here. You have the flag onto Kino‘ole, this is the subject property here. Parking will be generally in this location. This is a good time to maybe let our Planning Program Manager Darren Arai speak to a situation regarding landscaping. KERN: Very good. DARROW: Thank you. KERN: Thank you. Daryn, good morning. 2 EXHIBIT A
