DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning, Members of the Planning Commission. As our new Chairman had mentioned, our first applicant is Fumie Bonk. If I can direct your attention to our presentation screen. The area of this application is within the District of South Kohala. More specifically, we are looking in the Waimea area. Just for reference, you’ll see the subject property identified in a black outline. This would be the Mokuloa Subdivision to your right, or to the east. A well-known area is the Hawaiian Homes Administration Office that’s located just to the east of the subject property. Through the middle of the map, we have Māmalahoa Highway. Access to the subject property is from Kakanihia Place, which is from Māmalahoa Highway. You’ll see the different colors on the map; these represent different zonings. Just for reference, the darker green to the right is the Agricultural 1-acre, the dark blue is Agricultural 40-acres, the lighter green down below identifies Agricultural 5-acres in zoning. On the far left side, those are more the commercial and urban designations. 1 EXHIBIT A
