This is a little closer-up of the area. Again, we have Māmalahoa Highway running through the middle of the map, Mokuloa Subdivision just to the right of the subject property, and the subject property identified in a black outline. And, again, we have Kakanihia Place running north-south that provides access to this property, as well as a few smaller properties to the north. This is the General Plan for the area. The yellow is identified as Low Density Urban. On the lower portion of the map is Important Agricultural Land, and on the upper portion of the map is Extensive Agriculture. This is the Waimea Town Conceptual Plan; this identifies the plan for the Waimea Community that was established in 2008 through their Community Development process. The subject property is in the area identified with a circle, it is identified for Urban Development. This is an aerial photo of the subject property. Again, you can see Māmalahoa running in an east- west direction through the middle of the screen. You have the black outline of the subject property. Currently, there is a single family dwelling that’s constructed. It’s hard to see, but there is a little shed on the lower portion of the property. And, again, we have Kakanihia Place that’s running in a north-south direction that provides access. The applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary amendment from Agricultural to Rural, and a change of zone from Agricultural 40-acre to Residential and Agricultural 0.5-acre for approximately 1.0046 acres of land. The applicant plans to subdivide the property into two Residential and Agricultural lots and convey the new lot to her son. This is the submitted site plan, submitted by the applicant. Again, we have Māmalahoa Highway on the lower portion of the map, Kakanihia Place, or Road, running in a north-south direction, and the subject property identified as one acre, approximately one acre. And, again, you can see the proposed subdivision that would create two separate lots. And this particular map identifies these structures on the property. These are some site photos. This is looking towards Waimea on Māmalahoa Highway. The subject property would be to your right. This next picture is looking towards Hilo, and the subject property is just to your left. And this is the entrance to Kakanihia Place, and this is actually looking from Māmalahoa down Kakanihia Place. The subject property would be on the left, or on the right, I’m sorry. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for the State Land Use Boundary amendment and the change of zone request to the Hawai‘i County Council. Before I conclude my presentation, I would like to bring to your attention the yellow insert that was submitted to the Council, I mean, to the Commission. The request is that we add this insert to the change of zone recommendation on Page 2, and it identifies exactly where. And this speaks to the Community Development Plan for South Kohala. Lastly, we have received, which are part of the background and recommendation, two letters from the general public: One is identified as Exhibit 9 and one is identified as Exhibit 10. Exhibit 9 is from Monique van den Hurk, and Exhibit 10 is from Nancy Jones. And just for reference, I was able to look at where these properties are; I believe these properties are located, I believe – let’s see here – Exhibit 9, Monique van den Hurk would be the owner of this property in this location, and the Exhibit 10, Nancy Jones, the property that she is residing, or owns, is identified as this property 2 EXHIBIT A
