<br />BOWMAN: Fire break. Okay, it’s a fire break, utility road. Okay, thank you.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Commissioners? Sid, in addition to what you said regarding the community support of
<br />this project, Commissioners, I turn to Appendix A in your background report, the letter from Pete
<br />Hoffmann, saying in the second paragraph, “please be informed that absent any other reasonable
<br />alternative sites, I strongly support a park/community center at this location. My sense is that most
<br />of the residents of Waikoloa community share my position.” And so, in conjunction with what the
<br />representative has just said, the local councilman has also reiterated those same sentiments. Any
<br />other questions or comments that, Commissioners, you would like to make? Oh, I know, I had one
<br />more question. Daryn, could you go back to the map that shows the applicant’s – no, no, yeah. Sid,
<br />correct me, if I’m wrong; there is no stated plan for the lavender area, correct?
<br />
<br />FUKE: That’s correct.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: And that is currently still Ag.
<br />
<br />FUKE: Correct. And so, if for, you know, although there have been discussions like with the
<br />church group and also like a person that may be interested in doing some kind of like senior
<br />housing, in the event that that land is sold to one of that type of developer, they would have to come
<br />in for the required entitlements, be it a use permit or change of zone. So the development right now
<br />is essentially only the shaded area, I mean, the yellow shaded area.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Right, so just the mustard colored area is what is before us for Agenda Item No. 1.
<br />
<br />FUKE: Correct.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay. And now, we had testifiers that reside in the Highlands condo area and – yes – and
<br />testified to the fact that the commercial property would abut their condo.
<br />
<br />FUKE: I think that what was stated, if I remember correctly, is that this master plan, you know,
<br />showing adjoining, what’s happening on the adjoining property is not necessarily accurate, because
<br />since that time there have been some condo development adjacent to the purple colored area.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay, but that is still not our Agenda Item No. 1; Agenda Item No. 1 is only the mustard
<br />color -.
<br />
<br />FUKE: Mustard colored area, correct.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay. And the lavender area is still Ag, correct?
<br />
<br />FUKE: Correct.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Daryn, did you want to add something?
<br />
<br />ARAI: Well, the aerial photo here does show a more recent depiction of the extent of the build-out
<br />of the condominium complex, the Hills project, right adjacent to, well, I wouldn’t say right
<br />adjacent, but in proximity to the project site, which is concentrated more at the intersection of
<br />Paniolo and Waikoloa Road. I want to make absolutely clear that the request before the
