picture. Again, on the left side of the map we have the Akoni Pule Highway, Highway 270. Access to the subject property will be from Ala Kahua Drive, and that is located in this general area. Again, for reference we have the different color zonings, different colors for the zoning, and we’ve actually placed the identification of those zonings on this particular map. This particular subject property was part of Unit 1 of Kohala Estates Subdivision. We also have Kohala by the Sea Subdivision. On the lower portion we have Kohala Waterfront. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map of the area. It identifies the area as Extensive Agriculture. For reference we also have Rural on the lower portion of the subdivision and Low Density Urban along the makai side of the highway. This is an aerial photo of the subject property. Again, we have Ala Kahua Drive on the upper portion of the map. The property is identified with the black outline. And you’ll notice the improvements on the property of certain drainage improvements, as well as road improvements, that have been done. The applicant is requesting a five-year time extension to comply with Condition C of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 07-106, which states, “Final subdivision approval shall be secured within five years from the effective date of this amended ordinance. Minimum lot sizes shall be determined by calculating the total land area within the proposed lot lines exclusive of easements for access and drainage purposes and future road widening setback areas.” The subject property is approximately 28 acres in size, but because of the encumbrances on the property, the applicant has submitted a request for an eight-lot subdivision of three-acre lots. Final subdivision approval should have been secured by August 14, 2012; we do have a current pending subdivision, which has received tentative subdivision approval, and so, again, they are just coming in for a time extension. The reason for the request is that, “Due to the economy, the feasibility of the project is low. Such a long sustained recession could not have been foreseen by the” applicant. “Considerable jobsite construction work has been done, including drainage way bridges, culvers, extensive grading and utility work. Work continues on environmental concerns – storm debris removal from waterways, erosion control measures, equipment maintenance, pasture water system improvements, including enlarged water storage tanks and troughs.” This is the proposed eight-lot subdivision layout. Ala Kahua Road is on your left side of your map. The ordinance allows only one access point on Ala Kahua Drive, which is in this general location, and it has the particular layouts for the eight lots. I’m going to zoom in on the, this is on the northern portion, so you can see the different lots laid out here, as well as the cul-de-sac. This is on the south side, and again you have three lots shown in this area, as well as you can see the drainage easement down below. These are some site photos. This is on Ala Kahua Drive looking makai; the subject property would be on your left side. This is looking mauka; the subject property would be on your right side. This is looking at the subject property from Ala Kahua Drive. These are some site photos that were submitted from the applicant that show some of the site work that has been done. This is some grading that’s been done. This is an overall photo that you can see some of the different grading work that’s been done on the property and also some of the drainage work that’s been done. You can see this bridge and one of the residing donkeys on the property. These are some more drainage works that’s been done. This is actual running water on the property. This is – I hope I can get this right – Keanahalululu Stream; so this actually does run on the property at certain times of the year.
