Ka‘ahumanu Highway running is a north-south direction on the left side of the map, and we have Māmalahoa Highway running in a north-south direction on the mauka side of the property on the right side of the map. The subject property is identified with a black outline, and you can see that there are numerous subdivisions surrounding this particular area. This is a closer-up view of the property, identifying the different zonings in the area; mainly we are looking at Agricultural-5 acres, but these are nonconforming types of lots, which are smaller than five acres in size. A majority of them are also located within the State Land Use Urban District. The subject property for this particular application consists of actually this entire yellow area, but the applicant has previously subdivided the mauka portion and has completed Increment I. They are requesting a time extension to be able to complete Increment II. And just for reference we have again Ka‘iminani Drive on the lower portion of the map, Holoholo Street that brings access from Ka‘iminani to Kukuinui Place. The actual property will have a cul-de-sac, as we’ll see with the subdivision map in the future here. This is an aerial photo, again, Ka‘iminani Drive on the lower portion with Holoholo Street. You can see the portion of Increment I that’s been subdivided and the single-family dwellings that have been constructed, and there has already been some construction activity on Increment II. State Land Use Boundary Map, again, identifying the majority of the area in the State Land Use Urban designation with some in Agricultural. This is the General Plan LUPAG Map for the area, identifying that this particular area is slated for Low Density Urban type uses for a long range plan. And last but not least, we have the Kona Community Development Plan Land Use Map, very difficult to show exactly where the property is, but it’s basically in this particular area. Again, we have Ka‘iminani Drive. It identifies that this particular property is within the Kona Urban Area designated in the plan, which is outlined in red. You’ll see the different transient oriented developments, or TOD’s, that are identified along the corridor there, and this is located outside of those TOD’s. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition D, which is time to secure final subdivision approval, and Condition J, which is our fair share requirements condition, of Change of Zone Ordinance 07-160, which amended Change of Zone Ordinance No. 97-56, which originally rezoned the property, approximately 10.283 acres, from Agricultural-5 acres to Single Family Residential zoning. Condition D of Zone Ordinance No. 07-160 states, “Final Subdivision Approval of the proposed residential subdivision within the subject property shall be secured from the Planning Director within five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance.” The deadline would have been October 19, 2012. Condition J does not require an amendment because there is no time condition. Condition J states that the applicant shall pay fair share prior to final subdivision approval of any portion or its increments; so the applicant has paid for the fair share portion of Increment I, and prior to final subdivision of Increment II they will pay the fair share. The reason for the request: The applicant is in the process of subdividing and developing a total of 31 residential lots; Increment I has been completed, which consists of a total of 20 lots; the deadline to secure final subdivision approval for Increment II, as we mentioned, is October 19, 2012; the applicant had every intention of trying to meet the current deadline based on the completion of a number of conditions, but given the current serious economic slump, the applicant felt it was unfeasible and not prudent to move forward with the project at this time considering current construction costs. 2 EXHIBIT A
