the highway. This is the General Plan LUPAG Map, or the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map
<br />for the area; this is showing the subject property identified as Low Density Urban, which is mainly
<br />for single-family residential type uses. There is a node of Medium Density Urban, which is more
<br />for commercial type uses. Your dark green color represents Open, which is more for open or
<br />conservation type uses.
<br />
<br />This is an aerial – I’m sorry I forgot to change that – again, the subject property identified with the
<br />black outline. Currently, there is a single-family dwelling that has been constructed on the property,
<br />and we’ll show pictures of that. Again, we see the State property between the subject property and
<br />the ocean. You’ll notice the condominium project that’s on Puakō Beach Drive, as well as similar
<br />single-family dwelling type uses along Puakō Beach Drive.
<br />
<br />The applicant is requesting a Special Management Area use permit to allow the construction of a
<br />second single-family dwelling and related improvements on a portion of a 32,567-square foot
<br />property. This is a condominium property regime, or CPR consisting of two CPR units, one of
<br />which CPR2 is assigned to the applicant. The development will consist of a two-story, five-
<br />bedroom, four-bath single-family dwelling, a garage, which is approximately 6,120 square feet in
<br />size. There will be approximately 956 square feet of covered decks, site boundary walls, a
<br />swimming pool, which will be constructed as a common element to CPR1 and CPR2, and a septic
<br />wastewater system. This was a portion of the applicant’s site plan submitted with the application;
<br />this lower portion on the left side of the map shows the entire property, the left side of that plan
<br />shows the existing dwelling, on the right side this would be the proposed dwelling, which is further
<br />shown on the right side of the map. These are elevations of the house. I’ve just grabbed the south
<br />and east elevation showing that a portion of the house will be two stories.
<br />
<br />These are site photos. This is Puakō Beach Drive; we are looking makai. There is an identified
<br />shoreline public access that is located just to the south of the subject property, and that’s in this
<br />location. This is the single-family dwelling that has been constructed on the property. This is on
<br />Puakō Beach Drive, looking north, with the subject property on the left side of the map; again, you
<br />can see the constructed dwelling. And we are looking south on Puakō Beach Drive, with the subject
<br />property on the right side. This is straight on the property looking makai. This would be the
<br />location where the new proposed second dwelling would be constructed.
<br />
<br />The Planning Director is recommending the Planning Commission approve this with conditions. I
<br />do have a few extra things to bring to your attention. No. 1, we have received two letters since the
<br />background recommendation was sent to the Planning Commission: No. 1 is a comment letter from
<br />the Department of Public Works, dated August 7, 2013, and then this morning we have received a
<br />letter from Ross Engineering, dated September 26, who is, David Ross is their representative for the
<br />applicant.
<br />
<br />I would like to turn your attention to Exhibit 10, which was received by the Planning Department in
<br />relation to this application, in which four questions were asked, and I’d like to address those
<br />questions for the Planning Commission. No. 1 – I’m sorry, this letter was received from Josephine
<br />Tanimoto, the date of the letter is August 19, 2013 – Question 1 asks, “The property map does not
<br />detail an SMA boundary Chapter 205A. Therefore, it is undiscernable to where the highwater mark
<br />is located.” As mentioned previously, this property is not a shoreline property, there is a property
<br />that’s between the shoreline and this property; therefore, a shoreline survey was not requested. It’s
<br />approximately 150 feet from the nearest shoreline. Additionally, this entire area up to the highway
