<br />This is a depiction of the Kona Community Development Plan. If you look very carefully where
<br />my pointer is showing, even though it’s shaking a lot, that’s where the subject property is, again,
<br />outlined in black, and you may note the Urban boundary, the Kona Urban Area also bisects the
<br />property. But because the Urban Area was defined by the Urban Expansion Area designated by the
<br />General Plan, and because the Director declared the entire property as situated within the Urban
<br />Expansion Area, we would then determine the subject property to be entirely situated within the
<br />Kona Urban Area as depicted by the Kona Community Development Plan.
<br />
<br />This is an aerial photo of the property. As you can see, Pualani Estates, Hualālai Heights, Sugar
<br />Cane Lane, you can barely make it out in this area here.
<br />
<br />The applicant is requesting a state land use boundary amendment from Agricultural to Urban
<br />district, a change of zone from Agricultural 5-acre to Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet
<br />minimum lot size for approximately 14.968 acres of land. The applicant’s reason for the request is
<br />to allow for the subdivision of the property into 43 lots. The project will provide for future road
<br />connectivity within the subject property located makai, which is Parcel 42, of the project site, and
<br />the project site is commonly referred to as the Hu Ko Pa project. Improvements will include a
<br />stub-out for the future extension of Pualena Street through Parcel 22 to the south and an alternate
<br />access to Hualālai Road. Should the rezoning be approved, and the state land use boundary
<br />amendment, I should mention, the applicant will then intend to submit an application for a planned
<br />unit development permit, which allow for flexibility in the design and the selection of smaller lot
<br />sizes, a minimum of 10,000 square feet in size, to be accessed by non-dedicable roadways.
<br />
<br />This is a depiction of the applicant’s development concept. Hualālai Road is located here at the top
<br />of the site plan, Hienaloli Road off to your right, and the Hu Ko Pa project is off to your left. As
<br />you can see, the interior road layout with a stub-out to the southern boundary of the property that
<br />would eventually connect to Pualena Street, which will then connect to Puapuaanui Street located to
<br />the south of the property, and which goes through the Pualani Estates development and then
<br />accessing onto the Queen Ka‘ahumanu Highway. You may also note an access connection here
<br />onto Hualālai Road, as well as a stub-out to the makai, or west, that will connect to the Hu Ko Pa
<br />project, which will then provide a consolidated access point, a single consolidated access point onto
<br />Hualālai Road. I should note that the reason for the two different colors on this site plan is through
<br />the P.U.D. process the zoning, if eventually approved, would be, would require a minimum lot size
<br />of 15,000 square feet; by applying for a planned unit development permit, and if successful in
<br />securing the permit, the applicant cannot exceed their permitted density required by zoning, but
<br />could allow for adjustment of minimum lot sizes where the applicant is envisioning 15,000 square
<br />feet or larger lots along the mauka portions of the project site, and the smaller 10,000-square foot
<br />lots on the makai half of the project site. And those are depicted by those two different colors.
<br />
<br />This is just a closer aerial photo, and our apologies that the project site is barely outlined by this,
<br />somewhere in this vicinity here, just to give you a representation of the state of development on
<br />surrounding properties. And this is a much closer view of the property.
<br />
<br />This is looking north along Hienaloli Road. The project site is off to your left here, and the
<br />intersection with Hualālai Road is off in the distance in the location. This is on Hualālai Road
<br />looking makai, or west, with the property off to your left once again. And this gives you a sense of
<br />the width of the existing Hualālai Road, at least the pavement width, I should mention. This is
