And then the Hawaiian Ranchos Subdivision is shown in the light blue. You can see the subject properties are outlined in red. So they’re located just off the Hawai‘i Belt Road. And Prince Kuhio Boulevard comes off of the highway right here. This is a close-up view. This is a little bit better. So, again, you can see the highway and the Prince Kuhio Boulevard, and Maile Drive. So the permit area consists of three entire parcels and then portions of two, and I didn’t put lines between so you could see where each of the parcels are. But there are three adjacent to the highway, and then two along Prince Kuhio Boulevard. This is an aerial photo of the property. And if you’re familiar with Kau, you’re probably very ‘ familiar with this property, because it’s the location of the Malama Market Store. The store is located right here, and there are other businesses and other structures on the property. But the area the farmers market is occurring on is in this location right here. Let’s see, just to give you a little bit more context, this area across the street is the location of a County Hele On park and ride lot. And the, this entire area here is all owned by the applicant, Ocean View Partners LLC. They actually also own the park and ride lot, the property across the street, and they’re leasing that to the County of Hawai‘i. So Condition 10 of the permit says that if the applicant fails to comply with conditions of approval or is unable to resolve any public complaints, the Planning Director shall investigate and if necessary enforce the appropriate conditions. The Planning Director may as part of any enforcement action refer the matter to the Planning Commission for review. That’s why we’re here today. Upon appropriate findings by the Commission that the applicant has failed to comply with conditions of approval or has caused an unreasonable adverse impact on surrounding properties, the permit may be suspended or revoked. So at this point I’d like to turn, conclude the Department’s presentation for now and allow both of the parties, the applicant as well as the representative from the Road Association, they’re the ones that made the complaint, to kind of lay out their concerns. And then if the Commission could give the Department a chance afterwards to follow up on any questions or concerns. ISHIBASHI: Any questions, Commissioners? If not, we would like to call up the applicant. And -. COTTLE: I’m sorry, Mr. Chairman. I just realized the applicant actually sent a letter to the st Commission dated October 31. You should have that in your package. And it says that they will not be able to attend this hearing because they’ve made prior commitments. We did notify them that their attendance here was required, but they submitted this letter instead. ISHIBASHI: We have Don, Don Nitche. Okay, Don, if you could raise your right hand. And do you swear and affirm to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? NITCHE: I do. 2 EXHIBIT B
