Now this is the structure that the applicant removed. They were using it to store their trucks. So that has since been removed. The Director is recommending approval of the request for the satellite learning and education center with the conditions that we provided to you; and the Director is recommending denial of the request for the water catchment and pool services use. And the reason that’s, the denial, the request we’re recommending denial on is because it’s not consistent with the General Plan and the Puna CDP. This is similar to the Diamond special permit that the Commission just reviewed. These are the same reasons basically, that we’re encouraging or recommending based on the plans rd that light industrial businesses be located along 33 Avenue. The clientele for this particular business is more of a regional-serving business. It’s not just focused on Hawaiian Paradise Park residents. And, as I mentioned, both plans recommend locating light industrial uses that serve a rdrd regional purpose onto 33 Avenue. One of the main reasons is that 33 Avenue is paved so it can th handle the truck traffic; and 19 Avenue is not, it’s a gravel road as you saw. th And you did receive in your package, there was one letter from a resident that lives on 19 Avenue that did have concerns with the paved road because of dust and wear and tear. And that’s the end of my presentation. I do want to bring your attention to some correspondence that we received this morning. You should have two letters from John Rossette, one letter from Council Member Zendo Kern, one letter from Dave Koch, a letter from Catherine Akerberg, a letter from Senator Russell Ruderman. th And from the applicant’s representative Ted Hong you should have a letter dated October 28 with responses to agencies comments. And this morning you should have received a packet that looks like this. This was also submitted by the applicant’s representative Ted Hong, with additional letters of support, as well as conditions that he’s recommending should the Commission decide to approve the water catchment tank business. Are there any questions? ISHIBASHI: Did they remove the garage? COTTLE: They removed one of those structures. One of the two structures that was being used for the water catchment tank business has been removed. ISHIBASHI: What about the tanker? Where are we at with the water tank? COTTLE: The water tank, I’m not sure. We would have to ask the applicant. ISHIBASHI: Okay. Thank you, Maija. Any questions, Commissioners? GONZALES: I have a question, Mr. Chairman. ISHIBASHI: Go ahead, Commissioner Gonzales. GONZALES: Maija, okay, so these are the conditions for the school? 4 EXHIBIT A
