So this item is on your agenda because the Planning Director is requesting that you assess and take action on the applicant’s response regarding Condition 10 of Special Permit No. 653. The property is located in the Hawaiian Ranchos Subdivision in the Ka‘u District. You can see the permit area consists of five parcels that are outlined in red in the middle of the slide. The current zoning of the property is Agricultural 3 acres, which is shown in the light blue. This is a close-up view of the properties. You have the Highway running through the middle of the slide in an east-west direction. And then Prince Kuhio Boulevard comes off towards the makai direction here. And then Maile Drive intersects at a “t” right in front of the properties. This is an aerial view of the properties. Again, you have the highway at the top of the slide running in an east-west direction, and then Prince Kuhio Boulevard and Maile Drive. And then you can see the existing shopping center. Malama Market is located in this area here. And the farmers market swap meet activities are occurring in this area located here. They do have a parking area that can accommodate about 50 stalls or 50 spaces that are in this general area here. The Hawai‘i park and ride lot, the County park and ride lot, is located here. This park and ride lot is leased by the County from the property owners. And then the property owners also own the property to the east of the park and ride lot. And this area they allow to be used for overflow parking for the swap meet activities. So Condition 10 of special Permit 653 basically says that if the applicant fails to comply conditions of the permit or is unable to resolve a public complaint, the Planning Director is supposed to investigate the complaint and then either enforce the appropriate conditions or refer the matter to the Planning Commission. So that is why we’re here today. And that concludes the presentation. If it’s all right with the Commission, the Planning Department would also like to provide a little bit more information after the applicant speaks and after the Road Association speaks. We think we have some solutions to this parking problem; and so we’d like to be able to present that to you after hearing from those two parties. ISHIBASHI: Thank you, Maija. Any questions for staff? Okay, thank you. If we could call up the applicant. Okay, thank you. Could you raise your right hand. We can swear you in, you, too. Thank you. Do you swear and confirm to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? WESTERVELT: I do. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. PEEBLES: I do. ISHIBASHI: Go ahead, you may proceed. 2 EXHIBIT B
