represents Residential zoning. As we zoom in, you’ll see the subject property identified with a black outline. Just for reference, we have Road 8, they call that Moho Road, as well as Road C, and the subject property is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Road 8 and Road C. Access to the property actually is from Road C, not from Road 8. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map for the County; this represents that the property is within the Extensive Agricultural General Plan designation. The lighter green is Important Agricultural Lands. This is an aerial photo. Again, we have Road 8 on the left side of the map and Road C running on the lower portion with the subject property identified with a red outline. Just for reference, you’ll notice the different structures on the property; the white roof represents the existing community center, the yellow roof represents the volunteer fire station, and they do have a catchment tank on the property. The area that we’ll be discussing for the farmers market area is this cleared area here. As you will also notice, there is additional land area on the property that’s uncleared at this time. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Special Permit No. 845 to allow additional uses within the community center. The applicant was, they were receiving a request to be able to utilize the community center for other types of purposes. These include exercise and fitness programs and structural classes and fundraising events. So at this point the applicant wanted to allow those particular uses within the structure and to offer this to their association. Additionally, they are requesting a farmers market to be held one day a week for approximately four to six hours. And lastly, a one-year time extension to comply with Condition No. 4. Condition No. 4 requires that the applicant complete construction of the volunteer fire station, community association building and related improvements. Currently, the applicant has completed construction, but there are some issues. One of them is that they need a change of use permit for the community center, which was originally approved as a dwelling. So it needs to be changed regarding the use to a community center. Additionally, the volunteer fire station is constructed, but they need to final the permit. There is an issue or two with that, and they should be able to resolve it pretty quickly. This is the applicant’s site plan that was submitted. For reference, we have Road 8 on the left side of the map, and Road C. Again, access to the property is from Road C. This is where the community center is identified, the volunteer fire station, as well as the catchment tank. And again, we had spoken about the cleared area for the farmers market and the area that is unutilized at this time. The light shaded areas represent the different areas on the property available for parking. The applicant has brought in a zoomed-in area of the farmers market area. Again, you’ll see Road C for reference. This would be access. And they have an area that would be set aside for people to utilize their vehicles, such as a tailgate, for vendors, as well as some tents that will be utilized for vendors. These are some site photos. For reference, we are looking towards the entrance of Hawaiian Acres on Road 8. Road C is to your right and the property, the subject property, is on the northeast corner. This is on Road C, looking back towards Road 8; Road 8 is over here. I wanted to let you see that there is a portion of the road that has been paved, and it looks like it’s actually just one side of the roadway. Just for reference, the subject property is on the right side; you can see the community center, as well as some parking areas there. This is looking towards Hilo on Road C, the catchment tank, as well as the area utilized for the farmers market. This is a closer-up of the area for the farmers market; it’s just basically a cleared area with gravel. Again, the community center and the parking area, this is the volunteer fire station and this is the asphalt paved parking area. 2 EXHIBIT A
