<br />This is an aerial view of the property. Again, it’s very small. You can see most of the property <br />is covered with a structure. And there’s a large property surrounding it with mostly trees, <br />overgrown with trees, and one dwelling that you can see just to the southwest. Again, Volcano <br />Highway runs through the middle of the slide, and Kukui Camp Road heads of towards the north <br />in this direction here. <br /> <br />Just for a little background, the property is the site of the former Black Coral Gift Shop. This <br />store operated from 1948 to the 1960’s within a 1,248 square foot building. It’s on the Hilo side <br />of the property. And then, in 1977, the owner at the time, Charles Wittig, requested to amend, <br />I’m sorry, requested a special permit to allow the expansion of the shop to another building or an <br />addition to that building where he established the Tinny Fisher Antique Shop. That operated <br />from the 1970’s to the early 2000’s. <br /> <br />So, the applicant is requesting now to continue to use the shop or the building as a retail shop. <br />She’s basically just wanting to expand the uses that are allowed there. So she would sell a <br />variety of items. It wouldn’t be just limited to the sale of antiques which is what it was before. <br />And she’s also requesting to sell, to prepare and sell food and beverage items, in the food <br />preparation area in the building for take-out. So you can see, she is proposing to sell a variety of <br />items—jewelry, potted plants, cut flowers, clothes, books, art, packaged tea and honey, some <br />local products. <br /> <br />This is a plot plan of the property. You have Volcano Highway on the bottom, and then you can <br />see the access driveway off of Volcano Highway. This is the old structure that was probably <br />built in the 1940’s or maybe even earlier. It was built prior to needing a building permit so we <br />don’t really have a good record of when that structure was constructed. So, this is where the old <br />Black Coral Gift Shop used to operation. And then, in 1977, Charles Wittig requested the <br />Special Permit to expand and build this structure on the Volcano side and use it as the Tinny <br />Fisher Antique Shop. <br /> <br />So, at this time, the applicant’s currently leasing from the owners just the Hilo side structure. <br />And that’s where she wants to start her business. If the business does well, she wants to expand <br />it over to the Volcano side of the structure as well. And this is a site plan of the building, and <br />you have the entrance doors on the bottom of the slide, and then she has display tables set up <br />throughout to sell her products. And then in the back here, she’s proposing a little food <br />preparation area. And there’s a bathroom, just for in-house use, not a public restroom, off of the <br />kitchen area. <br /> <br />This is a photo of the building from across Volcano Highway, and again, she’s gonna, she’s <br />proposing to start her business on this side and then expand it over to the Volcano side if the <br />business does well. This is a view of Volcano Highway looking towards Mountain View, so the <br />driveway is on the left side here. And then a view of Volcano Highway looking towards Hilo, <br />and the driveway is on the right side. And you can see the structures are pretty close to the <br />highway. <br /> <br />2 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
