District Map for the area. You can see that the property is located in the Urban district which is shown in pink. And the previous application was in the State Land Use Agricultural district so the current application is actually in an area that’s transitioning more to single family residential uses on small lots. This is an aerial view of the property. There is one single family dwelling currently on the property in the middle of the lot. The back portion of the lot on the makai side is mostly a flood zone which is why there are no dwellings located there now. And the applicant would be proposing to subdivide the subject property into two lots and build a dwelling in the front portion of the lot closer to Kupulau Street. You can see again the New Hope Church off to the east. I’m sorry, the west. And then you can see the smaller residential lots that I was referring to, to the north. So, the applicant’s requesting a change of zone from Agricultural – 3 acres to Residential and Agricultural – 1 acre for a 3.23 acre parcel. Technically, they could subdivide it into three lots with the RA-1a zoning, but they’re currently just requesting to create one additional lot, and one of the lots would be approximately 2.32 acres in size. That would be the lot that has the flood zone running through it. And then, they would subdivide out a one-acre lot towards Kupulau Street side in order to build another single family dwelling. And then, the lots would be distributed among family members. The current residents are raising goats. They have been for some time now, and they still intend to do that on a portion of the property. This is the proposed subdivision plan. You have Kupulau Road on the bottom. And then, you can see their driveway access that goes to the existing single family dwelling. This highlighted gray area is the flood zone that I was referring to on the makai side of the lot. And the proposed subdivision line for subdividing out one acre is located in this area here so this would be the new lot location. This is a view of the property driveway from Kupulau Street. You can see it’s an asphalt paved driveway. It’s very hard to see, but there is the single family dwelling way in the back of the property here. And this is a view of the property on Kupulau Road looking at the north property line. You can see the neighboring property and the subject property drop off pretty steeply from Kupulau Road. And there’s a few goats there in the background. This is a view of Kupulau Road looking south from the driveway. The property is on the left side. And then another view of Kupulau Road looking north from the project driveway with the New Hope Church driveway further off in the distance there. The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council for this request. And, in light of the last application where we asked for a revision for the fair share condition, we’d add that language to this one as well. Are there any questions?
