the shoreline, as well as provide beginning of lateral shoreline access. The subject property is zoned Resort. And again, we have Single-Family Residential in the area, as well as Agricultural 5-Acre zoning in the area. The State Land Use Boundary Map identifies the subject properties within the Urban State Land Use Boundary District. You also have, the blue represents Conservations, so quite a bit of Conservation in this area, and the green represents Agriculture. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map identifies the property for Low Density Urban uses. You’ll see that there is a Medium Density Node where currently there is some condominiums and the Puakō General Store, as well as more residential units. Prior to 2005 this was actually a Resort Node, but in 2005 General Plan amendment it was changed to Low Density Urban. This is a blowup shot of the South Kohala CDP Map, more specifically for this area in Puakō. The subject property is actually identified in this particular area. It was previously owned by Puakō Bay Investors, LLC in which they had received approval for an eight-lot subdivision, and they were proposing to build eight residential units. Again, we also have the Small Boat Ramp identified on the map. This is an aerial photo. Again, for reference Puakō Beach Drive, this was some time ago prior to landscaping and drainage improvements that were, currently have been done on the property. You’ll see the nearest dwelling just to the west of the subject property, and you can see the boat ramp just to the east. The applicant is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit to allow the development of a seven-lot single-family residential subdivision and related improvements on approximately 6.92 acres of land. The proposed residential lots will range in size from approximately 27,810 to 66,790 square feet. The subdivision improvements proposed are water and drainage improvements, concrete driveway and retaining wall improvements, landscaping and subsequent development of one single-family dwelling on each lot. Additionally, the applicant is requesting the irrigation lines that were allowed temporarily under a previous SMA Minor Permit be allowed to remain permanently in place. This is the proposed subdivision layout. Beginning from the east you’ll see Lot 1 and it moves to Lot 7 towards the west. I’ve colored in the shoreline certification line in red. And there are two other lines, one in blue and one in green; these represent the 40-foot shoreline setback area, as well as the proposed 60-foot shoreline setback. There has been a Letter of Map Revision done on this property to take out portions of the property out of the flood zone and put it into Zone X. This is a more current aerial photo so you can, again, you have, this is the three lots that are currently there. You can see that there has been landscaping improvements, as well as drainage improvements on the subject property. Again for reference, you can see the boat ramp just to the east. Here are some site photos. This is at the boat ramp, looking towards the entrance to the lateral shoreline access. People can park in this general location to be able to get mauka-makai public access and then be able to access lateral shoreline along the coast there. We’ll just go through these 2 EXHIBIT A
