1-acre. To the east the Anekona Estates Subdivision is a mixture of Agricultural 5-acre and Residential and Agricultural 2-acre zoning. The State Land Use for the subject parcel is Agricultural. It is, however, surrounded on the west by two sections of Urban designation; this is for the ‘Ōuli Self Help Housing development, as well as the ‘Ōuli Affordable Rental development. To the east, again, Anekona is a mix of State Land Use Agricultural and State Land Use Rural. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map indicates that the majority of the area, including the subject parcel, is Rural designation. We’ve got some aerial photographs of the subject site. Again, for reference this is Kawaihae Road running east-west. Access to the subject parcel here is from Waiula Drive, which comes down here off of Kawaihae Road, again, showing Anekona Estates Subdivision here, the ‘Ōuli Self Help Housing Project, which is adjacent to the subject parcel and across the road, looking at the ‘Ōuli Affordable Rental project. The next image just zooms in a little bit to the subject parcel. As you can tell, again, this is Waiula Drive coming in. Access to the parcel would be off of Waiula Drive roughly in this area. There is a rock wall on the western and southern portions of the parcel, separating that from the ‘Ōuli Self Help Housing. All right. The proposed use is a Special Permit to develop and operate a fire vehicle apparatus garage on a 3.132-acre parcel. The proposed garage is a 2,080-square foot, 20-foot tall, single-story facility that includes an ADA accessible bathroom and shower. Proposed uses include storage of two or more firefighting vehicles assigned to the company by the Hawai‘i County Fire Department, regular maintenance of the firefighting vehicles by Company 9 Bravo volunteers; however, any major mechanical work will need to be performed by the County Fire Department mechanical shop in Hilo. Additional uses include maintenance and storage of Company 9 Bravo firefighting equipment, including personal safety gear, hoses, pumps, tools and related items. It will also be a training site for Company 9 Bravo volunteers and Fire Department personnel four to five times per month, and also a central gathering place and dispatch location for Company 9 Bravo when called out on emergencies, and finally, a central meeting location for the Fire Department units, if an incident occurs in the vicinity. Here we are showing the applicant’s proposed site plan. Again, this is Waiula Drive here. The ingress to the property would be here. The subject building again would be here, and it looks like there is a turnaround, gravel turnaround, going to be coming up to get the trucks in and out. The applicant’s floor plan and elevation again shows the single-story building with the two bays in the front of the building and one bay door at the back. Again, the ADA accessible bathroom and shower are here. We have images of the subject parcel. This is a view of Waiula Drive, looking toward Kawaihae Road. This again is the rock wall that indicates the corner of the property, so the property in this picture is going to be on the left hand side. Again, this is a view up Waiula Road toward the Anekona Estates Subdivision, so in this case the parcel is on the right hand side. This is a view of the proposed ingress to the garage sites, coming off of Waiula Drive. Right here where these folks are standing is roughly where the front of the garage is going to be. Finally, one of the issues on the parcel, the parcel is currently, there are no structures on it; however, there are abandoned vehicles and some unauthorized vehicle parking on the site. The applicant has proposed to clean those up as part of the Special Permit application. And there are also proposed conditions agreeing with that. 2 EXHIBIT C
