can see there are ten structures that they are proposing; three of the structures would be located on the smaller parcel next to Kamehameha III Drive, and then the remaining structures would be located on the larger 20-acre parcel. This is the Kaulana at Kona development in this location here. Access to the project would be off of Kamehameha III Road. There is an existing road that I can show you pictures of shortly, and that will provide access to the project; so there will be no access off of Ali‘i Drive, and there will be no access through the existing Kaulana at Kona condominiums. This is a view of the property from Ali‘i Drive, looking east towards the Kaulana at Kona condos; these are the condominiums here, so the subject property is this area, as well as further back here. And this is a view of the property from Kamehameha III Road, looking east; this is the subject property in this area here. And then another view of the property from Kamehameha III Road, looking south towards the sea; this would be as you are coming down towards the Keauhou Shopping Center, so the development would be located in this area here. This is a view of the driveway off of the Kamehameha III Road, looking south; so this is the, this will serve as the access to the development. And a view of the smaller parcel where the three proposed structures will be located, looking mauka, or east. And then this is standing at the end of the driveway, looking back towards Kamehameha III; so this is the intersection, you can see there are some crosswalks at the intersection, and it is a signalized intersection. This is a view of the property, standing on the access driveway, looking towards the sea; so you see the Keauhou Shopping Center down below. The Planning Director is recommending approval of both the amendment to SMA 286 and the revocation of SMA 456. And I have a few changes to the recommendation that I would like to bring up. The Department of Public Works in their memo to Planning had requested that some of the conditions in SMA Permit 456 be incorporated into the amended SMA Permit 286, and they wanted to add one more condition. It’s the standard condition that reads – let’s see here, let me get it – it reads something like all development-generated runoff shall be, shall not be directed to adjacent properties and it shall be contained on site. I think you’ve all seen the condition before; it’s a standard condition that we have. So we would like to add that. And then the applicant actually is proposing to change the wording of three of the conditions that the Planning Department had recommended, and we passed that out to you this morning. The Planning Director has reviewed those changes and is satisfied with them, so we would be open to making those changes as well. Are there any questions? BEAUDET: Okay, with no further questions for staff, thank you, Maija. Would the applicant or their representative please step forward? Welcome. Please, I’d like to take this time to swear you in, so if you could both raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Leeward Planning Commission? FUKE: I do. GHALAMFARSA: I do. BEAUDET: Thank you. Please introduce yourselves and then proceed with your presentation. GHALAMFARSA: My name is Ali Ghalamfarsa. I’m the architect of the project. 3 EXHIBIT A
