<br />The area of the subject application is within the South Hilo District; more specifically, we’re <br />looking in the Wainaku area just outside of the City of Hilo. The area that we’re looking at is <br />identified with blue. It’s just along Hawai‛i Belt Road or Highway 19. Just a short distance out <br />of Hilo. <br /> <br />For reference, this purple little triangle area into the ocean is the Wainaku Center, and the area <br />in, again in this general location would be identified as Wainaku. As we zoom in, this is our <br />County zoning map. The different colors represent the County zoning for these particular <br />properties. For reference, on the right side of the map, running in a north-south direction, we <br />have the Hawai‛i Belt Road or Hawai‛i, Highway 19. It also intersects with Wainaku Street. <br />The subject property is identified with a blue outline. <br /> <br />This is a property that is identified with dark green which is Agricultural – 20 acres. We also <br />have other properties in the general area that are zoned Agricultural – 20 acres. The property <br />along the ocean is zoned Open even though it’s, it’s a darker green. And the mustard color and <br />light colored yellow is Residential zoning. <br /> <br />We do have some different types of Agricultural zoning in the area as well, Family Agricultural <br />– 5 acres, as well as Residential Agricultural – 1 acre. Those were rezoned within the last ten <br />years, those particular areas. <br /> <br />This is our State Land Use Boundary Map. These identify the State Land Use designations for <br />the property. The green is State Land Use Agriculture. The yellow is Rural. And the pink <br />identifies the Urban zoning. Again, we had the Open County zoning. It’s identified with, with <br />blue, which is Conservation. <br /> <br />This is our Special Management Area Map which identifies the property being located within the <br />Special Management Area, thus, the need for the Special Management Area Use Permit <br />application. <br /> <br />We also have an aerial photo which identifies the property in this area. It’s, it’s hard to see but <br />it’s right here. Again, for reference we have Hawai‛i Belt Road and Wainaku. You’ll notice that <br />there’s quite a distance between the intersection of Wainaku and the highway from the boundary <br />of the property. This is actually, even though there’s growth here, like California grass, it’s <br />located within a right-of-way area, a road right-of-way. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, I thought I had the General Plan Map which, it’s not in here, but just for <br />reference, this particular area in this general area is Low Density Urban with the outskirts being <br />in Important Agriculture Land. So, this, this property as well as up here, as well as in this <br />general area runs in the Low Density Urban area. I apologize for that. <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit and a Special Permit to <br />allow the construction and operation of a wellness facility and spa on 1.136 acres of land. This is <br />located in the SMA as well as within the State Land Use Agricultural District. This is designed <br />to be a 3-story, 2 main stories so it’ll be multi-tiered with a cupola on the top floor. This will be <br /> <br />2 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
