Street also running parallel to Highway 19, north-south. And, running east-west is Kulana Kea Road. Zooming in a little bit here, so, again, we’ve got Kulana Kea Road here for reference running east-west. You can’t see Wainaku Street—just this little portion of it here. In this case, the subject parcel is outlined in blue. Zoning for the subject parcel is Agricultural – 20 acres, for the subject parcel, and many of the surrounding parcels, but also we see closer into Wainaku Camp here residential zoning. There’s some Residential and Agricultural zoning here indicated in brown. And, this is Kaiwiki Homesteads here. Again, a Residential zoning and some Agricultural – 3a zoning indicated in the light blue. The State Land Use designation for the subject parcel is Agricultural. There is some Urban and Rural State Land Use designations in the surrounding area indicated in red and yellow, respectively. The General Plan designation for the subject parcel is a split between Important Agricultural Lands indicated in green and Low Density Urban indicated in this mustard color. Here are a couple of aerial photographs of the subject parcel. The one on the left here is just zoomed out a little bit more and shows the entire parcel and then the—what we call the Special Permit area—and that’s outlined in yellow. I just wanted to show that aside from the Special Permit area, most of the rest of the parcel is in Agricultural use, and macadamia nuts, more specifically. On the right, you see zoomed in a little bit more showing the Agricultural structure as well as parking areas, and the Special Permit area is approximately 28,704 square feet. And, again, the remainder of the property is again used for agriculture, a macadamia orchard. This particular request is an amendment to Condition No. 2 of Special Permit 09-06 \[sic\] in order to extend the life of the permit an additional ten years. The original Special Permit allowed the use of the existing agricultural equipment building and surrounding area for parking, deploying, and storing of non-agricultural equipment and materials used in the applicant’s telecommunications cable installation business on approximately 28,704 square feet of land. th Condition No. 2 initially required that the permit sunset on March 24 of 2015, which was five th years from the original date of the permit. This amendment would extend that to March 24, 2025. This is the applicant’s site plan, and actually, this was the original site plan from the 2009 application, but again, just showing the permit area outlined in blue here--the rest of it or the orchard uses and then here in these yellow ovals is just showing some landscaping buffer that was a requirement of the Special Permit and also was installed subsequently. Here’s a view of the permit area. Again, I didn’t go all the way into the property, but just from the entrance, this shows the agricultural building, some of the landscaping that’s on this side to, to buffer it from view. 2 EXHIBIT A
