The State Land Use Boundary designation for the subject parcel and surrounding area is Agriculture. Our General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates really a split LUPAG designation, and that’s Urban Expansion here shown in the crosshatching and the small portion in Important Agricultural Lands in green. The Kona CDP has the majority of the parcel within the Kona Urban Area, which is indicated by this red line, and it is also in the Concurrency Zone H according to the Kona CDP Concurrency Map. Here is an aerial photo of the subject parcel, again, with Māmalahoa Highway here acting as access. There is an existing single-family dwelling on the mauka portion of the parcel, and the lower portion is where the proposed additional two lots for this project. Again, surrounding uses are residential, vacant, some coffee farms, and here kind of cut off at the top is the Hula Daddy Visitor Center. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition C of this Change of Zone Ordinance 99-36 in order to provide more time to secure final subdivision approval for a proposed three lots subdivision. Condition C required that final subdivision approval be secured by March 15, 2004. The applicant subsequently came in for an administration time extension, which gave them an additional five years to 2009. The applicant is requesting an additional five years now at the Commission from the date of approval of this proposed amendment to secure final subdivision approval. Here is their proposed subdivision map. Again, this is roughly where the existing single-family dwelling is, and the other two lots would be more makai of the dwelling. Here is a view of the driveway looking makai; you can see kind of behind the palm tree here the existing single-family dwelling. And here are some views of the subject, or Māmalahoa Highway; here is looking north with the subject parcel on the left and here is looking south along Māmalahoa Highway with the subject parcel on the right. The Planning Director is recommending that we forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council to amend this ordinance. With that, I’m happy to answer any questions that the Commission may have. WHITTEMORE: Commissioners, any questions of staff? This is just for clarification, this is a five-year extension request is what it is. KAY: That is correct. WHITTEMORE: Right. Will the applicant’s representative please step forward? LEONARD: Good morning, Chair. WHITTEMORE: Good morning. Will you please raise your right hand? LEONARD: Yes. Can you hear me on this? 2 EXHIBIT A
