This is the State Land Use Boundary Map, and it’s identifying the subject property, as well as the surrounding areas, as Agriculture. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map; this identifies the subject property, as well as the surrounding properties, as Extensive Agriculture. This is a copy of a portion of the map from the Kona Community Development Plan; it identifies the nearest portion of the Kona Urban Area to the subject property, as well as the brown Concurrency Zone, which is in the lower left-hand portion of the map. The subject property is outside of the Kona Urban Area. And this is an aerial photo. Currently the property is vacant. There is an access road that comes off Hawai‘i Belt Road that has been constructed. The applicants are requesting a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-5 acres to a Family Agricultural-2 acres zoning district for five acres of land to subdivide the property into two parcels, one two-acre lot and one three-acre lot. If approved, the smaller lot would be conveyed to their daughter and her family, and the larger lot would be retained by the applicants. Both the applicants and their daughter intend to construct their dwelling and to conduct some measure of agricultural activities on their lots. This is a copy of the proposed subdivision map that was submitted in the application. Again, for reference, on the right side of the map we have the Hawai‘i Belt Road, or the Māmalahoa Highway, the Upper Road, access from the highway onto the subject properties, as well as access provided to the subject property and the additional lot. As you can see, in the red outline the two lots that would be created from the Change of Zone; one would be a smaller lot approximately two acres and a larger lot approximately three acres in size. These are site photos from the highway. This is looking towards the north with the subject property on the left side, access to the subject property, this is on Hawai‘i Belt Road. And this is looking towards the south with the subject property on, or the access to the subject property, on the right. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation to the Hawai‘i County Council, with the identified conditions passed out to the Commission. We have not received any correspondence, additional correspondence, since the background and recommendation have been passed out. That concludes our presentation. Thank you. UNGER: Great. Thank you. Commissioners, any questions of staff? KAHOLO: I’ve got a question. UNGER: Go ahead. KAHOLO: Yeah, my question is, you know, looking at this here, and their water system is not coming off of the County system? DARROW: Correct. This is a, in our code, we talk about concurrency when we approve Change of Zones where they have to either have water supply to them from the Department of 2 EXHIBIT B
