subject parcel is located in the South Kona District of Hawai‘i Island, and is outlined here on the slide in black. The permit area, it’s a little difficult to see, but is outlined here in red. More specifically, the subject parcel is located in the Club at Hōkūli‘a. For reference, we’ve got Ali‘i Drive running generally north-south through the slide and access to the subject parcel is off of Pu‘u Ohau Place right at the head of the cul-de-sac. The applicant is requesting the following amendments to Special Permit 07-44, which allowed the conversion of an existing temporary golf pro shop to a temporary real estate sales center on approximately 10,000 square feet of land: They are requesting a one-year time extension to comply with Condition Number 2, conversion of the existing golf pro shop to a temporary real estate sales center; removal of the five-year time limit required under Condition 3, lifetime of the permit; and, an increase in square footage of the permit area from 10,000 square feet to 13,900 square feet. The reason for the requests are: Condition Number 2 of the existing Special Permit required that the applicant complete the conversion of the temporary golf pro shop to a temporary real estate sales center by September 21, 2008; the applicant was unable to meet this deadline due to lengthy litigation, reorganization and bankruptcy, which applicant emerged from in 2014. Condition Number 3 required termination of the temporary real estate sales center within five years from the date of the Final Plan approval based on applicant representations at the time that all lots would be sold within that five-year timeframe; based on the current market demand, the applicant anticipates lot sales will take place over the next 25 years; the applicant is requesting removal of the five-year permit lifespan and proposes that the temporary real estate sales center use be terminated upon the sale of the final lot in the development. The applicant is requesting a 3,900 square-foot increase in the permit area to accommodate aesthetic improvements to the project area. The zoning for the subject parcel and much of the surrounding area is Agricultural 1-acre. The State Land Use Designation for the area is Agricultural as indicated in green, with some Conservation indicated in blue makai of the subject parcel. Our General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates much of the subject parcel, including the permit area, as Resort with the surrounding area being designated as Orchard and some Extensive Agriculture and Open makai of the subject parcel. The subject parcel is located in the Kona CDP planning area. It’s here filled in in red. As you notice, it’s outside of the Kona CDP, pardon me, the Kona Urban Area, and outside of the Rural TOD here to the east, and it is also not located within any concurrency zone. Here is an aerial photograph of the really the planning area, I didn’t get the whole subject parcel in, but as you can see, again, kind of running east-west here is Pu‘u Ohau Place that ends in a cul-de-sac. The permit area is located here in dashed yellow. As you can see, there is an existing pavilion here, parking areas, which you don’t see in this because this is an old aerial photograph. There is an existing administration building located roughly here. The temporary real estate sales center will be located roughly in this area. Here is the applicant’s submitted site plan. We’ve got, again, the head of Pu‘u Ohau Road, or Place, here at the head of the cul-de-sac. The structure will be located generally in the center of the permit area. The reason they are asking to expand the size of the permit area so they can have some, some additional esthetics and improvements, accent paving, a walkway and the like in the planning area. 2 EXHIBIT B
