Access to the rear lot would be via a 30 -foot ride access pole from Kihalani Homestead Road to this Lot 2713. The County zoning for the property is currently Agricultural — 20 acres. You can see that in the dark green color. Most all of the properties along Kihalani Homestead Road and the mauka areas are zoned Ag -20 acre, and then closer towards the highway, you have a mix of Agricultural — 5 acre lots, Single Family Residential — 15,000 square feet zoning, and then Residential - Agricultural — 1 acre zoning. The General Plan designation for the property is Important Agricultural Land which is shown in the light green color, but you'll see also that it's fairly close to a Low Density Urban area which is shown in the mustard color. Low Density Urban allows for higher density residential than Important Ag Land. It's usually more urban in nature, though. That's usually where you see your Single Family Residential lots rather than Agricultural lots. And, the State Land Use District for the property is Agricultural, again, shown in the light green, and then you can see the urban areas of Laupahoehoe and Papa`aloa in this area here in the pink. This is an aerial view of the property. The property is outlined in blue. This is I believe Kihalani Stream on the rear part of the property. There's also an old irrigation ditch that runs along the eastern edge of the property which is why the lot line is kind of meandering. And, then Kihalani Homestead Road is here. You can see there's a mix of farm dwellings and some farming as well. It's a little hard to see, but these lots towards the east have orchards on them. This is a view of the new farm dwelling that was just recently finished, and the driveway off of the Homestead Road. This is a view of the ag storage building. There's actually two of them on the property. One here and one in the back, and then, this is the proposed driveway on that flagpole back to the proposed rear lot. This is a view of Kihalani Homestead Road looking east towards the ocean. It is a fairly narrow road. It's about 11 feet wide, but at various points along the road, it does have some grass shoulder and then a drainage ditch along the north side. And, then this is a view of the road looking more mauka, and you can see the driveway for the road to the new house, and then the proposed driveway is further up. The Director is recommending a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council for this Change of Zone request, and we haven't received any additional information since sending out your packets, so that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions. CLARKSON: Commissioners, any question for staff? I actually have a question. I noticed that the vast majority of lots in that Ag -20 zoning area appear to be smaller than 20 acres. EXHIBIT A 2
