This is the State Land Use—or pardon me, this is incorrectly identified. This is the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map and this is from the General Plan, and it indicates that the subject properties and much of the surrounding land is Medium Density Urban and there is some High Density Urban as indicated in the red in the upper right hand corner. This is the State Land Use Boundary Map which indicates the subject properties and the surrounding properties are all in the State Land Use Urban designation. Here's an aerial photograph of the subject parcels. On the left hand side, you see parcel 25. There is a two-level, 2,555 -square foot dwelling and an approximately 1,129 -square foot storage building, and this is the area where the home occupation is currently taking place for the office uses. On the right hand side is parcel 26, and it's got an 836 -square foot single-family dwelling with a detached carport. Here are the Applicant's site plans. This is, again, for parcel 25. You got the single-family dwelling here. On the left-hand side is the storage area, and we consider this part of the single- family dwelling as it's connected under a shared roof on the walkway here, and this is showing that the two proposed office spaces, a bathroom, and then some storage space with a covered lanai on the back side.

Hinano Street on the right hand side and Kekuanao`a Street running to the top of the site plan. Here are some photos of the parcels. On the upper left is a view of parcel 26 from Kekuanao`a Street with the single -story existing single-family dwelling and detached carport. Here is a different view of the same parcel from Hinano Street just showing where the parcel, pardon me, the dwelling and the carport are located. Here's a view of parcel 25 from Kekuanao`a Street with the existing two-story, single-family dwelling here. A paved parking area for the house use, and this is kind of giving you an idea where the offices are currently located. And, here are just some views of the offices as they are currently constituted, and these are the areas that are being planned to be converted. Here's a view of Kekuanao`a Street looking east towards Kanoelehua and a view of Kekuanao`a Street looking west toward Manono Street and then just a view on the bottom of Hinano Street looking south toward Puna. So, the Planning Director is forwarding, recommending to forwarding a favorable recommendation to the County Council, and it's not exactly supporting what the Applicant requested, but the Director is supporting a five-year extension of time for the Applicant to EXHIBIT C 3
