JACKSON: Thank you, Chair Unger. Good morning, everyone. So the first application is a request to amend Special Management Area Permit No. 05-005. The applicant is Sunstone Kona, LLC. The subject property is located in the North Kona District. You can see the property outlined in black on the slide, and it extends from Ali‘i Drive, which runs in a north-south direction on the left side of the slide up to Kuakini Highway, which is located on the mauka side of the property. The current zoning for the property is RM-7 for the mauka portion, that’s the portion between the future Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way, which runs through the middle of the property, and Kuakini Highway. The RM-7, which is Multi-Family Residential-7,000 square feet, is shown in kind of the light brown color. You can also see a commercially zoned area in the pink that is Neighborhood Commercial zoning that’s also located on the subject property closer to the future Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way. And then between the Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way and Ali‘i drive, the section of the property in this location, is zoned Multi-Family Residential-4,000 square feet that’s shown in the darker brown. So Special Management Area Permit No. 05-005 was approved in 2007 to allow the development of 289 multi-family residential units and about 45,000 square feet of commercial development, as well as related parking and landscaping on 46 acres in addition to road improvements on about one acre of land adjacent to the subject property. Condition 9 of the Permit required construction of the first phase be completed by May 15, 2018. The project is going to be developed in six phases: The first two phases are located in Block D – and I have a map that I’ll show you in just a minute, to show you Block D and the other development phases – Block D is going to include 147 residential units; the third and fourth phase will be in Block B and that will include 142 residential units; and then the final two phases will consist of development of the commercial property in Block C. Development of Phases 2 through 6 will occur based on market demands with no specific timeline for completion. And Condition No. 6 of the Permit currently requires construction of a mauka-makai road between Ali‘i Drive and Kuakini Highway through the property prior to issuance of any occupancy permits for Block D, which is the first and second phase. So this map here shows the subject property. You have Ali‘i Drive on the bottom, Kuakini Highway on the top. The future Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way bisects the property in the middle. Here you have Block B, this is multi-family residential. Block C, this is the commercial development. And then Block D, which is the Phase 1 and 2 development. So here we have Phase 1 and 2, Block B is 3 and 4, Block C is 5 and 6. The mauka-makai road that I mentioned is located, it’s highlighted in the green and yellow, so it extends from Ali‘i Drive in this location here and then heads mauka along the Ali‘i Parkway right-of-way and then through the applicant’s property up to Kuakini Highway. And just for a frame of reference, this development up towards Kuakini Highway is the Kona Sea Villas development; next to Block D, just south of Block D, you have the Kona Sea Ridge development. The applicant is requesting an amendment to Condition 9 in order to allow a ten-year time extension to complete construction of the first phase of development, which will consist of at least 24 residential units within Block D. The applicant has always intended to complete Phase 1 2 EXHIBIT A
