CLARKSON: And, with that, we'll start with the first items on the agenda. We're going to consolidate the first two items into one presentation although we will have two votes because they are separate permits. And, with that, I'd like Shancy to begin her presentation, please. WATANABE: Aloha mai kakou. Good morning, everyone. Jeff apologizes he couldn't be here this morning. He is at an LUC meeting, and he's asked me to do his presentation. So, if you could turn your attention to the back, we have the presentation on the board there. The Applicant is Suisan Company, Ltd. This is for amendments to Special Management Area Use Permit No. 06-011 and revocation of SMA Use Permit No. 172. This is the location map. The three subject properties are outlined in black and are just between Kalanianaole Street and Kamehameha Avenue. Kamehameha Avenue runs in the east to west direction, and Kalanianaole is at a parallel to the coastline and intersects with Kamehameha Avenue. And, this is in the South Hilo District. The Applicant is requesting the following amendments to SMA Use Permit No. 06-011: A time extension to comply with Condition No. 2 which is for the construction timeline; an allowance for an additional administrative time extension which is Condition No. 13; and the inclusion of two adjoining parcels to the permit area which are identified as TMK Nos. 2-1-006:021 and 088. For SMA Use Permit No. 06-011, originally approved on June 2nd, 2006, to allow the renovation of the existing Suisan Company, Ltd. complex, the proposed project included the replacement of two existing warehouses, an existing office/warehouse building, a maintenance storage shed, and a chill box with two new warehouses, a new office building, parking and related improvements on Parcel 39. The Applicant is also requesting that SMA Use Permit No. 172 be revoked as SMA Use Permit No. 172 was approved on December 17, 1981, to allow for a freezer and storage facility and related improvements on Parcel 21. The Applicant is in the process of requesting that all properties within the Suisan complex be covered under one SMA Use Permit number which is SMA Use Permit No. 06-011. The reason for the request is that if an SMA amendment is needed for the Suisan complex, it would require one amendment to SMA Major Use Permit. For the original phasing plan, Phase I was for the warehouse renovation. The existing office and warehouse facilities were to be replaced by a warehouse of approximately 15,000 square feet known as Warehouse "E" to be constructed on the southern end on the Kamehameha Avenue side of the property. Warehouse "E" was meant to store an inventory of frozen and chilled products. Phase II for the warehouse renovation. Another existing warehouse was to be demolished and an approximately 5,600 -square foot warehouse known as Warehouse "F" was to be constructed on the southwestern portion of the property. Warehouse "F" was to be used to store an inventory of dry grocery and non-food products. EXHIBIT A 2
