The State Land Use designation for the property is Urban which is shown in the pink, and the General Plan designation for the property is Medium Density Urban which is shown in the orange. School facilities are a consistent use for Medium Density Urban areas. And, this is an aerial photo of the property. Haunani Road on the left side of the slide and then the existing entrance here. This is that existing building that I mentioned that will be reused and then the new loop driveway would generally go around in this area here and then back out in this location. So, you'll have your main admin building in this general location, classroom structures along the north and east side of the property, that main gymnasium building generally here, and then the bulk of the parking lot in this area here. And, this is a site photo showing the existing entrance with the current Keakealani school building. More site photos. That lawn area in the back that you saw in the aerial photo which is where the majority of the new buildings and the parking lot will be situated. And, these are views of Haunani Road. The first one on the left side is looking south. It's a little dark, but it's looking towards the commercial area of Volcano Village, so the proposed sidewalk would be located in this general area here. And, then this is a view of the Haunani Road looking north, and the school campus entrance is generally in this location here. So, the crosswalk would be located about in this location here. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the Use Permit with conditions that have been provided to the Commission, and since we sent out your Background and Recommendation Reports, you should have also received in your packet today or by email two letters of support. One was from Lynn Melena dated October 29th and another was from Lorna Larsen-Jeyte dated October 29th. And then this morning, we just received a new letter that was passed out to you from Alan McNarie. And, that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions that the Commission has. CLARKSON: Any questions from the Commission? I have a question. If you would please go back to the aerial photograph. Yeah, I was wondering what the structures are to the east of the proposed facility. There are two small buildings and then there are two large buildings. JACKSON: This ones? CLARKSON: Are those residences, the little ones? OrI'm just curious what those are. JACKSON: I believe they are, if you can give me just a minute, I can let you know here. The Background Report says to the east is a parcel that consists of a single-family dwelling operating as an approved bed and breakfast approved with a Use Permit, and a wellness center approved with a Use Permit.
