Home

UNGER: Thank you. Commissioners, any other comment? Thank you. Staff, presentation, please? KAY: Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair, and good morning, Members of the Leeward Planning Commission. If I can direct your attention to the screen. Just wanted to give you an idea of where the subject parcel is located. It’s in the South Kohala District of Hawai‘i Island. For reference, we’ve got Māmalahoa Highway running generally north-south through the slide. The subject five-acre parcel is located in the Lalamilo Farm Lots Subdivision outlined in red here. To the east across the highway is the Parker Ranch Arena and Waimea Town to the northeast. The Applicant is requesting a one-year extension of time to Condition No. 5, Plan Approval, of Special Permit No. 378, which allowed the temporary operation of a fitness center, retention and continued operation of a bakery, butter processing, storage and distribution facility, limited retail sales area and related improvements on approximately 0.5 acres of land situated within the State Land Use Agricultural District. The Applicant is requesting a time extension to complete the studies and secure permits needed to comply with conditions of approval. The County zoning for the subject parcel and much of the surrounding area is Agricultural-5 acres, as indicated in the light green. Across the highway to the east is Agricultural-40 acres, some Agricultural-1 acres to the north, and some Residential zoning as indicated in yellow to the northeast. The State Land Use Designation for the subject property and much of the surrounding area is Agricultural and some Urban to the east. And, the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designation for the subject property is Important Agricultural Lands. Here’s an aerial photograph of the subject parcel and surrounding area. Again for reference, we’ve got Māmalahoa Highway running generally north-south through the slide. Lalamilo Farm Lots Road generally east-west, and the subject parcel is outlined in red. And here’s some aerial photographs of the subject parcel and permit area. On the left hand side the entire five-acre subject parcel outlined in red and the approximately half-acre permit area outlined in yellow. On the right hand side it’s blown up to show the existing ice cream processing and vegetable processing structure as well as some parking areas. The, pardon me, the area is with the green roofs here, and on the back of the structure there are approximately 2,500 square feet of unpermitted additions to the original structure that we’re trying to also deal with in the permit. Here is the applicant’s site plan that came through in the last amendment in 2016. On the left hand side again, you see the entire parcel and the smaller permit area outlined in red. On the right now you see the site plan. Just to give you an idea, the Meadow Gold parking, truck parking area, is no longer being utilized, as the truck parking has ceased on the property. The fitness center has since relocated on the property as required by the permit, so the areas indicated as fitness center are no longer there. And the bakery has also relocated from the property, so there’s just a limited amount of permitted uses that are taking place within the permit area. Here are some photos of site access along Lalamilo Farm Road looking west on the left-hand side and then looking east on the right-hand side. 2 EXHIBIT A
