Use Permit No. 334, and a new Special Management Area Use Permit Application 18-70. Just to kind of refresh our memory, on December 6 of 2018, at that hearing, we voted on the revocation of the old Special Permit [sic] and to move the time extension request, the amendment request, to County Council with a favorable recommendation. So, really, I'll go over this quickly, but we'll focus mostly on the new SMA request. Again, just for context, the subject parcel is located in the South Hilo District of Hawaii Island; more specifically, in the Waiakea area. For reference, we've got Manono Street running generally pardon me, Manono Street running generally north -south through the slide, and Pi`ilani Street running east -west. For context, we've got the Ho`olulu Complex here, the County's Ho`olulu Complex, and the State, the Wailoa State Park here on the left. Okay, so as we said, the first two were taken care of in December. The third request that's still on the table is an SMA Use Permit to develop a potable water well and bottling facility with related improvements on an approximately 31,000 -square foot portion of the subject property. The proposed project consists of a supply well, two 100,000 -gallon storage tanks less than 20 feet in height, a booster pump station, a 1,500 -square foot bottling plant/warehouse, a 560 -square foot office building, both less than 20 feet in height, and associated parking and landscaping. So, in terms of the new SMA Permit, in the early 1990's, the State conducted a drilling project in the area and found a fresh artesian water source to the depth of approximately 1,000 feet. The Applicant hopes to harvest this potential resource at an initial draw of a 100,000 gallons per day and based on market demand, increase to 200,000 gallons per day. The bottled beverages would be produced and stored on site and distributed to various local and non -local markets. County zoning for the subject parcel is Industrial, Limited Industrial twenty—twenty. The State Land Use designation for the subject parcel is Urban, and the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the parcel as Industrial. Again, the parcel is fully within the Special Management Area; hence, the requirement for a Special Management Area Use Permit. CLARKSON: Excuse me? KAY: Yes? CLARKSON: I just, I just—could you go back to that slide? KAY: Mm-hmm. CLARKSON: Why—do you know why the SMA area jumps over at that intersection? Why the property across Pi`ilani Street is not in the SMA area? KAY: You know, I don't know the answer to that. These are just based on the lines that were produced for the SMA so I'd have to do some research as to whether or not there's some justification. CLARKSON: Thank you. EXHIBIT D 2
