This is the entry onto Leimomi Street from Ahikawa Street, again looking south. Ahikawa Street looking mauka, Leimomi Street is on the right. And Ahikawa Street looking makai, Leimomi Street is on the left. The Planning Director’s recommendation is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for an amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 12 156. That’s the recommendation. Oh, yes, the corrections, I’ll address those now. There are a couple of housekeeping corrections that I need to address. The first is there is the heading on the background and recommendation documents, reference the original ordinance, and the heading whereas it currently states Ordinance No. 02 64, it should read, “Amendment to Condition D (Subdivision Approval) Change of Zone Ordinance No. 12-156” as shown on the slide. It should, it’s supposed to refer to the amended ordinance, or the new ordinance, sorry. And then the agenda, the agenda stated 40,000 square feet site size whereas it’s actually 3.129 acres – that was just a typo misprint. The correction was made in the background document, but just to clear up any confusion because it was included in the agenda heading. Thank you. UNGER: Mahalo. Commissioners, are there any questions for the Planning Department? \[None.\] Is the, the applicant can come forward at this time? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth before the Planning Commission? MOOERS: I do. UNGER: Please state your name and area of residence. MOOERS: My name is Greg Mooers. I’m a planning consultant for the applicant. I’m from Kamuela, Hawai‘i. UNGER: Thank you. You can proceed with your presentation. MOOERS: I’ve reviewed the background report, recommendation with the applicant, and we have no recommended changes. We concur with the Planning Director’s recommendation. Just as a point of emphasis of the applicant, Ms. Koizumi has had serious health issues as has her husband, and this is what prevented her from moving ahead. Her children have finally taken the position that they can assist, and this is what resulted in multiple subdivision application. She was trying to find a subdivision that she might be able to afford because the extension of Leimomi Street is going to be an expansive endeavor. And so at one point she submitted a two-lot subdivision, but now it’s gone to the six-lot subdivision because she is going to try to recover some of the expenses of extending this County roadway through the project. UNGER: Thank you. Commissioners, any question of the applicant? 3 EXHIBIT A
