CLARKSON: The next item on the agenda is an application for a Special Permit to allow the establishment of a lunch wagon and related improvements, and I'll ask staff to make a presentation about this application. ROY: Good morning, Commissioners. Today I present to you a Special Permit application for Earl and Jolene Lanning. The project location here, I think a lot of us know this area. This is the Waipi`o Valley overlook, and the project parcel is about 700 feet east of the overlook and the entrance to Waipi`o Valley. The Applicant is requesting to install or place a 16 -foot long by 8 - foot wide double axle, we're calling it a mobile lunch wagon or lunch truck, and the development of six parking stalls on the parcel for visitors. Here's a site plan of the proposed development. A couple interesting points this access to the parcel is a deeded access through the adjacent tmk, which is established already. Here we can see the proposed location of the lunch truck and then the parking stall area. A quick note is that this is actually not State Highway Route 240. The highway actually ends around the corner, and that's Waipi`o Valley Road. 10,141111.11 1.1
