Commissioner <br />Ono wasn’t present for that meeting so I felt it would be necessary to quickly go over the presentation <br />that was done at that particular hearing. If I could get out of the way. We’re looking at a portion of <br />Puna where Hawaiian Paradise Park is situated here at the top of the map. The Keaau-Pahoa Road is <br />located in this vicinity here running towards the middle of the slide, and Ainaloa Subdivision is located <br />th <br />in this area here. The subject property is outlined in red at the corner of 37 Avenue which leads into <br />Orchidland Estates and Ainaloa Boulevard, which runs mauka-makai in this particular location. The <br />subject property is situated within an area designated Agricultural 1-acre, as well as on lands <br />designated Agricultural by the State. This is a close-up of the same slide I showed you earlier. Again, <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
