Staff? <br /> <br />DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning, Members of the Planning Commission. As <br />our new Chairman had mentioned, our first applicant is Fumie Bonk. If I can direct your attention <br />to our presentation screen. The area of this application is within the District of South Kohala. More <br />specifically, we are looking in the Waimea area. Just for reference, you’ll see the subject property <br />identified in a black outline. This would be the Mokuloa Subdivision to your right, or to the east. A <br />well-known area is the Hawaiian Homes Administration Office that’s located just to the east of the <br />subject property. Through the middle of the map, we have Māmalahoa Highway. Access to the <br />subject property is from Kakanihia Place, which is from Māmalahoa Highway. You’ll see the <br />different colors on the map; these represent different zonings. Just for reference, the darker green to <br />the right is the Agricultural 1-acre, the dark blue is Agricultural 40-acres, the lighter green down <br />below identifies Agricultural 5-acres in zoning. On the far left side, those are more the commercial <br />and urban designations. <br />1 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
