Good morning, Commissioners. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONERS: Good morning. <br /> <br />COTTLE: The next application is a special permit request and the subject property is located in the Puna <br />district in the Orchidland Estates Subdivision. It actually borders the Ainaloa Subdivision as well. You can see <br />the property shown on the slide outlined in red. And we have the Keaau-Pahoa Road running in a north/south <br />direction in the middle of the slide. And then you can see Ainaloa Boulevard coming off of the highway here. <br />th <br />The subject property is located in this area. And this is a close-up view. Again, Ainaloa Boulevard and 37 <br />Avenue fronts the property as well. This is an aerial view of the property. <br /> <br />Oh, you know what, let me go back to zoning. I skipped that. The property is zoned Agricultural 1-acre which <br />is shown in light green, and most of the properties surrounding it are zoned Agricultural - 1 acre as well. The <br />Ainaloa Longhouse which is a community facility is located directly across Ainaloa Boulevard in this area of <br />dark green which is zoned Open. This is an aerial view of the property. It actually consists of two lots, side by <br />th <br />side; and you can see 37 Avenue here, and then Ainaloa Boulevard again running in like an east-west direction. <br />This is the Ainaloa Longhouse across the street. They also have a mailbox area for the subdivision here. There <br />is a volunteer fire station, and then a park and playfield in the back. There is also, as you can see, some <br />scattered dwellings surrounding the property. <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
