Our first and only item on the agenda this morning is a Change of Zone application submitted by Robert Hind, III and Margaret Hind. The area of this subject request is within the South Kohala District. More specifically, we are looking in the area around Waimea Park, Parker School. The actual area of the subject application is identified with a red outline. The black outline is also kind of part of this because of the original configuration of the lot currently consists of both the red and the black line. The colors on the map again represent the different zonings, County zonings, in the area. The green represents Agricultural-1 acre, the yellow represents Single Family Residential-10,000 square feet, and that’s mainly consisting in the area that we are looking at here. We do have some Commercial, and that makes up the urban core of Waimea. This is the General Plan Designation for the area; the subject application property area is within the Low Density Urban General Plan Designation. And it is also located within the State Land Use Urban District. 1 EXHIBIT A
