The property is located at 13-3545 Maile <br />Street, approximately 930 feet north of its intersection with Malama Street, Leilani Estates <br />Subdivision, Keahialaka, Puna, Hawai‘i, TMK:1-3-014:041. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Okay, next item on the agenda, Applicants James Stapleton and James Ricciuti. <br /> <br />KAY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you County—thank you, Commission members. The <br />next application is for a Special Permit. So, the subject parcel is located in the Puna District, <br />more specifically, it is located in the Leilani Estates Subdivision, which is roughly two miles <br />south of Pāhoa Town. <br /> <br />For reference, we have Highway 130 running north-south on the left side of the slide. Leilani <br />running east-west, and the subject parcel is here on Maile Street outlined in red. Zooming in a <br />little bit here, we see that the zoning for the subject parcel and surrounding parcels is <br />Agricultural – 1 acre. Not on the slide, but is also designated by the State as Agricultural as well. <br /> <br />The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designates the subject parcel and <br />surrounding parcels as Rural. This is seen with most of the non-conforming subdivisions in the <br />Puna area. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
