excuse me on island and i can say with certainty that the professionalism care and commitment to this community as provided by the role on a public staff is unmatched by any other facility on  we have

this year over fifteen thousand dollars was raised to support the needs of our community we feel so blessed to be sort part of such a wonderful event bringing families together in the name of the united way in addition it draws over one hundred volunteers and empowers community members to give back to their community this unique space expression considering the large pond area offers an opportunity to support our community that cannot be replicated to accommodate the capacity of our event anywhere else on maui in addition we are excited to be partnering with cars on a poly golf

any other course we've worked with and we hope to continue this partnership for years to come thank you  for a five year conditional permit permit for the con a public golf course a special events project temporary event parking lot located on the golf course this application affects three parcels and there are at identified by parcel to four four zero zero eight parcel nine two four four zero zero eight parcel ten and two four four zero one three parcel three the basis for the conditional permit is because parcels nine in ten are zone eight two apartment and parcel three is you know everyone is familiar with the kata play area but this is a regional cation map just to give some idea of where the three parcels are located i'm sorry it's a little hard to see but i believe you all have hand outs  parcel three is located at the southern end of the caught up pollie resort it's located to the south of caught a pulley parkway as you drive in off the highway parcel three is directly to the left  depending on the year it could be less of more than ten or could be less but on average the hosts of the events are required to sign a contract with the golf course these contracts outline such regulations as what the required deposit is for holding the event on the golf course what the curfew is and the specific area that will be utilized for the event in addition the resort property or event organizer notifies the neighboring properties of all events ahead of time and provides contact information in the case of emergency according to con a police security there have been no complaints filed against an event held on the golf courses to date and i believe there was a letter that was submitted from the security firm which states that there had been no complaints filed  so again the condition of permit requests is to allow up to twenty four reserve related and community sponsored events per year for the proposed even areas events will be held at various designated places  courses and i'll go through those in just a minute here the guests for these events are usually shuttled or to the event or walk from nearby or it is or it's these special event areas are fenced off from the rest of the golf course and are held when the golf course is closed i just like to note that the events are typically held one at a time there's never a case where in both courses are closed so the set up break down and clean up of the events are the responsibility of the entity which has booked the event and is hosting the event and the hours of the events are limited so in regards to the proposed special event sites on parcel nine again this is the parcel the northernmost parcel near the sheraton resort on this parcel there are two proposed special events is hard to see on the screen but these are photographs of a typical event set up some parcel  mine parcel ten again the parcel that's located in the center of the resort which features a large pond there is one proposed event site of about three acres again and this is also used for larger events  as i mentioned earlier this is the site of the fishing derby which utilizes that large pond and again a couple of photographs of the project site so this is a north west view of parcel ten in the background is the westin resort and a southwest view of parcel ten this in the corner here is the that pond and this is a photograph of the keiki fishing derby on pursell ten site of the proposed temporary grass parking lot for event use which i will get into in a couple of minutes and again site photographs this is a view looking east  in addition to these special events the conditional permit request is also for the designation of the temporary grass parking lot on parcel three this parking lot would be used for temporary parking for events should events require parking the parking lot would be located behind the paradise grow restaurant personel three and it accommodates approximately one hundred fifteen cars again the applicant is requesting that the conditional permit approve the use of this temporary parking lot for special event parking and this is a figure which shows the way out of the proposed parking again one of the people on a highway in paradise grow restaurant in the parking lot is directly behind that in terms of economic if it's of the events the golf course provides a large unique outdoor setting which has the ability to serve as a venue for large groups the special events have an economic multiplier effect with respect to goods and services that are utilized for the events which thereby benefit local suppliers and employees the events also benefit pecan a poly resort partners through group accommodations mali planning commission reviewed the permit request at its meeting on october fourteenth twenty fourteen at this meeting the commission united miss lee rickard recommended approval of the permit subject to ten conditions  it's noted that condition number seven was amended to state that events on parcel ten should conclude by six p just to summarize the applicant again is seeking a conditional permit to allow special events to be held the mcconnell play golf courses and to approve a temporary parking lot located behind the paradise grow restaurant for temporary event parking the proposed actions are not anticipated to have adverse impacts to the physical or natural conditions of the  is or already permitted how many of the special how many of the special events were it is a bit proportionally teen we don't know but should the total number of twenty four be avoided accordingly chair i did have a chance to speak to the applicant prior to the meeting and i did mention in my presentation that on average there are about ten events per year and again the number can increase or decrease per year in the past year or  guards to various events you know i know the weekly concert i know the fishing turned during tournaments in you know many years we've you know my children grew up doing that every year and with the biggest fear was going get worms so that we could go course for a dinner center those those types of things what we're also including in our number one the region twenty four was items like parking where we use an area for temporary parking and that from our standpoint we're that ends in qana poly they need a place for the participants to park their cars and so we would use our our some our properties for to allow for marathon participation parking and so we have no economic benefit to it every really don't have any really active participation in it it's more of a support and that's where we that may come into the this twenty four eighteen number as opposed to the actual activities that we are involved support type of things that we can do is where that number may come close to that twenty four ok and then there's a chair then i would be looking to put some kind of condition where if it's a support event where parking and i understand parking kaanapali is premium especially when you talk in these various big events like the marathon and others you know you really need an additional space because there's nothing else so you know we'll  talk a little bit more about it but i just want to get a clarification on what this twenty four eighteen really meant if there's all concerts and events that they're holding on there are there sponsoring or somebody sticking up the golf course like you said for a corporate event and that's one issue but if it's supporting supporting other functions that are existing parky then i'd like to make sure that somehow we can give them a little leeway in the area that's all thank you very much thank you members here most to vint be both resort and community sponsored it's not very clear so what i would like to do is consider vision two section one to clarify in and thank you very much for the presentation and as i mentioned many years i've worked out there and con upon the golf course has been a very good neighbor to many of the properties adjacent to it also they have some nice restaurants stare and if you know what i'm talking about you can enjoy that but i think you know when i look at the parking situation and as well as steve events and we have a lot of childhood memories of going down there and fishing and having a grand old time with the family it's a really a family event and i'd like to see that continue along with some of the other activities that they put on trial for the year that really benefit the combine our people you know our children and i and i and i think them very very bothered by some event that is held there and so you guys have done your due diligence of going to it when i reviewed the the plan you have put out for us and they are yes i thought you guys did a real good job so i can support just means that you're acting their good what i call a good neighbor to the community of west and i would like to see them continue hopefully especially the fishing term because one day hopefully soon my grandson will comment i'll take joe just one more thing that i'd like to clear up before we vote on this but there was discussion about what events would and yes there was a proposal to have events on personal ten and at six o'clock that's correct
