I would love ifyou could forward my comments to the Planning Commissioner about the possible Napali Brewing Company trying to go into Hanalei town. We are 100% against the idea and everytbing about it. We have many families willing to petition and hold signs and do whatever we can to oppose the idea ofa new 'brewery'/bar in Hanalei. We currently have 5 bars in business in Hanalei stmggling to survive and we all feel it's the last thing our town needs. We will do anything and everything to oppose this and we will definitely be rallying as much as possible to not let this happen. Sorry to sound so upset, it'sjust the last thing we could imagine that we need or want in our town! Mahalo kai'aina Big love Aloha Koral, Moku and 'OHANA 808-634-0194 [email protected] P.0.

STEIN and KIMBERLY ARZADON STEEST, Applicants inthe above-captioned proceedings, by and thioughits undersigned attomey, bereby submits fhe following Supplement No. 1 to Variance Application Permit and Class IV Zoning Permit for a proposed new single-family dwelling imit relative to the following Sections and Revised Exhibits "E-l" and "E-2": SECTION 3: PAST, EXISTING AND PROPOSED USES OF SUBJECT PROPERTY. 3.3 Land Coveraee. AfterfurtherevaluatmgthePiojectbasedonthePlaiming Director's Report, the Applicant worked witfa the Plamung Department to ftu-ther reduce the scope ofthe Project to reduce the square footage ofthe residence to comply with the requests ofthe Plannmg Department. The Subject Property land has a total square footage of 5,065 square feet. The CZO Resort (RR-20) District has a 60% land coverage allocation and the CZO Open District has a 10% land coverage allocation. The total allowable land coverage in the CZO Resort (RR- 20) District is 1,866 square feet and the total allowable land coverage in the CZO Open District is 195 square feet. The proposed habitable space ofthe single-family dwelling unit is located entirely in the CZO Resort (KR-20) District wifb only a small portion of the associated deck in the CZO Open District. The total land coverage in the CZO Resort (RR-20) District has been reduced to 2,342 square feet and the land coverage in the CZO Open District remains at 189 square feet. Therefore, the Project complies with the land coverage calculation requirements for the CZO Open Disteict; however, a variance is required to exceed the land coverage in the CZO RR-20 District by 15% or 2,342 square feet (totaling 75% m the CZO RR-20 Disttict). The reduction eliminates the south facing staircase as requested by the Plamiing Department and reduces the landing pads (W:/DOCS/29103/1/W0165I99.DOCX) for the north facing staircase to a permeable surface. The Applicant has revised the PIan Set in Exhibit "E-l" and the Land Coverage Comparative in Exhibit "E-2" at the request ofthe Plarming Department to further reduce the impervious surfaces ofthe Project. The net result ofthe land coverage for the Subject Property results in 50% as previously approved for other projects in the Kalapaki Circle neighborhood. SECTION5.

Due to the topography of the Subject Property the land coverage will exceed fhe standard 60% by 15% totaling 75%. b. Front Yard Setback to be reduced_to_three (3) feet ('See,_attached "E-1"). revised Exfaibit The deviation from fhe front yard setback is to comply with CZO parking requirements given the topographical challenges ofthe Subject Property. c. Side Yard Setbacksjto be reduced to five (5) feet on each boundary "E-l"'). CSee. attached revised Exhibit The deviation &om the side yard setbaeks is requested due to constraining circumstances ofthe Subject Property given the topograpliical challenges. d.
