WH �1 �N N x DE - November 9, 2020 Nffq 10 2020 Poe 3 Mr. Michael Yee RECID HAND DELIVERED Planning Director County of Hawaii Planning Department 101 Pauahi St.,Ste 3 Hilo, HI 967X} Re: 18-1354 Nichols Rd., Mt.View, HI 96771,TMK(3) 1-8-002-0164—Request Zoning Reversion to RS-10 Dear Director Yee: We would like to request your assistance to revert the above-mentioned property back to RS-10 from CV-10. We attached a copy of Ordinance No. 12128, effective September 27, 2012 amending the County Zoning Code, changing the district classification from Single-Family Residential—RS-10 to Village Commercial, CV-10. On page 9, it states that the Planning Director may initiate rezoning of the area to its original designation. We purchased this property in 201103 and built a beautiful home for our family and had planned to also have a small auto repair shop. In 2011,we started the long process of changing the zoning to CV-101 in hopes to have a small business and provide a service for the growing community. However, after the premature birth of our daughter in late 2011,we experienced personal and financial hardships that made our dream so much harder to achieve. Over the next few years our dreams shifted to focus on the needs of our children and we now operate a business in Hilo. This change has created a more simple and happy life, close to our family,children's schools and extra-curricular activities. We no longer wish to pursue commercial use on thus property. We listed the property for sale almost 2 years ago and haven't had any luck due to the current zoning. We are currently in escrow and scheduled to close on 12/18/2020. However,in order to obtain final loan approval and closing of this transaction, the property will need to be reverted back to residential. The buyers have informed us that they have absolutely no intention to pursue commercial use on the property as well. We attached a letter from the buyer's agent and signed by the buyers stating this as well. We are very excited that another family will enjoy the beautiful home we built. We are very hopeful that this rezoning process will be a quick process and not extend the closing date so the Bencomo family can enjoy the holidays in their new home. Please feel free to contact us shall you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
