see, surrounding zoning is similarly Agricultural 5-acre here above the property, Agricultural-1
<br /> acre, there's some Agricultural-3 acre, and then toward the top of the screen some Single-Family
<br /> Residential zoning, 10,000- and 20,000-square foot, respectively. It should be noted that
<br /> although the area here is zoned as Agricultural 5-acre, the lot sizes are more consistent with a
<br /> higher density, roughly 10 to 15,000 square feet. Across Mamalahoa Highway, again, consistent
<br /> with Matsuyama Stores, is some Neighborhood Commercial zoning, and then further
<br /> Agricultural zoning mauka of the roadway.
<br /> The State Land Use Boundary designation for the subject parcel and some of the surrounding
<br /> area is Agricultural. The State Land Use designation to, above this, or to north of the subject
<br /> parcel is Urban as indicated in the pink color, and the areas to the south, east, and west are also
<br /> Agricultural as indicated in the green color.
<br /> The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map, or LUPAG Map, designates the
<br /> subject parcel and the surrounding area as Low Density Urban. This designation would allow for
<br /> a single-family residential development for up to,six units per acre.
<br /> The Kona CDP designates the subject parcel, again here outlined in red, as within the Kona
<br /> Urban Area as indicated by this red line toward the right side of the screen. Within the Kona
<br /> Urban Area, Kona CDP policy for rezoning allows for infill rezoning, which would allow for
<br /> properties under 20 acres to be rezoned,provided that they are within developments, or between
<br /> developments that are leapfrog them; that seems to be the case here.
<br /> Here is an aerial photograph of the subject parcel, again, in this case outlined in blue,
<br /> Mamalahoa Highway running generally north-south through the right side of the slide, with
<br /> Matsuyama Store, the Kona Palisades Subdivision here along Ka`immani Drive, and then
<br /> Ihumoe Street which cul-de-sacs here at the top, or the bottom portion of the parcel. Below that
<br /> is Kona Acres, or within Kona Acres Subdivision, and there's some larger parcels here. The
<br /> areas to the upper side are generally residential in nature with mostly single-family dwellings,
<br /> and then the areas to the south here are residential and small farms.
<br /> Here is the applicants' submitted site plan. Again,just for reference, we've got Mamalahoa
<br /> Highway here,Ka`iminani Drive, coming through `Ili`ili Street and then hitting Ihumoe Street.
<br /> The applicants again are proposing a six-lot subdivision. This is their initial layout that they are
<br /> showing; again, each of the six habitable parcels would be 22,000 square feet in size as a
<br /> minimum, with a proposed non-dedicable roadway here that would further cul-de-sac out at the
<br /> end and some flag lots toward the back of the property. It should be noted that this area on
<br /> proposed lot 5 is the general location of the two archaeological sites that have been a topic of
<br /> discussion. What this shows here again is the general location because the metes and bounds
<br /> survey that was required by the preservation plan has yet to be conducted, so this just gives you a
<br /> visual idea of where it could be. Also, this shows just the 10-foot permanent buffer around those
<br /> sites and not the 20-foot temporary buffer that is required by the preservation plan. We had
<br /> some concerns when we looked at the application that if you add the extra 10 feet, it might make
<br /> development of the subdivision somewhat difficult, so there's some discussion back and forth
<br /> with the applicant on how they intend to deal with that. And then one of the things I want to
<br /> point out here is an easement P-1, which is a no-access planting screen that was added to this
<br /> parcel as a condition of the subdivision that created the lot. This would ensure that there will be
