Maile David, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii July 25, 2022 Page 2 to Condition H is to clarify the Applicant's obligations to provide these roadway improvements specific to the proposed 33-lot subdivision. • Condition K (Flood Control): The Commission voted to adopt the Planning Director's proposed amendment to Condition K to delete"No residential lots may be created which lack a buildable area. This restriction may be removed by amendment of this ordinance by the County Council." The amendment to Condition K takes into consideration the applicant's intent to construct all required drainage improvements for the area. • Condition Q (Noise Control): The Commission voted to adopt the applicant's proposed amendment to Condition Q to delete a typographical error. The Commission's reasons for favorable consideration of the request follows: The applicant is requesting a change of zone from Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential-15,000 square feet (RS-15) to subdivide the property into thirty- three (33) lots. According to the application, the subdivided lots will be sold on the open market to the general public. The proposed subdivision will be accessed via Haihai Street and Ainaola Drive. Two (2) cul-de-sacs will be built within the subdivision to access various lots. All newly created roadways will be constructed to County dedicable standards, with the exception of one (1) 20-foot wide non-dedicable cul-de-sac, which will be a private road. All lots will have County water and the subdivision will have fire hydrants, as well as overhead utility lines for power, phone, and cable services. There is no County sewer system in the area, therefore owners will construct individual septic wastewater systems meeting with the approval of the Department of Health. The applicant hopes to secure the necessary County rezoning approvals as soon as possible. The applicant hopes to obtain final subdivision approval in 5 years. The estimated cost of the improvements for the project is approximately$4 million. Please note the maximum number of lots that can be created on the 13.838-acre property is forty(40) should the RS-zoning be granted. In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County. The Change of Zone request from Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) to Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet (RS-15) conforms to the goals, policies and standards of
