PC-81 Page 2 October 18,2022 Mr. Pipan noted that Conditions G and H will allow for future connections, and that the dedication of the road widening strip will help facilitate future improvements, which can also be supported by the fair share contributions from the project. He explained that Lot 42 is currently in Escrow, so Mr. Chen did not want to commit to running sewer lines through the lots without knowing what will happen with the lot. Mr. Pipan highlighted Condition P, which requires connection to sewer infrastructure on Lot 42, if it becomes available before subdivision approval. Mr. Pipan said it is a race between this subdivision and'what happens on Lot 42. On October 18, 2022, Chair Kierkiewicz explained that this measure was postponed for the applicant and Council Member Villegas to work together to improve the project. Mr. Pipan, who appeared before Your Committee in the Kona Chambers, explained that this property was denied by the Council several years ago due to disagreements on infrastructure. He believes that this zoning classification is the "goldilocks" scenario of not being too dense and not too sparse. Mr. Pipan summarized the concerns brought up by Your Committee during the last meeting, including the impacts to Hualalai Road, sewer infrastructure, and short term vacation rentals (STVR) and agro-tourism. He proposed several amendments to the Conditions of Approval that guarantees an installment of dry sewer systems,prohibits STVR and agro-tourism through Deed Restrictions, and commits additional fair share contributions to transportation improvements. After extensive discussion on the proposed amendments they were withdrawn to be reworded for better clarity pertaining to the prohibition of STVRs through deed restrictions and sewer infrastructure commitments. Committee Member Villegas thanked the applicant and Mr. Pipan for their willingness to meet and discuss changes to the project, but voiced her opposition to the project. Committee Members Aaron Chung and Tim Richards cautioned against making the project unaffordable by mandating extensive infrastructure improvements. The vote was then taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a favorable recommendation and passed with five "ayes." Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 204, and recommends its passage on first reading. jS AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, CHUNG X DAVID x COMMITTEE ON PLANNING INABA X KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X KIERKIEWICZ X KIMBALL X LEE LOY x ASHLEY L.
