PC-3 Page 2 December 19, 2000 <br /> Access to the property will be provided through Bayview Estates, via Kaluna Street, which connects with <br /> Ali`i Drive and Keali`i Street. The proposed Mamalahoa Highway Bypass Road is located makai of the <br /> subject property at the terminus of Ali`i Drive in Keauhou. <br /> Steve Lim, representative for the applicant, explained that the land is owned by a number of different <br /> individuals, so the segmentation issue mentioned by the Land Use Commission does not apply. He also <br /> explained that the KIC (Karnehameha Investment Corporation) property is located to the south and <br /> adjacent to this project and was recently rezoned. Because of the recent rezonings, the applicant wanted to <br /> be consistent with the surrounding zonings. <br /> Committee Member Julie Jacobson asked how an archaeological assessment can be changed because an <br /> earlier assessment was no longer assessed as significant. Mr. Lim explained that studies were conducted, <br /> and a determination was made from the studies that the site no longer held any great significance. <br /> Ms. Jacobson also explained that she would like to preserve the area, even if small, because Kona is <br /> lacking in regional parks, and she would like to see this land either converted to a park or used for <br /> agricultural purposes or retained for future possibilities. <br /> Your Chair mentioned that she would look into the possibility of adding a condition to collect fair share <br /> contributions for education, like a similar zoning, which was recently discussed in the Planning <br /> Committee. <br /> Your Committee did not entertain further discussion on this measure. <br /> Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director for recommending a <br /> favorable consideration for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment request. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 9, and recommends it <br /> pass first reading. <br /> AYES NOES A & E EX <br /> LEITHEAD-TODD X <br /> <br /> TYLER X Respectfully submitted <br /> ARAKAKI X COMMITTEE PL.4 G <br /> CHUNG X ~ ~!I <br /> ELARIONOFF X 6 <br /> <br /> JACOBSON X OB JEAN LEITHEAD-TODD, CHAIR <br /> PIS[CCH10 X <br /> SAFARIK X PC REPORT NO. 3 <br /> YAGONG X ADOPTED: ~~N 10 <br /> <br />
