PC-101 - 2 - August 13, 2002 There are no known or recorded rare or endangered animal or plant life in the area. An archaeological inventory survey and mitigation plan prepared by Haun and Associates identify 22 sites with 134 component features. All 22 sites were assessed as significant for information content, and of these 22, seventeen were assessed solely for information content with no further work of preservation recommended. The remaining five sites have the potential to yield information important for understanding prehistoric and early historic land use and recommended for data recovery. The land owner decided to preserve four of the five sites leaving only one site to be subjected to data recovery. Access to the subject property is through Kawena Street in the Kealoha Subdivision. Although the roads for the proposed subdivision are currently proposed as private and not for immediate dedication to the County, future development mauka of the current project site may provide future opportunities for road connections. Testimonies submitted to the Council by residents from the area oppose this development because of the traffic impact concerns. Water can be made available to the site from an existing County water system in the Kona Heights Subdivision. According to the Department of Water Supply, only a total of 7 water units can be made available to support the proposed 15-lot subdivision. Discussion between Your Committee and the applicant's representative, Greg Mooers, informed us that there is now ample water available for this development. Since there is no municipal wastewater system available in the area, wastewater will he treated in individual wastewater systems. All other essential utilities and services are available to the subject property. First agendized on July 2, 2002, this measure was deferred because the applicant's representative was out of town. Then on July 30, 2002, the measure was again deferred until today because Committee Members had questions for the Department of Public Works. Bill No. 232, Draft 2, with the following amendments was circulated and approved by Your Committee. 1. SECTION 2. Amends the first sentence of SECTION 2 by inserting "standard language to read "In accordance with Section 25-2-44, Hawaii County Code, the County Council finds the following conditions are:". 2. SECTION 2.

Therefore, this change in district classification is conditioned upon the following:" 3. SECTION 2. Includes some housekeeping amendments in the text of the justification portion. 4. Condition inserts "or condominium property regimes" into the first sentence. Deletes the last two sentences: "This restriction may be removed by amendment of this ordinance.
