Kamuela HI 96743 Re: Bill No. 96, Draft 2 (Crentry rezoning) Date: 6/16/97 R'e are the four resident members of the Board of Directors of the Kohala Ranch Community Association. We have not called a meeting oCthe full Board, but we believe we can speak for a majority of the people who have purchased lots at Kohala Ranch. We are pleased at the commitment the Crentry people seem to have to creating a quality development on the property makai of Kohala Ranch. Our members do have some concerns, however, as citizens, taxpayers, and neighbors of the project, and as a group many of whose members strongly believe that the North Kohala Coastline should be protected. Our endorsement of this project would be contingent upon these concerns being adequately addressed. Toward that end we propose the following changes and additions to the conditions of rezoning as they appear in Draft 2 of Bill 96. Locations for new conditions to be inserted are suggestions only, any other location would serve as well. L Condition to be inserted after Condition C: "No more than 50 residences shall be created within the subject property, even though the zoning would normally allow a greater number." [The developer has no objection to this.] 2. In Condition D, the first sentence should end' "...shall prohibit the constn,ction of a second dwelling unit or a guest house on any lot, and shall prohibit any application for further subdivision within the project area by any entity." [Guest houses will become de facto second residences or bed and breakfast establishments, and this ~;'ill be very difficult to stop. No one has a real need for a separate guest house, and the sensitive location of this development makes it especially important both to close this loophole and to minimize visual impacts.] 3. Condition to be inserted after Condition D: "A design plan for the overall project and for individual lots shall be prepared poor to issuance of the SMA permit and submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. It shall, among other things, provide minimum setbacks from highway and shore, limit the allowable placement, height and square footage of structures, require earth-tone colors, provide for unobtrusive external lighting, and include any other desirable measures for reducing the visual impacts of the project and maintaining the existing view planes. The plan shalt also specify what measures will be taken to ensure compliance with its provisions." u;,~~. ~i~. 330. oS,- Yt:af. '2oa~resented Gouw~c.,c. J~iif~~ 1 6 1b,% k2e4.
