Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 04-023) Applicant: Fay Machielse/Mazk Dziatko Request: Open to FA-2a Tax Map Key: 1-4-73:1 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on October 22, 2004, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification from an Open (O) to a Family Agricultural 2-acre (FA-2a) district for approximately 4.861 acres of land. The property is located at the eastern end of Ililani Road and approximately 0.6 mile from the Ililani Road-Kapoho Beach Lots Road intersection, Vacationland Hawaii Subdivision, Unit R, Kapoho, Puna, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the change of zone: The applicants are requesting a change of zone from Open (O) to Family Agricultural 2-acre (FA-2a) to construct atwo-bedroom dwelling for their principal residence on approximately one acre of the 4.861-acre site, and plant a small non- commercial orchazd. Cost of construction is estimated at approximately $60,000. There are no plans to subdivide at this time. In order to consider an azea for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standazds of the Genera] 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 be also considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the County.
