Communication 230 Gill 89 Page 2 Mr. Fukc also states that "the applicant has elected to defer and/or will possibly forgo the construction of a golf course." The Waikoloa Highlands Golf Course received Final Plan Approval from the Planning Department on November 1, 1990. The applicant feels that the elimination of the golf course decreases similarities to the Hokulia project, which was also a residential subdivision with a golf course on State agricultural district land. Via Communication No. 230.7 the applicant requests that Condition H of Bill No. 89 be amended to delete the requirement to obtain reclassification of the property from the Agricultural to the Rural or Urban district prior to final subdivision approval of the project, instead asking that the applicant be given eight months from the effective date of this amendment to complete the State Land Usc ro-dcsignation process. The applicant also adds language requiring the applicant to consult with the Waikoloa Village Association on the economic viability of adding a second golf course in the Waikoloa community and to complete the State Land Use re-designation process prior to starting construction of a golf course. The suggested amendment to Condition H reads as follows: ..I~ rD a.,..l ..tie:.,: ,,..,..,,.,.,1 .,....1:,.....« ,.1..,.:...o,.l ,.f .h,, _ L ..~,..~,r.:~~ , D A 1 F 1. C 1 11 1. D 7 1 1 1. disEriet:~] An application for a State Land Use Rural or Urban district for all lands zoned RA-I a by this ordinance shall be filed with the State Land Usc Commission within eight months of the effective date of this amendment. In either case, no lrradink or env associated penTlit for a kolf course shall be issued until a public meeting with the Waikoloa Village Association is held and the RA- I atoned areas have been reclassified into the State Land Use Rural or Urban district. 'this condition, except for the public meetingportion, may be waived by the Planning Director, after consultation with Corporation Counsel, if an appellate judicial decision, or substantive change to Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, clearly establishes the legality of this project in the Agricultural State Land Use district, including the residential uses of the lots;" Communication No. ?30, in synopsis, describes the Planning Director's findings and recommendations as the fullowing: I . The applicant is reyuesting an amendment to Condition B of Ordinance No. 95-51, to allow an additional ten-year time extension to secure final subdivision approval for not less than 175 lots. Condition B states that final subdivision approval for not less than 175 lots shall be secured within five (5) years from the effective date of this amendment. Condition 6 also required the applicant to install and dedicate traffic signalization improvements at the Waikoloa Road/Paniokl Avenue/Pug Melia Street intersection (improvements outlined in Condition C of Ordinance No. 95-51) prior to final subdivision approval for more than 350 lots of twenty acres or less, or sooner, in the event that warrants for such installation are justified by the chief engineer. 2. The purpose of the original change of zone request (Ordinance No. 90-160, dated Decc7nber 27, 1990) was to allow the development of the Highlands Golf Estates, which would consist of approximately 286 one- to two-acre lots to be integrated within an 18-hole golf course with clubhouse facilities. Future development called for an additional 114 lots for a total of 400 residential lots. PC RI?POR"1' NO. 44
