The property is <br /> located between Akoni-Pule Highway (Highway 270) and Maliu Road, approximately 1,150 feet <br /> <br /> west of the Maliu Road-Akoni-Pule Highway intersection, Kealahewa 1 s`, North Kohala, Hawaii, <br /> TMK:5-5-3:10. <br /> <br /> APPLICANT'S REQUEST <br /> 1. Request: The applicant originally requested a Change of Zone from Agricultural 20-acre <br /> <br /> (A-20a) to Agricultural 5-acre (A-5a) to subdivide the property into four lots. The <br /> applicant has recently amended his request for a Change of Zone from Agricultural <br /> <br /> 20-acre (A-20a) to Agricultural 10-acre (A-10a) to subdivide the property into two lots <br /> that will be 10+ acres each. The reason for the amended request is because the <br /> <br /> Department of Water Supply is able to provide water for only 2 lots. The two owners, <br /> Eby and Cornelius, would each receive one lot to allow for separate ownership. At this <br /> <br /> time, Bruce Eby occupies a 2-story barn/dwelling and the Cornelius family resides within <br /> a 1-story additional farm dwelling. If approved, the landowners intend to develop a <br /> <br /> propagation nursery/ greenhouse for export of high-end ornamentals, develop an "in <br /> ground" propagation site for coco palms, and continue the fruit orchard and awa farming. <br /> <br /> (Planning Department Exhibit 1 - Change of Zone Application with Amended <br /> Request Letter) <br /> <br /> 2.
