Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members:
Change of Zone Application (REZ 97-11)
Applicant: Roy and Eunice Shigenaga
Request: A-l0a to FA-3a
Tax Man Key' 2-2-48:7
The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on November 13, 1997, voted to
recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification
for approximately 20 acres of land from Agricultural (A-l0a) to Family Agricultural (FA-3a).
The property is located within the Panaewa Farm Lots on the north side of Makalika Street
approximately 270 feet east of its intersection with Kanoelehua Avenue (Volcano Road) at
Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending
favorable consideration of the change of zone:
In order to consider any area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies, and standards of the General 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 quality growth
determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of
these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on
other similar areas in the County.
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 2
The proposed Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A-l0a) to Family
Agricultural (FA-3a) zone district would conform to the following goals, policies and
standards of the Land Use and Agriculture Elements of the General Plan:
* Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in
keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County.
* Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community
services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and
facilities.
* The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities
meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social
environment.
* Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to the General Plan designation,
district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with
adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and
public need.
* Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small-scale rural
communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be encouraged in
appropriate locations.
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the
General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standards and
courses of action to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It
reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses.
The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban land use pattern for areas
within the County. The proposed change of zone request conforms to the LUPAG
Map, which designated the area for Low Density Urban Development. Such a
designation may allow for single family residential in character, ancillary community
and public uses, and convenience type commercial uses. The requested Family
Agricultural (FA-3a) designation would allow for residential, agricultural and related
use of the subject property in a manner which would not be contrary to the uses
permitted within the area area designated for Low Density Urban development. The
subject property is situated within the State Land Use Agricultural District. The
applicants' proposal to develop agricultural lots is consistent with the requirements of
Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, otherwise known as the State Land Use Law. A
condition of this approval recommendation will require the applicants to include a
Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
covenant within the deeds of all subdivided lots proposed requiring landowners to
comply with the requirements of the State Land Use Law and the Zoning Code. The
proposed zone change would promote a low density residential-agricultural
development as well as provide opportunities for small-scale agricultural activities
which would be compatible with the surrounding area. Over the years, rezonings
within the immediate vicinity of the subject property resulted in a number of parcels
being rezoned into an A-3a zoned district.
The Land Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating is "E" or "Very
Poor. " The State Department of Agriculture Lands of Importance to the State of
Hawaii (ALISH) Map system classifies the subject property as "Other Important
Agricultural Land." The applicant intends to develop the subject property into five lots
ranging in size from approximately 3.3 to 6.6 acres in size. Such development would
allow the applicant to convey the proposed lots for the small-scale farming of pasture
and other small crops. Also, while the result would be the creation of large lots for
residential purposes, the proposal would still be in keeping with the General Plan
LUPAG Map for low density urban development.
The subject property is located at the outskirts of the City of Hilo but is in close
proximity to schools, commercial areas, employment centers and public safety services.
Access to the subject property from the Volcano Highway (Highway 11) is provided by
Makalika Street. Makalika Street has a paved width of 20 feet with 10 to 15 feet wide
grass shoulders within a 50-foot right-of-way. Makalika Street is able to accommodate
the increase in traffic anticipated to be generated by the proposed subdivision
development. According to the Department of Water Supply, water can be made
available from an existing 12-inch waterline along Makalika Street fronting the
property. The Department of Water Supply has received the required deposit for a
water commitment for four (4) additional units in the proposed 5-unit development and
an amount of 2,400 gallons per day has been granted until September 30, 2000. The
applicants are aware that the proposed five lots are partially situated within the
1,000-foot radius of the Panaewa Drinking Water Well. The applicants are also aware
that any future wastewater treatment system for lots A to E must be situated 1,000 feet
away from the Panaewa Drinking Water Well and must meet any other requirements of
the State Department of Health. A condition will require that the subdivision map
delineates the 1,000-foot radius. All other essential utilities and services are or will be
made available for the proposed development. The property has no severe topographic
or geologic problems which can not be properly rectified or which would render the
land unusable for the proposed agricultural use. There is an existing residential
structure and coffee was previously grown on the property. Therefore, it is not
a

and Members of the County Council

anticipated that endangered or threatened candidate species of flora or fauna nor
significant archaeological sites are located on the subject property.
Based on the foregoing, approval of the change of zone request from A-l0a to FA-3a
would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further the necessity, convenience and
welfare of the general public.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33, the City of Hilo Zone
Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the staff background for your
information.

BACKGROUND REPORT
SCOTT AND SUSAN NAKAHARA
CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 96-9 (REZ 813)
AMFNDMF.NT TO CONDITION F (ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTSI
SCOTT AND SUSAN NAKAHARA are requesting an amendment to Condition F
(roadway improvements) of Ordinance No. 96-9, which reclassified approximately 14.913
acres of land from Agricultural (A-40a) to Agricultural-1 acre (A-la) zoned district. The
property is located between the Mamalahoa Highway and the Old Main Road, north of Paauilo
Village, Opihilala, Hamakua, Hawaii, TMK: 4-3-03:31.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1. Ordinance No 96-9: Effective February 23, 1996, the County Council approved the
applicant's request to reclassify the subject parcel to A-la zoned district. The
applicants proposed to subdivide the property into one acre lots. They reside in a
dwelling on the subject property. (See Exhibit A -Ordinance No. 96-9)
2. January 25, 1997: Applicant submitted a subdivision application to subdivide the
property into 7 lots.
3. February 11, 1997: Letter to Scott T. Nakahara from Department of Water Supply
acknowledging receipt of the $900 water commitment deposit.
4. February 27, 1997: Tentative Approval of the preliminary subdivision plat map
granted by Planning Director.
5. March 15, 1997: Revised preliminary plat map submitted for subdivision.
6. June 13, 1997: Revised Tentative Approval for subdivision granted by Planning
Director.
APPLICANTS' R_F.OLIF.ST
7. Request: The applicants are requesting an amendment to Condition F of Ordinance
No. 96-9 which presently states:
"F. In conjunction with final subdivision approval for the first increment of the
proposed development, the applicant shall:
Attach. C-615
(B-175)
1. Improve the section of Hauola Road fronting the subject property which
lays between Pohakea Road and the opposite side of the western most
driveway or access road into the subdivision lots of the first increment,
whichever distance is greater, to a minimum 20-foot wide pavement
width with 6-foot wide stabilized gravel shoulders;
2. Re-surface the existing roadway pavement of Pohakea Road fronting the
subject property to its intersection with the Hawaii Belt Road;
3. Improve the intersection of Hauola and Pohakea Roads with a minimum
20-foot right-of-way curve radius.
8. Reasons for the request: The applicant's originally intended to provide access to the
proposed subdivided lots from Hauola Road. However, in planning Increment I, the
applicants encountered design limitations which required them to provide access for all
seven lots within Increment I from Pohakea Road. As a result, they are revising their
subdivision plans to utilize Pohakea Road to access all seven lots.
9. Revised Subdivision Map: The Planning Director cannot sanction the specific plans
submitted with this application as they are subject to review under the Subdivision
Code and regulatory requirements of affected agencies. According to the Subdivision
Code, access for more than six lots would require a 20-foot wide pavement within a
50-foot right-of-way.
10. Additional Information: See Exhibit B -Letter of request and maps from Scott
and Susan Nakahara dated August 19, 1997. Note: Although the applicant states
that no access planting screen easements along Hauola Street are indicated on Map
Exhibit B, they are not shown on map. Planting screen easements on the map are
indicated for the Hawaii Belt Road only.
r~~c~'piPTION OF THE PROPERTY A1Ni~ SURROUNn1NG AR_F.A
11. Subject Property: The property is bordered by Mamalahoa Highway, Waipunahina
Gulch, Hauola Road and Pohakea Road. It is oblong in shape and consists of 14.913
acres. The property was involved in two previous State Land Use Boundary Review
actions. During the 1969 Boundary Review, the State Land Use Commission
reclassified the subject property from Agricultural to Urban to allow for proposed
-2-
residential development by the sugar company. However, during the second 5-year
Boundary Review in 1974, the property was reclassified back to Agricultural, with the
concurrence of the Planning Commission. The sugar company at that time intended, to
continue sugar cane production on the property. At the same time, the sugar company
requested Urban designation for about 40 acres adjacent to Paauilo School.
12. Existing Use: The applicants presently reside in the existing single-family dwelling
on the western section of the property which was constructed in 1992. The remaining
portion of the land is presently used for cattle grazing.
13. Surrounding Zoning/Land Uses: The properties to the north, west and south are
within the State Land Use Agricultural District and zoned A-40a by the County Zoning
Code. Lands to [he east and southeast within the Paauilo Village are designated Urban
and are zoned RS-10 and CV-10. Properties within the Paauilo Village consist of a
mix of single-family dwellings and commercial uses, mauka of the village is the
Paauilo School. Properties to the north, west and south of the subject parcel were once
in sugarcane but are now vacant lands owned by Bishop Estate.
i1TIL•IT1ES AND SERVICES
14. Access: Presently, access to the property is from either Hauola Road (Old Mamalahoa
Highway) or Pohakea Road which are County maintained roadways. There is a no
planting screen easement along the Hawaii Belt Road. Hauola Road and Pohakea Road
are substandard or in poor condition which have, respectively, 50-foot right-of--way
with 18-foot wide pavement and grass shoulders, and 40-foot right-of--way with 16-foot
wide pavement and grass shoulders. Access to the existing single-family dwelling is
from Hauola Road.
15. All essential public utilities and services are or will be made available to support the
proposed development.

Dear Chairman Balog & Members of the Planning Commission:
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 96-9 (REZ 813)
Applicants: Scott and Susan Nakahara
Request: Amendment to Condition F (Various Roadway Improvements)
Tax Map Key: 4-3-03: 31: Hauola_ Opihilala Hamakua_ Hawaii
We, Scott and Susan Nakahara, would like to ask for your favorable consideration of our request
to amend Condition F of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 96-9, which changed the district
classification of approximately 14.9 acres of land from an Agricultural-40 acres (A-40a) to an
Agricultural-I acre (A-]a) zoned district in Paauilo. Our request revolves around the need to
relieve ourselves from some of the required roadway improvements specified by Condition F due
to a re-design of our subdivision as well as the phasing of our proposed 13-lot agricultural
subdivision.
Effective February 23, 1996, Change of Zone Ordinance No. 96-9 rezoned the subject property to
an A-la designation to allow us to pursue the development of a 13-lot subdivision with parcels
maintaining a minimum lot size of 1 acre. Due to the substandard condition of both Hauola and
Pohakea Roads, the following Condition F was included as a condition of approval of Ordinance
No. 96-9:
"F. In conjunction with final subdivision approval for the first increment of the proposed
development, the applicant shall:
1. Improve the section of Hauola Road fronting the subject property which lays
between Pohakea Place and the opposite side of the western most driveway or
access road into the subdivision lots of the first increment, whichever distance is
greater, to a minimum 20-foot wide pavement width with 6-foot wide stabilized
gravel shoulders;
EXHIBIT
e
Chairman Balog & Members of the Planning Commission
Page 2
August 19, 1997
2. Re-surface the existing roadway pavement of Pohakea Road fronting the subject
property to its intersection with the Hawaii Belt Road;
3. Improve the intersection of Hauola and Pohakea Roads with a minimum 20-foot
right-of--way curve radius."
Condition F requires various improvements to Hauola and Pohakea Roads due to use of these
roadways for vehicular access to the proposed agricultural lots as shown on our original
subdivision concept plan presented to the Planning Cormission (see attached Exhibit A).
However, in the course of review of Increment I of our proposed subdivision by the Planning
Department (Subd. No. 97-6), we encountered access design limitations which requires us to
provide access to all six lots within Increment I from Pohakea Road. As detailed on the attached
copy of our revised subdivision plat map (Exhibit B), "No access planting screen easements" will
be established along all lots fronting Hauola Road to prohibit vehicular access directly onto
Hauola Road. The redesigned access to Increment I will eliminate direct vehicular impacts to
Hauola Road caused by the proposed subdivision; thereby eliminating the need to provide
immediate and substantial roadway improvements to Hauola Road. We are therefore requesting
your favorable consideration to amend Condition F as follows (material to be deleted is bracketed
and material to be added is underscored):
"F. In conjunction with final subdivision approval for the first increment of the proposed
development, the applicant shall:
1. Improve [the section of Hauola] that portion of Pohakea Road fronting the subject
property [which lays between Pohakea Place and the opposite side of the western
most driveway or access road into the subdivision lots of the first increment,
whichever distance is greaten between its intersection with the Hawaii Belt Road
and Hauola Road, to a minimum 20-foot wide pavement width with 6-foot wide
stabilized gravel shoulders;
(2. Re-surface the existing roadway pavement of Pohakea Road fronting the subject
property to its intersection with the Hawaii Belt Road;]
[3]~. Improve the intersection of Hauola and Pohakea Roads with a minimum 20-foot
right-of--way curve radius."
Chairman Balog & Members of the Planning Commission
Page 3
August 19, 1997
The proposed amendment to Condition F will provide for widening of the existing pavement
width within Pohakea Road to accommodate the added traffic generated by Increment I as well as
provide improvements to the curve radius of the Hauola-Pohakea Road intersection as
recommended by the Department of Public Works.
When we are ready and able to pursue the development of the remaining 7 lots (Increment II)
within our subdivision, we will then be better able to provide the necessary widening
improvements to Hauola Road. Condition G of Ordinance No. 96-9 states that "The balance of
roadway improvements to Hauola Road
fronting the ,subject property shall be improved to a
minimum 20 foot wide pavement with 6
foot wide stabilized gravel shoulders in coy jwictiar with
final subdivision approval of the secatd increment of the proposed development. " We have
every intention of complying fully with the requirements of Condition G upon final subdivision
approval of Increment II.
In summary, our request is simply to structure and phase the improvement of Hauola and Pohakea
Roads in conjunction with the phasing of our proposed subdivision. Your thoughful
consideration of our request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Scott Nakahara
Susan Nakahara

SUBJECT: CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 96-9(REZ 813)
Applicant: Scott & Susan Nakahara _
Request: Amendment to Condition F (Roadway Improvements)
TMK: 4-3-3:031 ~
We have reviewed the subject request and our comments are as follows:
1. Add to the revised Condition F, number 1, after stabilized gravel shoulders;"
"and resurface the aforementioned 20-foot wide pavement."
2. Add to the revised Condition F, number 2, after right-of-way curve radius."
"Dedicate remnant resulting from aforementioned 20-foot radius to the County
and provide intersection improvements meeting with the approval of the DPW."
3. Condition G should be revised to reflect the proposed revision to Condition F.
Condition G refers to "The balance of roadway improvements to Hauola Road..."
However, the revision to Condition F removed the reference to improving Hauola
Road and therefore "The balance" will be confusing. Condition G should be
revised to read:
"G. [The balance of r)Roadway improvements to Hauola Road fronting the
subject property shall be improved to a minimum 20-foot wide pavement
with 6-foot wide stabilized gravel shoulders between the east side of the
intersection of Hauola and Pohakea Roads to the opposite side of the
western most driveway in conjunction with final subdivision approval of the
second increment of the proposed development."
Should there be any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Casey

[3]2. Improve the intersection of Hauola and Pohakea Roads with a minimum 20-foot
right-of--way curve radius."

The proposed amendment to Condition F will provide for widening of the existing pavement
width within Pohakea Road to accommodate the added traffic generated by Increment I as well as
provide improvements to the curve radius of the Hauola-Pohakea Road intersection as
recommended by the Department of Public Works.
When we are ready and able to pursue the development of the remaining 71ots (Increment II)
within our subdivision, we will then be better able to provide the necessary widening
improvements to Hauola Road. Condition G of Ordinance No. 96-9 states that "The balance of
roadway improvements to Hauola Road
fronting the subject property shall be improved to a
minimum 20 foot wide pavement with 6 foot wide stabilized gravel shoulders in conjunction with
final subdivision approval of the second increment of the proposed development. We have
every intention of complying fully with the requirements of Condition G upon final subdivision
approval of Increment II.
In summary, our request is simply to structure and phase the improvement of Hauola and Pohakea
Roads in conjunction with the phasing of our proposed subdivision. Your thoughful
consideration of our request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Scott Nakahara
