<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Stacy Higa, Chairman <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> the northern portion of the Seascape property (TMK:7-3-10:51), instead of improving <br /> Kakahiaka Street through the subject property to the southern boundary, which connects <br /> to State land to the south (TMK:7-3-9:5). The remainder of the extension would be <br /> deferred until development occurs on the State property or until other road extensions <br /> from the south make it possible to connect to Kakahiaka Street. <br /> <br /> The applicant believes that the improvement of Kakahiaka Street to the southern <br /> boundary of its property would not serve much purpose at this time based on the owner to <br /> the south (State of Hawaii) having no announced development plans for their property. <br /> The applicant believes that the improvement of the road could invite illicit activities <br /> and/or become an illegal refuse site because of non-use of the roadway. <br /> <br /> The Planning Director's favorable recommendation of this amendment request is <br /> based on fact that the land to the south is vacant State land with no firm plans for <br /> development at this time. The amendment approval would be contingent upon the <br /> applicant being required to place a lien against at least one of the parcels resulting from <br /> Subdivision 02-000051 to insure future improvement of the remainder of Kakahiaka <br /> Street. The existing Kahahiaka Steet is County owned and has a right-of-way width of 50 <br /> feet and a 20-foot wide pavement. Kakahiaka Street (TMK:7-3-10:54) will be extended <br /> as a 50-foot wide street to dedicable standards with curb, gutter and sidewalk <br /> improvements along one side of the road through the adjacent Lokahi property to the <br /> subject property. The Department of Public Works has submitted comments and <br /> suggested alternate wording for Condition H, which has been taken into consideration in <br /> drafting the recommended changes. <br /> <br /> The Police Department recommended that the developer be required to comply <br /> with the original Condition H and complete the required section of roadway. They <br /> recommend that the developer install temporary barricades to prevent vehicles from going <br /> beyond the Seascape project until the roadway is completed. <br /> <br /> The General Plan LUPAG Map designates the area as Urban Expansion. The <br /> current zoning of Multiple-Family Residential 4,000 square feet (RM-4) is consistent <br /> with the existing General Plan designation for this area. All essential utilities and <br /> services are available to the site. Compliance with all other conditions of Ordinance No. <br /> 04-106 is still required. <br /> <br /> Based on the above findings, the proposed amendment to Condition H of Change of Zone <br /> Ordinance No. 04-106 is not contrary to the original reasons for approving the Change of Zone. <br />
