REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PLANNING DATE: August 21, 2006 Re: Comm. No. 935Bi11 Na. 299 PLACE: Council Chambers TIME: 2:00 p.m. Council Chair and Members Hawaii County Council Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Communication 935, Bill No. 299, transmitted by Mayor Harry Kim, dated May 30, 2006, regarding an Amendment to Condition H of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 04-106, by Seascape Development, LLC, TMK: 7-3-10: portion 3. Bill No. 299 is an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 04-106, that reclassified property owned by applicant from an Agricultural 5-acre (A-Sa) to a Multiple Family Residential - 4,000 squaze feet (RM-4) district, at Ooma ls`, North Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-3-010:051 (formerly 7-3-010: Portion of 3). Communication No. 935 reports that the Hawaii County Planning Commission, as required by the Hawaii County Charter, Chapter 4, Section 6-4.3(C), considered the above request and accompanying Bill No. 299 on May 5, 2006. The Commission concurred with the Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the request which can be summarized as follows: 1. The State Land Use Boundary was amended from Agricultural to Urban for the subject property under Ordinance No. 04-105 and the property was rezoned from Agricultural 5-acre (A-Sa) to Multiple-Family Residentia14,000 square feet (RM-4) under Ordinance 04-106 to allow development of a 100-unit affordable housing project. 2. Condition H of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 04-106 states the applicant shall construct the extension of Kakahiaka Street through the subject property (TMK: 7-3-10:3) as a 50-foot wide street to dedicable standards with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along one side of the road. Condition H also provides that applicant shall construct all improvements prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy and dedicate them to the County upon request. 3. Applicant's request is to amend Condition H of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 04-106 and limit improvement of the extension of Kakahiaka Street to the northern portion of Seascape property (TMK: 7-3-10:51) instead of improving Kakahiaka Street through the subject property to the southern boundary which connects to State land to the south (TMK: 7-3-9-5). The amendment would also defer the remainder of the extension until the State develops its property or until other road extensions from the south make it possible to connect to Kakahiaka Street. 4. The Planning Director's favorable recommendation of this amendment request is based on the fact that land to the south of applicant's property is vacant State land that has no firm plans for development at this time. Additionally, amendment approval would be contingent upon applicant placing a lien against at least one of its Tots to insure future improvement of the remainder of Kakahiaka Street. PC REPORT NO. 108
