Communication 766 Bill 251 Page 5 of 5 single access subdivision. Mr. Hoffmann stated that knowing the application is supposed to be Urban expansion and moving forward with a road not built to county dedicable standards, he felt that maybe this development shouldn't be constructed in the manner in which the it's being looked at. As to the affordable housing units, Mr. Hoffmann would like to make certain that Mr. Carr's representation of keeping the units affordable for no less than twenty years, happens. Council Vice Chair Virginia Isbell stated that with respect to the lower portion of applicant's property, the applicant needs to go back to the drawing board and think about a lateral road through Queen Liliuokalani Trust property. She said it would certainly help to have a lateral road going north towards Kohala. Committee Chair Pilago noted for afifty-seven 1-acre agriculture development that applicant notes lacked water, how would this application be eligible for an agricultural zoning use. Mr. Pilago stated the Hawaii County General plan clearly states that proper zoning for this parcel is urban or rural and, if given that criteria, the applicant would have had to build proper roads, provide adequate water and infrastructure. Mr. Pilago asked the applicant if they were doing agriculture to get by with not building roads, providing adequate water and infrastructure. Mr. Pilago also noted that the TIAR did not address comments raised by the Department of Public Works. Committee Chair Pilago stated that landowners and neighbors are cutting deals alongside each other (a road for water, etc.) and that this is happening and deals are being struck outside of the Department how these things will be provided. In response, Director Yuen stated he doesn't have a problem with it because it doesn't detract from what they are going to do. Chairman Pilago stated he preferred to see a binding agreement between the Salvation Army and SCD. Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for approval of the Change of Zone request. Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 251, as amended to Draft 2, and recommends it pass first reading. and avES noes a&e ex Respectfully submitted, ARAKAKI x HIGH x COMMITTEE ON P ANNING HOFFMANN x HOLSCHUH x . 1 r IKEDA x ISBELL x K.
