KAUINUI <br /> CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION 93-2 <br /> <br /> Dennis K. Kauinui is requesting a Change of Zone for approximately 5.476 acres of <br /> land from an Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a) to a Family Agricultural-1 acre (FA-la) zoned <br /> <br /> district. The application was originally requested from A-20a to A-la and relative to County <br /> Council's Bill No. 126. The property is located on the east side of the Hilo-Volcano <br /> <br /> Highway, along E. Kipimana Road and Shipman Road, approximately 1,000 east from its <br /> intersection with E. Kipimana Road at Keaau, Puna, Hawaii, TMK: 1-6-141:10. <br /> <br /> BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br /> 1. Denial of Original Request by Planning Commission: The Planning Commission at <br /> <br /> its July 15, 1993 denied the applicant's request to rezone the subject property from <br /> A-20a to A-la due to the fact that adequate access was not available to the subject <br /> <br /> property. The applicant would have had to resurface and widen the pavement in order <br /> to accommodate the proposed subdivision, which was not feasible at the time. <br /> <br /> 2. County Council: The request was forwarded to the County Council via Mayor <br /> Yamashiro on August 5, 1993. The request was sent to the Planning Committee, <br /> <br /> however, no action was taken. The application was returned to the Planning <br /> <br /> Commission from the County Council by letter dated July 7, 1997 to request updated <br /> information and comments from appropriate agencies. <br /> <br /> APPLICANT'S RFOJJEST <br /> 3. Request: The Applicant has revised his change of zone request from A-20a to FA-la, <br /> <br /> instead of A-la, due to the new Zoning Code which deleted Agricultural zoning <br /> designations less than A-5a. The request to FA-la would still allow for limited-scale <br /> <br /> agricultural activities associated with residential activities. The applicant's original <br /> request remains the same - to rezone the subject property, which was owned by the <br /> <br /> applicant's mother, in order to subdivide the property into 4 parcels of approximately <br /> 1.369 acres for her children. The applicant intends to ultimately build residences on <br /> <br /> <br /> ATTACH. C-794 <br /> (B-218) <br />
