Wainaku Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses 610 Wainaku Avenue • Hilo. Hawaii 96720 • (808) 935-3635 March 17, 1998 Virginia Goldstein Planning Director 25 Aupuni St. Rm. 109 Hilo HI 96720 Dear Ms. Goldstein: We have examined comments made by the Fire Department and Department of Public works regarding AMENDMENT TO CONDITION B OF ORDINANCE NO. 90-144 and therefore make the following comments: RE: Fire Department's requirements We have consulted Richard Kihara, one of the fire inspectors, and he explained that if the subject property is zoned agricuheral, then the requirements as stated in their letter dated February 18, 1998 do not apply as long as any future construction on subject property is limited to one structure. RE: DPW Comments We have noted Memorandum dated February 18, 1998 and have reviewed Memorandums dated October 24, 1995 and July 3, 1996 and therefore provide you with our comments: Requirements involving building codes, generated runoff, earthwork & grading, driveway connections as well as wastewater disposal do not present a problem for us. These requirements can be met. However, in reference to Memorandums dated October 24, 1995 and July 3, 1996, comment numbers 8 and 2 respectively, where it is stated that applicant should improve Kahoa Road fronting lots 42 through 1 by widening pavement to 20 feet with 6 foot paved shoulders - this would be entirely out of reach for us. The sole purpose of our request for subdivision is to be able to sell the upper portion of the subject parcel to generate funds to finalize our loan on the Kingdom Hall. We are not intending to develop the upper property to the point of creating a number of lots. If we were required to make improvements to Kahoa Road, the expense involved would be too great a burden and would defeat our purpose. Since ly, Charles C. Ha'o, Trustee Wainaku Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses 1
