BKu yOLOS-5/14/98 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND REPORT IRIS H. KUWAYE CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 98-4) IRIS H. KUWAYE is requesting a Change of Zone by changing the district classification from Double Family Residential (RD-3.75) to General Commercial (CG-10) for approximately 12,520 square feet of land. The property is located on the southeast comer of the Mohouli and Lei Streets intersection, across the Chiefess Kapiolani School and Park, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: 2-2-21:18. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Land Ownership: The landowner of the subject property is Iris Kuwaye, Yoshinobu Kuwaye, and Michie Kuwaye. By letter of authorization, Yoshinobu Kuwaye and Michie Kuwaye have granted permission to Iris Kuwaye to file this request. APPLICANT'S REQUEST 2. Request: The applicant is requesting the change of zone in order to construct a small office building with State Faun Insurance as the primary tenant, with additional space for possibly two other small tenants. State Farm Insurance is currently located on the corner of Mohouli and Kilauea Street, and the site lacks adequate parking. Because the subject property is in an area with various existing commercial uses along Mohouli Street, the relocation to the proposed site will enable State Farm Insurance to better serve their clients. 3. Conceptual Plans: Proposed plans indicate an approximate 2,800 square foot 45-foot high, two-story rectangular-shaped building. A total of 17 parking spaces, including one handicapped-accessible stall, are proposed to be located along Lei Street. The proposed access to the property is from Mohouli Street. Proposed plans further indicate a paved front, side and rear yard. 4. Number of Employees: State Farm Insurance is currently staffed with five employees. The applicant estimates two additional employees each for the other two tenants, for an estimated total number of nine employees for businesses in the ATTACH. C-878 (B-260)
