Section 2.1.3.d should be deleted as an action item since review of grading and grubbing <br />permit applications by the State Historic Preservation Division is already required and <br />additional review by the recently approved County of Hawaii Cultural Resource <br />Commission will result in excessive delays in granting grading and grubbing permit <br />approvals. This is likely to be viewed as over-regulation by a significant number of <br />people resulting in a decline in voluntary compliance. <br />3 _ There is a significant potential problem in Puna because of large acreages that are zoned <br />in a way that can allow further subdivision. There are, for example, more than 6,004 <br />acres within large parcels ofmore than SO acres that are currently zoned A-1a. <br />Potentially, these A-la zoned areas could result in 6,000 more lots being created in a <br />region that will face severe challenges with the build-out of the existing lots. This is an <br />issue that should be addressed by a comprehensive reduction in the potential zoned <br />density. This mealis a follow-up rezoning action: the proposal in the CDP would not do <br />the rezoning by itself <br />However, the proposal in the CDP would be too restrictive on property owners. For <br />example, the owner of a 49-acre property would be limited to creating one additional Iot <br />and the owner of a parcel of less than five acres could not subdivide at all. This would <br />make it impossible in many cases for subdivisions to allow conveyances to family <br />members, which may be the hope and expectation of many property owners. The <br />PIanning Director recommends amending §3.2.3.b, which allows small-scale <br />subdivisions and is more favorable to the owners of smaller properties as follows: <br />Downzone all Agr.i.cultural (A) zoned parcels .%n the State <br />-8- <br />
