<br />
<br /> Because this item was one of several items on three committee agendas which were related,
<br /> Bill 236 was postponed to a Joint Committee Meeting on Planning, Finance, and Public Works
<br /> and Intergovernmental Relations, which was convened at the end of the scheduled committees
<br /> for the day. The Chairman of each committee consecutively called the meetings to order and
<br /> relinquished their respective chairs to Council Chair Pete Hoffmann.
<br />
<br /> Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill 236, reports as follows:
<br />
<br /> Bill 236, transmitted via Communication 997 from Mayor Harry Kim, dated January 29, 2008,
<br /> presents an amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 96-8 by amending the portion of
<br /> Condition LA relating to constructing a barricade or breakaway gate that prevents the use of
<br /> Haleki`i Street as a vehicular thoroughfare prior to the opening of the entire Mamalahoa Bypass.
<br /> Ordinance No. 96-8 reclassified certain lands from Agricultural 5-acre (A-5a) and Unplanned
<br /> (U) to Agricultural 1-acre (A-la) at Honuaino 3rd and 4d', Hokukano 1't and 2nd, Kanaueue I'
<br /> and 2nd, Haleki`i, Keekee 1't and 2nd, Ilikahi, Kanakau l'' and 2nd, Kalukalu 1~`, 2nd and 3rd, and
<br /> Onouli 1st, North and South Kona, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Key: 7-9-12:4, 6, 9, 29;
<br /> 8-1-4.3, 56, 59-62, 64, 70; 8-1-26:1-3, 5-9,11-57; 8-1-27:1-15, 17-26, 33-38, 43; 8-1-28:1-3,
<br /> 7-18, 28-38, 40-43; 8-1-29:1, 2, 4, 6-46, 53-59, 62, 63; 8-1-30:1-9, 49, 51 (formerly 7-9-6:
<br /> portion of 1, 7-9-12• portions of 3 and 4 and 8-1-4: portion of 3).
<br /> The provisions of Condition L required the developer to build the Mamalahoa Bypass from
<br /> Keauhou to Napo`opo`o and extend Haleki`i to connect with it. The purpose of Condition LA
<br /> was to prevent the use of Haleki` i Street as a vehicular thoroughfare between the existing
<br /> Mamalahoa Highway and a portion of the Mamalahoa Highway Bypass until the entire proposed
<br /> Mamalahoa Highway Bypass between the vicinity of Keauhou and Captain Cook had been
<br /> completed and opened for general public use. Completion of physical connection of Haleki`i
<br /> Street to the Mamalahoa Bypass is expected to be usable by the public in April 2008, however,
<br /> further extension to Napo`opo`o is uncertain due to resistance of one landowner (Coupe), to the
<br /> acquisition of property necessary to complete the right-of-way.
