PC-1 ~ l Page 2 August 18, 1998 <br /> used for the production of sugarcane. The Panaewa series consists of shallow, moderately well- <br /> drained silty clay loams that formed in volcanic ash. Panaewa soils are used for sugarcane, <br /> <br /> pasture, and. woodland. In both soil series, the permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and the <br /> erosion hazard is slight. <br /> <br /> Because the subject area has been substantially altered by long-term sugarcane cultivation, <br /> <br /> ranching activities, years of grading and other topographic modifications, and residential <br /> <br /> development, there is no significant flora and fauna resources or habitats nor any archaeological <br /> sites evidently remaining within the area. <br /> Lands surrounding the subject area are primarily residential in nature with single family <br /> <br /> dwellings and/or vacant lots. Lands to the north, east and south of the subject subdivision are <br /> <br /> zoned Single Family Residential (RS-15), and lands to the west are zoned Single Family <br /> Residential (RS-10). Adjacent and east of the subject area i:~ the 86-lot Maunakai Circle <br /> Subdivision which was also developed under the Cluster Plan Development concept with 10,000 <br /> square foot lots. Lands to the south and on the Puna side of Haihai Street consist of the Palakiko <br /> and Hale-O-Lani Subdivisions which are comprised of 15,x;00 square foot lots. <br /> <br /> All utilities are available to the subject area. Wastewater generated by the existing subdivision is <br /> <br /> handled on site by means of cesspools or individual septic systems meeting the approval of the <br /> State Department of Health. <br /> <br /> Your Committee had concerns about Condition C which states that the Department of Parks and <br /> Recreation would "provide ~uinimal park improvements within five years from the date of <br /> acceptance of the park dedication". Because some other parks have long-pending improvements, <br /> it would be impossible to focus on this park; therefore, Your Committee recommended that <br /> Condition C be deleted. <br /> Your Committee concurs with the favorable recommendation of the Planning Director and the <br /> Planning Commission that approval of the change of zone request would result in an appropriate <br /> land use pattern. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 279, as <br /> amended to Bill No. 279, Draft 2, and recommends it pass first reading. <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> X COMMIT T EE~N P NING ~ <br /> SEAN LEITHEAD-TODD, CHAIR <br /> PC REPORT NO. 141 <br /> ADOPTED: SEP 0 2 1998 - <br /> <br />
