The subject property is located within Kealakehe Homesteads on the south side of Palani Road approximately 1 mile makai of its junction with Mamalahoa Highway across the Kona Hazbor View Subdivision. The subject property will be developed into a five lot subdivision with minimum lot sizes of 10,000 squaze feet which would be compatible with the chazacter of lands surrounding the property. The applicant will provide three lots for sale, develop one lot for her residence and retain the last lot. The subject property, owned in fee by the applicant, is an irregular shaped lot. The parcel was recently grubbed in 1995 and is currently overgrown with secondary weedy trees, herbs and vines. The primary access to the subject property is from Palani Road. The applicant proposes to limit the access points from the five lots to Palani Road by two driveway accesses. The concern of the Department of Public Works to address the improvements to the pazcel's frontage along Palani Road have been included as a condition to ensure adequate and safe traffic conditions in this area. All essential services and facilities are available to the subject property. Wastewater generated by the proposed development will be disposed of in compliance with the Department of Health. Adjacent properties to the subject property consist of Single Family Residential (RS-7.5), Single Family Residential (RS-10) and Agricultural (A-la). To the north of the pazcel is the Creative Day Preschool. Soils within the subject property have been classified as "E" (Very Poor} for agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land ClassiFcation System, and "unclassified" by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) system.
