Yamashiro per Communication No. 301, dated May 7, 1997, regazding the change of zone request by Rodney Inaba at Puukapu Homesteads, First Series, Puukapu, South Kohala, Hawaii, TMK 6-4-01:35, reports as follows: Bill No. 86 amends Section 25-8-11 (Lalamilo-Puukapu Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification for approximately 15.928 acres of land from Agricultural (A-40a) to Family Agricultural (FA-3a) zoned district. The subject property, is located on the north side of Mamalahoa Highway approximately 2,000 feet east (Hamakua direction) of Don's Pake Kitchen where the applicant wishes to subdivide the property into four lots. Three of the lots is proposed to be approximately 3.59 acres and one lot is proposed to be approximately 4.04 acres. Jeffrey M. and Dianne Flattery Lee who together own an undivided one-half interest and Carrie A. Inaba who owns the remaining undivided one-half interest have authorized the applicant to process the change of zone request. In 1974, the applicant submitted an application for a change of zone to subdivide the subject property from an A-40a to an A-Sa zone district to allow for the subdivision of the property into two lots of 7.96 acre each. In 1975, the Planning Director denied the change of zone application which was historically final. Only recommendations for approval were forwarded to the Council for final adoption. With the adoption of Ordinance No. 84-82, the Planning Director and Commission now forwazds either a denial or approval recommendation for Council action. In 1995, the applicant submitted an application for a change of zone from an A-40a to an A-3a zoned district. Although both the Planning Director and the Commission recommended favorable consideration, the Planning Committee expressed similaz concerns mirrored from the 1975 Planning Director's reasons for a denial recommendation. The Planning Committee deferred and referred the bill (Bill No. 106) to the Planning Department to consider the designation of the subject property to a lesser density. Bill No. 86 replaces Bill No. 106. Access to the subject property is off Mamalahoa Highway, a county roadway with a 60-foot wide right-of--way with a 20-foot wide pavement. The applicant is proposing a 1.102-acre roadway lot to create a 50-foot wide roadway running the length of the front proposed lots and perpendicular to Mamalahoa Highway. PC REPORT NO. 56
