Communication 158 (2000) Bill 44 Page 3 feet west of the project area , the Kaumana Houselots, zoned RS -10, is located approximately 1,000 feet north of the project area along Kaumana Drive, and the 100 lot Hilo Country Club Estates zoned RS -7.5, and the 55 -lot Park Hokulani Subdivision zoned A -20a are located southeast of Wilder Road. The proposed project would complement the existing agricultural/residential character of the surrounding area and be consistent with the existing land uses in the immediate vicinity. The one acre lot sizes will provide opportunities for those residents who wish to pursue limited agricultural activities but are unable to commit to the financial or labor demands of the larger 20 -acre parcels. All utilities and services are or will be made available to the project site. Although received back in November 2000, this measure was not agendized until today at the request of the applicant. Because this project is directly impacted by the alignment of Saddle Road and the alignment of Puainako Street, the applicant chose to defer this measure until the logistics could be worked out. Although the alignment of Saddle Road has not been clearly defined as yet, the applicant has proposed a subdivision plan which is subject to revision based on the final alignment of Saddle Road. To address these concerns as well as the drainage and flooding issues, the applicant has since met with the Department of Public Works. To further respond to Committee Curtis Tyler's question about the delay in hearing this measure, Your Chair explained that she had met with the applicants, and asked them to help alleviate the flooding issue by devising a way to perhaps slow down the flow of the water, hence the inclusion of the five -acre park which also doubles as a flood retention basin. Your Chair submitted a proposal to include the fair share contributions which were not included in the original bill. Committee Member Tyler also proposed the following amendments in addition to the inclusion of the fair share condition: To include a condition to prohibit second dwellings and condominium property regimes. 2. To include the condition recommended by Paul LcMahieu on August 23, 2000 3. To include the condition for an annual progress report. Committee members asked that representatives from the Planning Department and the Department of Public Works be present when this measure is heard at the Council level. Your Committee did not entertain further discussion on this measure. At today's meeting, this measure received four aye votes and two no votes. Because Council rules dictate that five votes are needed to pass a measure, Your Committee will be submitting an unfavorable recommendation to the Council based on the votes reflected below.
