Kenoi, dated September 28,2009, presents a Request for Change of District Classification by Edward Nagata. Bill No. 155 seeks to change the zoning from Agricultural- 3 Acres (A-3a) to Family Agriculture - 1 acre (FA-1a) for the parcel which is approximately 5.50 acres in size. The property is located along the southeast side of Ainaola Drive, approximately 1,200 feet west of the Ainaloa Drive - Ainalako Road intersection, Waiakea Homestead 2nd Series, South Hilo, Hawai'i, TMK: 2-4-31:08 There was no public testimony on the matter. The applicant, Edward Nagata, appeared before your Committee. The applicant stated that he wants to subdivide the property into 4 one-acre plus parcels to be distributed to family members. The applicant requested clarification regarding Condition F which requires the applicant to subdivide a fifteen (15)-foot wide fl1ture road widening strip along the entire property frontage of Ainaola Drive, and to dedicate to the County the future road widening strip within five (5) years from the effective date of the ordinance. Mr. Nagata wanted to know if the road widening and dedication would be credited to his fair share contributions. Planning Director Bobby Jean Leithead Todd responded that since the road in question is a regional road, the cost \vould be applied to the applicant's fair share. Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable recommendation for approval of the re-zoning request. PC Report 48 ,. ,;;
