direction here is Kaiimana Drive. Halekoke, I'm sorry, Hilo Heights Subdivision is this subdivision in this area here. Again, this is a close -up, Akolea Road being to the left of this map. Iwipolena Street which goes and connects to Kaumana Drive down here is this roadway here which would eventually be extended to connect to Ainako Drive, Ainako Avenue, I'm sorry. Haleloke Street within Hilo Heights Subdivision is partially constructed and it comes down and it terminates in this location here. The proposed existing 60 -foot wide right -of -way as shown on the Hilo Zone Map is in this vicinity here indicated by this dash line. The intent of that proposed roadway was to connect Akolea Road with Iwipolena Street, which would then be connected to Ainako and provide for this interior type of circulation. But as you can see within 330feet is the existing Haleloke Street, with a proposed subdivision that was recently approved and if constructed would provide for a further extension of Halekoke Street, running just shy of Iwipolena Street. So the function of Haleloke would then serve to replace this proposed roadway shown on the Hilo Zone Map. Again, this is just a copy of the maps showing all of the proposed amendments. What we're having here is moving the existing 60 -foot wide right -of -way to the north to match Halekole Street, so Haleloke would replace that 60 -foot wide proposal, as well as some minor adjustments. There were other roadways in the area that connects to, that were supposed to connect to this right -of -way. Because we're moving it to the north and because all of the lots have already been subdivided, there's going to be a disjoint. So we're basically eliminating the joints. There may be a need in the future upon further investigation to maybe get rid of these future connector roadways that goes to and connects to Kaumana Drive, the extension of Iwipolea Street and Akala Road; but that is something that we'll investigate in the future; and we may bring it before you for consideration. So at this point we ask for your favorable reconsideration of this request. KERN: Any questions for staff? Seeing none, there is nobody signed up from the public to testify on this. So we can take a motion. AU: I move. KERN: Commissioner Au. AU: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move to approve the Planning Director's initiated amendment to Chapter 25, Article 8, Section 25 -8 -33 of the Hawai`i County Code. KERN: Just to clarify, so you're going to send a favorable recommendation? AU: Favorable recommendation, yes. KERN: Is there a second? MOSES: Second. KERN: Okay, great. Discussion? Makes sense to me. Okay, well then, take the vote. ARAI: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Commissioner Au? AU: Aye. ARAI: Commissioner Moses? 2
