The property is a part of the Ka`oko`a Subdivision located along the west side of <br /> Awa Street, approximately 175 feet south of the Awa Street and Mahiai Street intersection at <br /> Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii. <br /> The Planning Director recommended favorable consideration of the request to the County <br /> Council. The Commission, however, after considering the entire record and testimony, voted to <br /> send an unfavorable recommendation to the County Council. The Commission felt that the <br /> subject request was not in the best interest of the community and that the preservation of <br /> agricultural lands is important. <br /> We are enclosing a draft bill to amend Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), Chapter 25 <br /> (Zoning Code) of the Hawai`i County Code. Please note that because of this unfavorable <br /> recommendation, there are no proposed conditions attached to the draft bill. <br /> Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
