The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 does not meet Chapter 23 (Subdivision) of the Hawaii County Code for pavement and right-of-way width. All utilities and services are available to the site. County water is available to the project site. One lot will be serviced by the existing cesspool, the other will utilize an individual wastewater system. The subject request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management Area. The property is not located within the Special Management Area. As such, the project site will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There are no identified recreational resources, public access to the shoreline or mountain areas, designated scenic and open space preserves, coastal ecosystems, marine resources or other natural and environmental resources in the immediate project area. Thus, the proposed request and use of the property will not adversely impact those resources. By letter dated September 14, 2011, the applicant requested a letter of no effect from the State Department of Land and Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-HPD). In letters dated October 28, 2011 and December 22, 2011, the DLNR- HPD has indicated that the project will have no adverse effect on historic properties. As the project site is improved with a single-family dwelling and landscaped, no professional flora or fauna study was conducted of the site. Due to the developed state of the project site, the applicants believe that there are no known rare or endangered flora or fauna on the site. The area has not been identified as a significant botanical or biological habitat. Based on the above findings, the approval of the Change of Zone request from an Agricultural (A -la) to a Single Family Residential (RS -20) zoned district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the public. For your favorable consideration, a draft bill amending Section 25-8-3 (North Kona Zone Map) of Chapter 25, Zoning Code, of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition) is transmitted.
