Pete Hoffmann & Committee Members <br /> April 23, 2012 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Bill 99 among other things is to "delete proposed 60-foot wide right-of-ways <br /> connection 1) Akala Road and 2) Chong Street to Akolea Street". This essentially <br /> is the first step in removing Akala Road for future road widening. If the intent is to <br /> remove the road widening setback from Akala Road then there is less need for <br /> Condition F and no need to dedicate the land. We ask that condition F be removed. <br /> Condition M states "...The fair share contribution shall have a combined <br /> value of$12,316.47 per single family residential unit..." be imposed as a condition <br /> of our final subdivision approval. (See Exhibit B) <br /> One reason we ask for the fair share to be waived is our family does not intend to <br /> sell the newly created lot. The newly created lot is for our children and grandchildren. <br /> The amount of$12,316.47 is a financial burden that would be placed on our family. My <br /> wife and I are retired and we are trying to do the best we can with what we have for our <br /> family. To come up with $12,316.47 is not reasonable and would create a financial <br /> hardship for us. We kindly ask you to reconsider implementing the fair share on our <br /> proposed additional one lot subdivision. <br /> Another reason why we ask for the fair share to be waived is the subdivision of <br /> this lot into only one additional lot does not have a major impact on the area. In fact, <br /> there is no significant change to the area. <br /> Our property currently has one home built on it. A portion of this part of the <br /> property is completely covered with lava and has no agriculture value. <br /> Another portion of the property has good soil and our intentions are to someday <br /> have family members construct their home on it while using the remainder of the <br /> property for small-scale agriculture use. Currently, this portion is regularly mowed to <br /> keep the grass under control. <br /> Similarities are',resent <br /> In 2011, our neighbors, Mr. & Mrs. Marc Butz filed an application for rezoning <br /> (REZ 11-141) from A3a zoning to FA-la, seeking the creation of one additional lot at 55 <br /> Akala Road. This matter was approved by the Planning Committee on March 8 (Exhibit <br /> C) with a recommendation to waive the "Fair Share" condition as part of the rezoning <br /> condition. On March 21 (Exhibit D), the Council approved (1st reading) the <br />
