On behalf of the Applicant,Ms.Ellen Garver we would like to request an amendment to the above zoning approval to allow for more time to complete the final subdivision. The Applicant has received preliminary subdivision approval(SUB 2004-0037), acquired water commitments, successfully acquired a necessary State road remnant and completed negotiations with the Department of Public Works to meet the conditions laid out in the subdivision approval. The current deadline to complete construction of outstanding conditions is May10,2012. The Applicant is not able to meet this deadline and requests an amendment to the original Change of Zone approval for an additional five years to allow for additional time to complete the project and improve market conditions to enable the needed investment. The project involves a five lot subdivision of a 3.147 acre parcel that runs parallel to Ahikawa Street in Kalaoa 4t'. Lots will be no less than 20,000 square feet each. Access to four of the five lots will be from a currently unimproved road extension over Leimomi St.from Ahikawa Street. The fifth lot will be accessed from Mamalahoa Highway in a manner already approved by State DOT. The Kona Community Development Plan(KCDP),which was adopted after the subject Change of Zone was approved,requires a review of KCDP goals prior to the approval of extensions for existing land use approvals. The related portions of the plan can be summarized as follow: • The property is inside the designated Kona Urban Area as delineated in the Official Kona Land Use Map(Figure 4-7). • The property is not part of any designated Regional or Neighborhood scale Transit Orient Development(TOD)designation as shown on the Official Kona Land Use Map. • The Property is not associated with any of identified concurrency areas laid out in the Concurrency Table 4-1. • There are no significant cultural sites on the property as determined by the State Historic Preservation Office in their"No Effect"letter submitted with the original Change of Zone Request. • There are no significant natural resources associated with the property that have not been previously considered. Transportation Objective 2.1 requires that new development prioritize connectivity to insure that new growth enables transportation linkage between development areas.
