<br /> Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman <br /> <br /> and Members of the County Council <br /> <br /> Page 9 <br /> The applicants are proposing to create a two lot subdivision using a 2.4412 acre <br /> portion neaz the Kawaihae Road and a 2.5589 acre parcel along Kanehoa Street for <br /> residential/agricultural purposes. <br /> The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the <br /> General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the <br /> coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of <br /> the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes <br /> the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. The subject property <br /> is designated Extensive Agricultural. However, the Anekona Estates Subdivision as <br /> well as the adjacent subdivisions are a mixture of residences and limited agricultural <br /> activities. Therefore, it is determined that the request is consistent with the rural <br /> low-density development form depicted on the LUPAG Map for this area of South <br /> Kohala. <br /> While the potential for intensive and/or extensive agricultural uses may exist, <br /> the project site is comprised of soils classified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, <br /> Soil Conservation Service, as Puu Pa extremely stony very fine sandy loam (PVD), 6 <br /> to 20% slopes. This surface layer is very dark brown extremely stony very fine sandy <br /> loam about 6 inches thick. The next layer is dark-brown and dark, yellowish-brown <br /> very fine sandy loam about 34 inches thick. It is underlain by fragmental Aa lava. <br /> The reaction is medium acid to slightly acid in the surface layer and neutral in the <br /> substratum. Permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is medium, and the erosion <br /> hazard is moderate. These soils are used for pasture. Soils within the subject property <br /> have been classified as "E" (Very Poor) for agricultural productivity by the Land Study <br /> Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System. Finally, soils within the subject <br /> property are "Unclassified" by the ALISH system. <br /> Surrounding lands are located within the State Land Use Commission <br /> Agricultural District and in the County's Agricultural 5-acre and 1-acre zoned districts. <br /> Kanehoa Subdivision, a 26-lot subdivision is located immediately to the east and zoned <br /> A-Sa; Kamuela Plantations, a 10-lot subdivision, is located further to the east and also <br /> zoned A-Sa; and Waimea Landmark Estates, a 26-lot subdivision, is located across the <br /> Kawaihae Road and further [o the northeast and is zoned A-3a. These subdivisions <br /> include single-family residential and agricultural uses and/or vacant lands. There are <br /> approximately 25 lots that are owned through Condominium Property Regimes within <br /> the Anekona and Kanehoa Subdivisions. The Ouli affordable housing project is located <br /> to the west of Anekona Estates and is within the State Land Use Urban District. In <br /> June 1998, the County Council approved a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from <br /> an Agricultural to Rural District and a Change of Zone from A-5a to RA-2a fora 5.00 <br /> <br />
