Dru Kanuha, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 road widening setback on both sides of`Akala Road. A condition of approval was added on the previous change of zone (Ordinance 07-135) that included the property, which required the previous applicants to set aside a 15-foot future road widening setback along the properties frontage with `Akala Road. This future road widening condition will carry over as part of this recommendation. County water can be made available for the proposed subdivision but will require the applicants to extend the existing 6-inch waterline within `Akala Road approximately 95 lineal feet to front the newly created lot. Wastewater will be disposed of by individual wastewater systems meeting the requirements of the Department of Health. All other essential utilities or services are available to the property. There is no severe geological or topographical problem for the property that cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is located in Zone "X", an area determined by FEMA to be located outside of the 500-year floodplain. Should this request be approved,the applicants may apply for an Additional Farm Dwelling, allowing for the construction of a second dwelling unit on each lot. The potential to allow additional dwellings may contribute to the cumulative burden on the existing infrastructure. As such, a condition is included to prohibit a second dwelling unit and a Condominium Property Regime(CPR) on each lot. The condition will require that restrictive covenants be included in the deeds of all the proposed lots for the subdivision prohibiting second dwelling units to preserve the residential/agricultural ambience of the area. Typically the County Council requires that applicants provide a fair share contribution to mitigate the potential regional impacts of their development on public facilities and services such as roads and parks. For Family Agricultural (FA) zoning, the County Council has historically required this contribution for lot sizes of one acre or less. For example, a fair share contribution would not be required for FA-2a zoning but would be required for FA-la zoning. Thus, a condition of approval will be added to require a fair share contribution for the additional lot being proposed by the applicants' future subdivision of the property. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management Area. The property is not situated within the Special Management Area. It is located approximately 4 miles from the nearest coastline
