Valerie Poindexter, Council Chairwoman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Subsequently in September of 2000, portions of the original lands to be used for the Amanresort, more specifically lands mauka of the old government road were proposed to be developed by a new landowner, Trees of Kukuihaele (Tom Heers). The development involved TMKs: 4-8-6: 003, 013 and a portion of 044. The applicant requested a change of zone from V-43 to V-25 to develop a retreat resort with 40 detached units or hales over the approximately 32-acre site. Ordinance No. 01-22 was approved with conditions by the County Council, effective March 6, 2001 for the development. Additionally, based on inactivity of the Amanresort development and non- compliance of the conditions of Ordinance No. 94-63, the Planning Director initiated actions to reclassify TMK: 4-8-006: 043, and portions of 009 & 011 back to their original State Land Use Designation of Agricultural. Concurrently, the Planning Director initiated action to reclassify TMK: 4-8-006: 043, and portions of 009 & 011 from RS-15, V-18, V43 and A-1 a back to their original zoning designation of A-40a. Lastly, the conditions of Ordinance No. 94-63 were repealed since the Amanresort wasn't going to be developed. Currently, the Planning Director is initiating action to reclassify TMK: 4-8-6:003, 013 and 069 from Resort-Hotel (V-25) to a much lower density of Single-Family Residential (RS-5a and RS-10a). This action is based on the inactivity of the Trees of Kukuihaele development and the non-compliance of the conditions of Ordinance No. 01-22. The result of the Planning Director's action will be that the subject properties will not have the option of being further subdivided. Additionally, each property would be allowed one single-family dwelling and the option of having an ohana dwelling. Lastly, the conditions of Ordinance No. 01-22 will be repealed since the Trees of Kukuihaele is not going to be developed. Further, we have a letter dated March 15, 2016 from Mr. Sidney Fuke, who is the representative for the owner of the subject properties (Kukuiheale Plantation House, LLC), who is supportive of the Planning Director's initiated downzoning for the properties. Based on the above findings, a favorable recommendation of the Planning Director's initiated action to reclassify lands from Resort-Hotel (V-25) to Single-Family Residential (RS- 5a and RS-l0a) covered by TMKs: 4-8-6:003, 013 and 069 would result in an appropriate land use pattern and would be in the best interest of the general public.
