p Valerie T. Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 3 The applicants are simply seeking additional time to secure Final Subdivision Approval and to complete the conditions of the original approval of the change of zone request and the tentative subdivision approval. The Planning Department is supportive of the request for a time extension as the applicants are committed to completing the subdivision and related improvements. The proposed request will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide infrastructure and utilities to the property. The property has sufficient access from Kaloko Drive. There is sufficient water and utilities for the proposed request. There are no drainage issues as the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) designates the property as Zone"X", which is an area determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain. Additionally, the applicants have complied with Condition K, which required a fair share payment towards improving the Kaloko Drive/Mamalahoa Highway intersection. The Planning Director also recommends updating the existing conditions to reflect the current standard language and adding new conditions as requested by agencies. The applicants are committed to complying with the conditions of approval, including the requirements for protecting and maintaining the naturally forested areas on their property by creating forest reserve easements and enhanced structural setbacks on the property(s). Lastly, the applicants will be required to comply with all agency requirements and stated conditions of approval. This favorable recommendation is made with the understanding that the applicants remain responsible for complying with all other applicable county, state and federal governmental requirements in connection with uses permitted within the Agricultural zoning district, prior to its commencement and during its establishment upon the subject properties. Additional governmental requirements may include the issuance of building permits, among many others. Compliance with all applicable governmental requirements is a condition of this favorable recommendation; failure to comply with such requirements will be considered a violation that may result in enforcement action by the Planning Department and/or the affected agencies. Based on the above findings, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council to amend Ordinance No. 05 66. In addition, the Planning Director recommends that existing conditions in the Ordinance be revised to reflect the current standard language for conditions of approval. The
