! t lot with the flag pole being on the eastern side of the property. Subdivision improvements are estimated to cost approximately 20,000 dollars, and the applicant hopes to have the land subdivided before the end of 2019. The zoning for the subject parcel is Agricultural-40 acres as indicated in the blue. There is some Agricultural-1 acre zoning and indicated in the green. And I apologize about these other designations here that was just a mistake; those are, there is no General Commercial in that area. Again, the properties directly adjacent to the east have been rezoned from Agricultural-40 acres to Agricultural-5 acres, in the case of the property directly adjacent,back in 2011. The State Land Use Boundary designation for the subject parcel and surrounding area is Agricultural. And the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map designation for the subject parcel is split between Important Agricultural Land as indicated in the green on the southern portion of the property and Extensive Agricultural on the northern portion of the property. Again, the Ho`onani Subdivision here is designated as Rural and the rest of the surrounding area is a mix of those Important Agricultural Lands, Extensive Agriculture and then Low Density Urban as indicated mustard color to the west. The South Kohala Community Development-Plan went through and had town conceptual plans for Waimea, and this comes from the CDP. The subject parcel is located generally in this area and is designated in what they call the Small Farms and Ranches Preservation Program; that's a group of about 40 lots from Mud Lane going west, and the designation there is just these are lots that are generally still used for agriculture and have not been rezoned and subdivided for residential purposes. And the intention of the CDP conceptual plan in that area was to maintain that, so generally for open space and character of the area. The two lots subdivision, the Director believes, would maintain the requirement, or support the requirement in the CDP. Here is an aerial photograph, two aerial photographs, of the subject parcel. Again, on the left hand side we've got the subject parcel here, the Ho`onani Subdivision, Mamalahoa Highway running generally east-west. And on the lower right I've got a more zoomed-in photo of the subject parcel. There is an existing dwelling by the highway of the subject parcel. Again, Mamalahoa Highway is here, and the dwelling currently takes access on the west side of the property. The flagpole area that is being proposed is here. Based on comments from the Department of Public Works, they, which Mamalahoa Highway in this area is a DPW-maintained road, they will not allow two accesses off of the Mamalahoa Highway there, so they are requiring a single access for both lots, and we'll get into that a little bit later on. Here is the applicant's site plan. On the left hand side is Mamalahoa Highway. Again, this is the subject parcel here, with the existing dwelling closest to the highway, and then the flagpole being proposed here with the upper lot being 5.94 acres and the lower lot being approximately five acres. These lines here are indications of flood zone areas. So this area around the southern portion, or covering most of the lower lot, is the AO flood zone, and that will have some bearing later on in the discussion. And the lower right is just a zoom-in of the intersection, again, with the highway, showing the existing dwelling. They've proposed an intersection to the highway, as well as the 2 DRAFT
