BKohaIaSHRLSubREZSMA.doc 12104119 <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> BACKGROUND REPORT <br /> KOHALA SHORELINE LLC <br /> CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 19-000237) <br /> SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA USE PERMIT APPLICATION (SMA 19-000073) <br /> KOHALA SHORELINE LLC has submitted applications for: 1) a Change of Zone from the <br /> Single-Family Residential (RS-15) to the Residential and Agricultural 5-Acres (RA-5a) zoning <br /> district for a 37.88-acre parcel of land; and 2) a Special Management Area(SMA) Use Permit for <br /> a six-lot subdivision for the future development of six (6) home sites. In July 1997, the Hawai'i <br /> County Council approved Ordinance No. 97-102 (REZ 866) which rezoned the entire 37.88-acre <br /> parcel from Agricultural 5-acres (A-5a) to Single-Family Residential 15,000 sq. ft. (RS-15). In <br /> August 1997, the Hawai'i County Planning Commission granted Special Management Area <br /> (SMA) Use Permit No. 379 to allow for the development of a 50-lot subdivision on the subject <br /> parcel. Since that time the property ownership has changed, and the project (as permitted) was <br /> never developed. An attempt by the Hawai'i County Council to amend this application to change <br /> the zoning of the subject parcel to Residential and Agricultural 15-acres (RA-15a) was pursued, <br /> however the bill was vetoed, and as such the current RS-15 zoning designation has remained. <br /> The subject property is located mcakai (seaward) of Akoni Pule Highway (State Route 270) <br /> approximately three (3) miles north of Kawaihae Harbor, North Kohala, Island of Hawai'i on <br /> TMK: (3) 5-9-001:008. <br /> PROPOSED ACTION <br /> 1. Applicant's Proposed Project: The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into six <br /> (6) lots which will vary in size from five (5) to eight (8) acres in preparation for the future <br /> development of six (6) single-family dwelling structures. Road access would be from two <br /> (2) permitted access locations along the highway, with lots provided with internal access <br /> and underground efectricity, telephone, and water service from existing lines along the <br /> highway. The future homes will utilize individual wastewater systems designed pursuant <br /> to State Health Department requirements and would exceed those requirements by <br />
