direction of Waimea, and the bottom portion of the map is heading in the direction of Kealakekua. Other important places in the area include the Kona International Airport located just makai of the subject property. The current applicants purchased the property in 2016 and have been diligently working towards complying with the conditions of the change of zone ordinance and pending subdivision. The applicants were made aware that they were out of compliance with time conditions of approval. To rectify this oversight the applicants are requesting a five-year time extension to come in and complete the conditions of the ordinance. Reasons for the request: Ordinance 04-149 went into effect on December 8, 2004. At the time of the ordinance the previous landowner Lilian Mahi proposed to subdivide the subject parcel into three lots, with at least 20,000 square feet in size. Condition C of the ordinance allowed for the applicant five years to secure final subdivision approval. Despite initiating the subdivision process in 2005, Ms. Mahi was unable to complete the requirements of the tentative subdivision approval by the time she had passed away in 2008. The applicant had been diligent in receiving eight time extensions through their subdivision time approval, with the most recent being March 30, 2015. Ms. Mahi's children were unable to complete the project and subsequently sold the property to the new applicants Ernest and Elizabeth Young. During the process of working to comply with the conditions of the rezone, Ernest and Elizabeth Young were made aware that they were out of compliance with condition C of the chance of zone ordinance. And to rectify the oversight the applicants are requesting a five-year time extension to secure the final subdivision approval.
