housing, agricultural cluster subdivisions, and small-scale rezonings of 4 lots or less that <br /> may assist families in allowing their children to obtain individual properties. The CDP <br /> also recommends reducing the General Plan low density urban designated areas in <br /> Waimea town. However,the subject property holds the General Plan LUPAG <br /> designations of Low Density Urban (LDU) and Medium Density Urban (MDU), both of <br /> which allow for a mix of residential and commercial type uses, as is proposed for the <br /> subject project. The establishment of commercial type uses on the subject parcel would <br /> not be expanding the existing commercial center for Waimea town as there are several <br /> existing commercial operations further east beyond the subject site. Additionally,there <br /> are several types of commercial business operating within 500 feet of the subject property <br /> including two restaurants and a gas station. <br /> Finally, the reclassification action would be consistent with the goals, objectives, <br /> and policies of the Hawaii State Plan by providing urban type uses in close proximity to <br /> existing urban areas where adequate public facilities are already available and converting <br /> marginal or non-essential agricultural lands for appropriate urban uses while maintaining <br /> agricultural lands of importance in the agricultural district. <br /> The Urban classification conforms to the standard that the development is <br /> within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic <br /> services such as schools, police and fire protection,transportation systems and <br /> water. Existing access to the subject property is from Ishihara Farm Road, a private <br /> roadway over an approximately fifty (50) foot wide combined easement right-of-way, <br /> consisting of nonexclusive access easements over and across Easements "5" and"6". The <br /> proposed nine (9) lot subdivision will be served by two (2) driveways from Mdmalahoa <br /> Highway that will connect to a circulatory roadway within the property fronting <br /> Mdmalahoa Highway, to service the three (3) commercial properties. The six (6) <br /> residential lots will be accessed via a driveway connection to Ishihara Farm Road <br /> (approximately fifty (50) foot wide combined easement right-of-way, consisting of <br /> nonexclusive access easements over and across Easements "5" and"6"). Water is <br /> available for the number of habitable and commercial lots in the proposed project and <br /> wastewater will be served by Individual Wastewater Systems (IWS) meeting the approval <br /> -3- <br />
