and South Kona, Hawaii, TMK: 7-9-12:4, 6, 9, 29; 8-1-4:3, 56, 59-62, 64, 70; 8-1-26:1-3, 5-9, 11-57; 8-1-27:1-15, 17-26; 33-38, 43; 8-1-28:1-3, 7-18, 28-38, 40-43; 8-1-29:1, 2, 4, 6-46, 53-59, 62, 63; 8-1-30:1-9, 49, 51 (formerly 7-9-6: por. 1, 7-9-12: pors.3 & 4, and 8-1-4: por. 3). WATANABE: The first item on our agenda, and by the way I think these Item Nos. 1 and 2 are so interrelated I believe we would be best to take those two together. Item No. 1 is initiated by the Planning Director in its amendment to Ordinance No. 96-7 by amending the portion of Condition M.4 relating to the construction of a barricade or breakaway gate to prevent the use of Halekii Street as a vehicular thoroughfare prior to the opening of the entire Mamalahoa Bypass. Item No. 2 is also initiated by the Planning Director (REZ 765)Amendment to Ordinance No. 96-8 by amending the portion of Condition L.4 relating to the construction of a barricade or breakaway gate to prevent the use of Halekii Street for similar purposes. With that I’d like to turn it over to Mr. Hayashi. HAYASHI: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Before I turn the mike over to the Planning Director, I’ll just give a brief orientation as to the location of the area. After the Planning Director makes his presentation then the Department of Public Works will be making a short presentation. Then we’ll call upon a representative from Oceanside 1250, Mr. John DeFries, to make a statement or two. With that, I’ll just refer to the map on the board. This is the overall location map. The Hokulia property is in this general configuration and is situated within the North and South Kona districts. As a matter of orientation, this is the Keauhou area and this particular area is the mauka Mamalahoa Highway. The Mamalahoa Bypass Highway is in this general configuration. And this section has already been constructed by Oceanside 1250 up until Halekii Street. This is Halekii Street running in a mauka-makai direction, orientation. And the extension of the Bypass Road would be in this general configuration which would hook up to the Napoopoo junction or in that general vicinity. Just as a matter of information, this particular property is the Coupe property that all of you have heard about. This is a map that was provided to us by the Department of Public Works and this is the, excuse me, this is the first time we’re doing this so -. This is the Bypass Road that has been constructed. This area would be the makai area. Unfortunately the orientation of the map is different from what we normally do. And this is the mauka area of the Halekii extension that goes up to the Kona Scenic Subdivision; and this is the road that leads toward the existing development of Hokulia. With that I’d like to turn over the mike to the Planning Director to explain the proposed changes to the ordinance. YUEN: We are here to consider the amendment of two conditions of two rezoning ordinances that cover what is now called the Hokulia project. When this happened originally in 1996 it was, the developer was known typically by the developer’s name, Oceanside 1250. These are conditions of rezoning ordinances. As the Planning Commission is familiar, your role is to give a recommendation to the County Council on this. The County Council has the final say whether or not to change the terms of these rezoning ordinances. The conditions, the change to these conditions are being formally initiated by the Planning Director. It is a joint effort of the County administration, including the Department of Public Works. And what I will do is talk a little bit about the background of the rezoning ordinances and the conditions that we’re talking about here. And then the Department of Public Works will give a presentation really more on the operational aspects of the roads, if the condition has changed, and how they intend to deal EXHIBIT A 2
