development which may allow Multiple-Family Residential uses. And the Aburamen property is designated for Industrial, although its proposed to be reclassified or redesignated to Medium Density Urban development under the Planning Directors proposal, which well discuss later this afternoon. The Hilo CDP which was, again, adoptedback in 1975, the CDP designation for this area is Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet. Surrounding land uses include basically residential structures along both sides of Laukapu Street. There is a doctors office that was granted at the corner of Laukapu Street and Lanikaula Street at this particular location. Thats Dr. Lee Chings medical facility. There is also this particular area, diagonally across from Dr. Lee Chings office, which was rezoned to Limited Industrial, and that also houses some Commercial as well as Limited Industrial uses. As I indicated access would be from Laukapu Street which currently has a right-of-way width of 40feetwithan18-to20-footpavementwithgrassshoulders.LaukapuStreetisproposedtobe widened to a 50-foot right-of-way; therefore, that would affect 5 feet along both sides of the property. Water is available and sewer disposal would be to hook up into the Countys sewage treatment system. The Department of Public Works did comment regarding the improvements to the roadway frontage; and basically they indicated that they would like to see drainage improvements as well as curb, gutter, sidewalks and pavement improvement in accordance with their requirements. DPW also stated that runoff shall be disposed of on site and not directed toward adjacent properties. We received several letters that were made part of your packet earlier. And these letters were from Pat Grossman, adjoining property owner; Lloyd and Patricia Nekoba also on an adjoining property on the north side of the Aburamen property; and a letter that was signed by Victoria and Clyde Abe, Miriam Hamakawa, Patricia Toyama, Lillian Oak. These individuals are related to the Saito family; and they own properties adjacent and to the south of the Aburamen property. We also received today letters from Thomas Hirano supporting the request and also written testimony from Patricia Saito-Toyama, a Clyde Abe expressing their concerns regarding the change of zone request. We also received a petition that was handed to me by Lloyd Nekoba, and I believe all of you have a copy. Unfortunately, there were only five copies that were with colored pictures so you may have to share those. The ones we reproduced are black and white. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the request with conditions. Condition D, and Ill highlight some of the conditions. Condition D states that the height limit shall be no more than 35 feet; and this is based on what the current Single-Family Residential zoned district states. The Condition E states there will be a minimum of two parking stalls per unit. Condition I, full improvements to Laukapu Street including but not limited to pavement widening with curbs, gutters and sidewalks; and drainage improvements shall be provided meeting with the approval of Department of Public Works. They also need to hook up to the County sewer system, that is Condition J. Condition L, as recommended by the Department of Public Works relating to drainage, would have to be conformed to. Condition Q we have our standard affordable housing condition. Condition R, that is a standard fair share housing condition that we include for rezonings such as this. 3EXHIBIT C
