a. Statement of Objectives and Reasons for the Request As stated, Applicants propose to rezone the Property from Agricultural District, required minimum building site of three acres ("A-3a") to Single-Family Residential District, required minimum building site of 15,000 square feet ("RS-15"). See Change of Zone Map, attached hereto as Exhibit "C". The COZ to RS-15 will allow Applicants to subsequently subdivide the property into five RS-15 lots. One lot, currently improved, will be owned by Matthew Wung, another lot will be used to build a home for Eric Wung, and the remaining lots will be owned by the Applicants as part of their plan of distribution. Lands which surround the Property also continue to be owned by Wung family members in their respective trusts. This plan is in conformity with the Low Density Urban classification under the General Plan's Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG). b. Number of Acres/Square Feet The Property is approximately 136,277 square feet, or 3.1285 acres, in land area. C. Proposed Units/Lots/Floor Area of Proposed Building Envelope If this COZ request is approved, Applicants plan to subdivide the Property from one existing lot into five lots ranging from 20,080 square feet to 45,363 square feet. d. Timeframe and Cost. It is estimated that the COZ process will take approximately six months and that the subsequent subdivision process will take the same period of time. The cost of the COZ and subdivision processes will include consultant and attorneys' fees and costs, filing and application fees, surveyor's expenses for preparation of maps and plans, installation of water laterals and meters and other incidental costs. e. Membership Size/Number of Employees and Clientele Membership size is not applicable to the current request. f. Parking Arrangement. The Property already permits ample parking for its owners and guests. It is not expected that street parking will be required as a result of the subdivision, and there will be sufficient area on each lot to accommodate off street parking needs for each lot. The subject request is not expected to change or materially affect street parking in the vicinity. g. Traffic Impacts Assessment of Existing Traffic Conditions The Property is directly accessed from the south or Puna side of W. Kawailani Street, and is adjacent to the west side of a stub out portion of Kumuwaina Street, both of which are paved County roads, by which the Property may be accessed.
