I. INTRODUCTION Charles Stevenson, Ann Stevenson and John Fumo ("applicants") are requesting the rezoning of a 22.665-acre parcel of land in Kailua-Kona from Agricultural (A-20a) to Agricultural (A-10a). The property is located at 73-4375 Haleamau Street, approximately 600 feet northeast of its intersection with Kaloko Drive and approximately 2.3 miles east of Mamalahoa Highway in the Kaloko-Mauka area of Kailua-Kona on the Island of Hawaii (Figure 1). If approved, the applicants intend to subdivide the 22.665-acre parcel into two (2) lots, each consisting of a minimum of 10-acres each(Figure 2). The applicants wish to create the two-lot subdivision so that fee-simple ownership of the property may be distributed between Mr. & Mrs. Stevenson and Mr. Fumo. II.

The agreement includes a provision for all parties to cooperate in an application to subdivide the property and distribute ownership. However, prior to subdividing the property, a change of zone to A-l0a will first need to be obtained. Thus, if the rezoning request is approved, the applicants intend to subdivide the property in accordance with their co-tenancy agreement so that Mr. & Mrs. Stevenson become the owners of proposed Lot 6-A and Mr. Fumo becomes the sole owner of proposed Lot 6-B.
