LAND'. �y <br />PLANNING ik <br />HAWAII LLC <br />January 16, 2023 <br />Jeffrey Darrow, Deputy Director <br />Planning Department <br />COUNTY OF HAWAII <br />101 Pauahi Street <br />Hilo, HI 96720 <br />Dear Mr. Darrow: <br />194 Wiwoole St. Hilo, HI 96720 <br />(808) 333-3393 <br />info@landplanninghawaii.com <br />Subject: Change of Zone Request (PL-REZ-2022-000035) A -20a to A-l0a <br />Applicant: Charles Edgar Stevenson, Ann Alberta Stevenson, and John Patrick <br />Fumo <br />North Kona, Hawaii TMK (3) 7-3-027: 003 <br />We are in receipt of the Background and Recommendation Reports on the subject application. We <br />have reviewed the proposed conditions and appreciate the work that has gone into crafting them. <br />Condition D (3.) would require a 100 -foot -wide structural setback in lieu of the required 30 -foot <br />setback along the property's frontage, however the applicant's home is currently sited approximately <br />85 -feet from the property boundary along Haleamau Street. In order to clarify that the applicants are <br />not required to move their home based on the proposed condition we would respectfully request the <br />following revision: <br />3. For new structures proposed after the effective date of this Ordinance, a 100 -foot -wide structural <br />setback in lieu of the required 30 -foot setback along the existing property's public street frontage to <br />provide an additional buffer. <br />Condition K would require a fair share contribution for the proposed one additional lot made possible <br />by the requested Change of Zone based on "potential road impacts" from additional dwellings <br />permitted by the Change of Zone. Condition K further states "Based upon the Applicant's <br />representation of intent to subdivide and develop up to one additional lot, the fair share contribution is <br />$15,636.59." While it is true the Applicants intend to subdivide one additional lot, there is no proposed <br />development on either lot. Since Condition F prohibits the construction of additional dwellings on <br />either of the resulting lots from the proposed subdivision and each of the lots already hosts a dwelling, <br />no new dwellings are made possible by the Change of Zone and since both of the existing dwellings <br />have been in place since their construction in 1986, there are no additional public impacts due to the <br />proposed subdivision. We would respectfully request the deletion of proposed condition K. <br />If there are any other questions, please feel free to direct them to me. Thank you very much. <br />Sincerely, <br />JOHN PIPAN <br />Planning Administrator <br />
