Home

MERCADO: Aw, sorry Tracie. Thank you. Okay, so the subject property is located in the South Hilo District west of Railroad Avenue off of Makalika Street. The applicant's request is a Change of Zone from Agricultural-3 acres to a Family Agricultural-I acre for 3.16 acres of land. The property currently consists of two existing single-family dwellings. One of which is an approved `Ohana dwelling and several related accessory structures. No additional improvements to the subject property are currently being proposed by the applicant. The reason for the request is to subdivide the property into 2 lots, at a minimum of 1.4 acres each to establish a fee-simple ownership of the resulting lots. Here we have the County zoning map. The subject properties is outlined in blue. The majority of the property around is Agricultural. To the left of the subject property is a similar zone that the applicant, excuse me, the applicant is requesting which is the Family-Agricultural in the lighter teal. Here is the State Land Use Boundary Map. The subject property is designated as Agricultural and most of its surrounding across the street, across Makalika Street is Urban designation. Here is the General Plan Land Use Allocation Guide Map showing the subject property and its neighboring properties as Low Density Urban and across Railroad Avenue to the east is Important Agricultural Lands. Here's a site plan provided by the applicant showing the proposed divided lot line. So, we have Makalika Street on the right with the shared driveway, the existing single-family dwelling towards the back of the property is the `Ohana dwelling and further back is the open grassy area and in the middle is its existing accessory structures. Next is the aerial photograph of the subject property outlined in blue. Showing Railroad Avenue to the right of the screen and Makalika Street to the bottom and its improvements. The neighboring property is mixed of single-family dwellings, agricultural uses, and some vacant land. Here are a couple shots of Makalika Street. The top left facing east with the subject property driveway on the left as indicated. The bottom right is an opposite view facing west with the subject property on the right and with the dwelling of the subject property right here. Our final slide is the Planning Director's recommendation which is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council. At this time, I'm here to answer any questions you may have, Chair Lin. LIN: Thank you Clinton. MERCADO: Thank you. LIN: Any questions for staff, Commissioners? Okay, seeing none. I will now ask for the applicant and the applicant's representative to please come forward. [Two males from the audience approached the testifier table]I'll swear both of you at the same time. Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Windward Planning Commission? MALES AT TESTIFIER TABLE: I do. I do. 2 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
