Home

LIN: Please speak directly into your microphones. State your name and the area you reside and whom you represent. I'll also have to ask if you have received the Planning Department's Background and Recommendation reports, and do you agree with the recommendations including the proposed conditions? KANESHIRO: Yeah, I'm Tyler Kaneshiro. I'm here on behalf of my mother, Sandra, and I reside here in Hilo. ARAI: Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. My name is Daryn Arai. I reside in Hilo and I'm here assisting the applicant Sandra Kaneshiro this morning who's capably represented by her son, Tyler. I have discussed the background report and the recommendation and proposed conditions with the applicant, both Tyler and Sandra, and they both accept the proposed conditions as presented. We appreciate the hard work of the Planning Department's staff and preparing the report. We appreciate the Director's favorable recommendation, and we also appreciate the very thorough presentation that was presented to you this morning. The request is quite simple. It's, you know, the property itself was once or is the Kaneshiro family compound but as many families encounter life changes occur. So, they are at that point in life now where they wish to look toward the future and try to manage the property as best as they can. Which in this case includes placing each existing home on its own separate lot. The Commissioners may be well aware that with a lot size of over 3 acres and the requested zoning of FA-Ia that there's the possibility of a third lot that could be created within on this property. However, let it be known to that with the you saw the site plan during the presentation. The sighting of the 2 existing homes and accessory structures will make it somewhat difficult in order to create that third lot due to the need to provide adequacy of access to the lot in the back. Which is currently just a large grassy area but, should that opportunity to create that third lot occur in the future the applicant will be obligated and compelled to comply with all of the requirements of this subdivision code. So, whether 2 lots or 3 lots the subdivision will be completed in a compliant manner. So, with that I stand ready to, or we stand ready to answer any questions that you may have. LIN: Thank you Mr. Arai. Any questions Commissioners? Mr. Kaneshiro, did you have anything to mention. KANESHIRO: Nothing Chair. DE LUZ: A quick question, Chair because they're going — LIN: Go ahead. DE LUZ: —to a 1-acre FA and is that the only designation they can go with? Is that, to get it down to that smaller parcel? DARROW: They could change the State Land Use to Urban and go into a residential zoning. It sounds like they are okay with the I-acre zoning. They probably want to keep 3 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
