lighter green shaded area. And theres some, towards, in the Hamakua direction. Initially the applicant had submitted an application for an agricultural20-acre to a FA or family- agricultural 4-acre zone district. However, the applicant has since revised his application and, under that proposal there were 10 lots proposed. However the applicant decided to amend his application to come for agricultural 5-acre zone district and that would lessen the number of lots from 10 as originally proposed to 8 lots. The lots if youll note on the applicants overall subdivision plan or proposed subdivision plan, the subject property is indicated by this red outlined area. There will be 8 lots as I indicated. Two of the lots will gain access from Mamalahoa Highway and that will be these 2 lots. There would be 6 lots taking access off the Hoonani Subdivision roadways. Three lots will be taking off of Uhiwai Street and those will be these 3 lots here. Three lots will be, gain access from Hauhoa Street within the Hoonani Subdivision, those would be these 3 lots here. So basically, 6 lots will be getting access from the subdivision roads within the-, I mean the roadways within the Hoonani Subdivision. The purpose of the rezoning request is, according to the applicant is to provide smaller agricultural lotsfortheirfamilymembersandpossiblyforotherindividuals.Thewaterisavailabletothe property. Sewer would be by individual wastewater treatment system and the overall cost of developing is estimated at $200,000. There are 2 existing dwellings on the property, one at the front portion of the property and one to the rear. The remainder of the property is normally used for cattle grazing. And usually the applicant graze between 15 to 24 heads of cattle at a time. As I indicated earlier there is the non-conforming Hoonani Subdivision to the east of the subject property and these lots are basically 10,000 square foot in size. We received 2 letters of concern regarding this particular application. The first letter of concern was from Linda Frias who is an adjacent property owner. Ms. Frias property is indicated by this red dot situated again to the east of the subject property. Her concerns basically are first of all the water runoff; also the view of Mauna Kea may be obstructed by electrical poles. She also has concerns as to how the waterlines will enter the property and why access cant be from Highway 19 rather than the Hoonani Subdivision Roads. We also received a letter from Peter Amerling requesting that the application be denied until such time that the Waimea Bypass Road is completed. And all of you have a copy of these letters. We are recommending approval of the subject request with conditions. One of the conditions would be that as far as the access to-from the Mamalahoa Highway that would be limited to one common access for the 2 lots proposed along the highway. And that would be to lessen the number of driveways rather than 2, just to have one common driveway access. We are also requiring that-, recommending a 15-foot road right-of-way be set aside along Mamalahoa Highway or Highway for future road-widening purposes. So basically, we are recommending approval with proposed conditions. Are there any questions? ALAMEDA:Chair? SPRINGER:Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA:Thanks Madam Chair. Norman could you just trace for me how the other lots, I see how those 2 front lots would get access to Mamalahoa Highway but how would the-? Could you just kind of trace for me like how would they, say the back lots would come out of their driveway and then how would they get access to the highway? EXHIBIT F 2
