sorry, adjacent to and north of the Kona HeifgsrRtachuhrhnmiTmhsHH-Ghdm`knkh+MnqsgJnm`+ Hawai`i, TMK: 7-5-10:66. Aloha, Jeff. DARROW:Aloha. Thank you, Ms. Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission. If I can direct your attention to the location map, the area we're looking at is in the North Kona area, more specifically the Hienaloli area. The Applicant in this case is Nani Kona Aina, LLC, and as you had mentioned, they are requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban, as well as a Change of Zone from Agricultural 5- acres to Single Family Residential - 10,000 square feet for approximately 14.533 acres. The area is -, just to get your idea of where we're at, this is Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway running in a northerly-southerly direction. This is Nani Kailua Drive running in a mauka- makai direction. And the red dot signifies the parcel that we're looking at. Just to kind of bring your bearings in the area, other subdivisions in the area, we have the Kona Heights Subdivision identified here in green, and just south of that is the Kailua View Estates, and directly across from the proposed request is the Keaolani Subdivision. The Applicant intends to subdivide, if approved, intends to subdivide the parcel into 43 Single Family Residential RS-10 zoned lots, and that's identified here in blue. The -, I just wanted to bring your attention to several other rezonings in the area that have occurred recently. There was one that occurred this year in March, that was approved for approximately 10 acres, and that was from Agricultural 5-acres to Single Family Residential-20, RS-20, as well as another located near the highway that was for approximately 10 acres and, again, Agricultural-5 acres to RS-20, and these are located directly makai of the parcel that we are looking at for the request today. Another item that I want to bring to your attention is the Hienaloli Drainageway. As you can see, we have -, in pink we have the shaded X area and then in orange, more specifically, we have the Zone AE. A portion of that does appear on this map to go through the parcel in question. We did receive a submittal this morning from the Applicant's representative, and if I could pass this on to you. It's a -, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that's a revised map that -, for this drainageway, and the -. So there -. It appears with the revision that only a small portion of the parcel will be affected by this drainageway. The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation for both the State Land Use Boundary Amendment and the Change of Zone be forwarded to the Hawai`i County Council. Are there any questions? SPRINGER:Commissioners, is there any -? Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:Thank you, Jeff. It seems like one of the issues we are going to be dealing with is the amount of traffic load on that Nani Kailua Drive intersection. I wondered if you had any numbers for how large those other subdivisions are that are using the same road, 2
