HAYASHI:Thank you, Mr. Chair, members of the Commission. The subject property is indicated in red on this presentation map. It is located along the makai side of Kauhiula Road and also at the corner of Kulana Kea Drive. The H School is located at this particular location where IÓm pointing at. This would be the Hawaii Belt Road leading towards Hamakua, and this would be towards the City of Hilo. The zoning on the map indicates the various zonings. First of all this dark-shaded green area is the Agricultural 20-acre zoned district. The yellow areas would be Single Family Residential at varying densities. We also have an Agricultural 3-acre zoning designation here. The subject property, approximately 12 acres, is currently zoned for Single Family Residential (RS-15). The remaining two acres or so is still within the State Land Use Agricultural District, as well as zoned Agricultural-20 acres. What the Applicant intends to do is to rezone this subject property, and IÓll go to the site map here. First of all, the area that I indicated, still within the State Land Use Agricultural District consisting of 2-plus acres, itÓs 2.8 acres, is being requested to be reclassified from the State Land Use Agricultural District to the Urban District. At the same time, the Applicant is requesting that this particular area, which is also currently zoned Agricultural-20 acres, to be reclassified or rezoned to Residential/Agricultural 2 acres. The remaining of the property, as I indicated earlier, is currently zoned for Single Family Residential - 15,000 square feet; and the Applicant is requesting that this particular area also be rezoned to a Residential/Agricultural 2-acre. Based on the current density of the existing RS-15 zoned district, the Applicant can, in fact, based on the density, subdivide the property into approximately 34-plus lots. What the Applicant intends to do, as part of his rezoning action, is to reduce the density and create 6 lots. We are recommending approval of this zone change, as well as State Land Use boundary amendment. Are there any questions at this time? GALDONES:Commissioners, any questions of Norman? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Norman, IÓm trying to look back a little bit just to understand what went on before when the original rezoning went to the RS-15. In the paperwork I think it said that a 14.69-acre area was reclassified back in 1996. So does that include the 11.9 plus the 2.8 weÓre looking at now or -? HAYASHI:No. And let me explain. If you look at this particular map, this is Kulana Kea Drive; and across of Kulana Kea Drive, across the subject property, thereÓs a sliver of land which is zoned Single Family Residential. Okay? That particular area, that 2
