Description of the proposed development... Applicant Brian Clark Living Trust intends to perform a four-lot subdivision of TMK 2-7-004-118- 0000 at Papaikou, South Hilo, Hawaii Island. The parcel is approximately 16.9393 acres in size and has mixed zoning with approximately 11.4363 acres in County Zone Ag-3a and the balance 5.5030 acres in County Zone Ag-20a. The Lots will range from 3.053 acres to approximately 7.236. No grading,grubbing, leveling, or soil movement of the premises is planned, the subdivision action under this SMA Assessment being benign to land movement and only entails surveyed lot line boundaries and description of easements for access and utility purposes to the four proposed Lots. Groundwork grading and grubbing being deferred until the future Lot(s) are developed. These future developments for construction of a structure or excavation of sub- surface utilities are expected to fall under a separate SMA Major application at the time those actions are contemplated. At this time,Trustee Brian Clark, intends to keep Lots 1 and 2 in possession and may consider selling Lots 3 and 4 in the future. 2. Statement of Objectives of the proposed project... The Project is to utilize the existing zoning of the parcel to perform a four-lot subdivision on the 16.9393 parcel by way of Rule 9 exemption to Planning Commission rules and practices to perform the subdivision as an SMA-Minor or exempt action. The cost of the subdivision survey and easement creation is not expected to exceed $100,000, well under the $500,000 trigger for a SMA-Major action.
