C!' <br /> 2 <br /> / <br /> O <br /> O � <br /> o Planned Unit Development(PUD): PUD is not an appropriate tool because it is <br /> v limited by State Land Use law, which dictates that the density is no less than one <br /> 00 (1) residence per one (1) acre. The PUD essentially supports more sprawl. <br /> o Additional Farm Dwelling Unit: The current ordinance is vague around whether or <br /> o • not the labor that justifies the additional farm dwelling needs to come from that <br /> o . <br /> o same parcel or if the labor can be tied to a nearby farm on a separate parcel. <br /> o Additionally,there is no clear definition of employee housing, which is further <br /> REN <br /> complicated by the fact that KS would likely not be the employer of farm workers. <br /> ow— A KS lessee would employ the farm workers. Finally,the additional farm dwelling <br /> unit does not support a clustered model of multiple housing units. <br /> o Agricultural Farm Lot Subdivisions: Residential use is strictly prohibited on <br /> Agricultural Farm Lot Subdivisions. <br /> Based on the above information, it is clear that there are no existing tools that would allow KS, or <br /> any other landowner, the ability to provide clustered, affordable, farm-worker housing, which <br /> enables larger landscapes to be preserved. <br /> In conclusion, we ask that you consider our intentions, our track record in Hilo and Hamakua, <br /> and the lack of existing tools to provide agricultural support infrastructure such as affordable <br /> farm-worker housing. Please support our request to either leave the current Low Density Urban <br /> (LDU) Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map designation in place or find another <br /> solution that would allow this type of agricultural support infrastructure to be created at <br /> Pahoehoe. <br /> Should you have any questions I can be reached at 982-0833 or maharman@ksbe.edu. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Atim7.4/,z2 <br /> Marissa Harman, Director <br /> Asset Management—Hawai'i Island <br /> Community Engagement& Resources <br />
