Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 32, reports as follows:
Bill No. 32,transmitted by Mayor Mitchell D. Roth via Comm.No. 218 dated April 14, 2021,
amends Ordinance No. 04-149 which reclassified lands from Agricultural— 5 acres (A-5a)to
Single Family Residential—20,000 square feet (RS-20) at Kalaoa 1St and 2nd,North Kona,
Hawai`i, covered by Tax Map Key 7-3-011:068. The applicants are Ernest and Elizabeth Young,
and the area is 1.8628 acres.
The Leeward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation to approve this
amendment which will allow a five-year time extension to Condition C (Time to Secure Final
Subdivision Approval) and amend Condition L (Fair Share Contributions).
Mr. and Mrs. Young appeared via Zoom to express that this is merely a time extension to finish
the subdivision begun by the previous landowners. Planning Director Zendo Kern and Deputy
Director Jeff Darrow were present in the Kona Council Chambers to provide further information.
Committee Member Holeka Inaba asked if the word"shall" should be included in Section K
pertaining to historic sites and architectural clearance. After deliberation, Director Kern
responded that it can be added to read better. Mr. Inaba agreed to prepare the proposed
amendment for first reading. Mr. Inaba went on to ask about the removal of an access road in
Section D. Mr. Kern responded that the State Department of Transportation requested that they
remove that access and that they typically take up the State's request.
The vote was then taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a favorable
recommendation and passed with nine"ayes."
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 32, and
recommends its passage on first reading.
