Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Application (REZ 94-2) Applicant: Dorothy Souza Request: A-Sa to A-2a Tax Man Kev: 4-5-3:24 and 124 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on January 16, 1997, voted [o recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to change the district classification for approximately 13.67± acres of land from Agricultural (A-Sa) to Agricultural (A-2a). The property is located on the mauka side (southeast corner) of the Mamalahoa Highway at its intersection with Loke Street at Kaao Homesteads, Honokaa, Hamakua, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the change of zone: In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve quality growth determined by the General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on other similar areas in the County. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 The proposed Change of Zone from an Agricultural (A-5a) to Agricultural (A-2a) zoned district would conform to the following goals, policies and standards of the Land Use and Agriculture Elements of the General Plan: * Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical environments of the County. * Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. * Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with [he existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. * Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small-scale rural communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be encouraged in appropriate locations. * The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. * Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and public need. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationships among [he various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non-urban land use pattern for areas within the County. The proposed Change of Zone request conforms to the LUPAG Map, which designates the area for Low Density Urban Development. Such a designation may allow for single family residential in character, ancillary community and public uses and convenience type commercial uses. The requested Agricultural (A-2a) designation would allow the applicant to transfer ownership of each parcel to her five children. The project area may be utilized for residential, agricultural and related uses in a manner which would not be contrary to the uses permitted within an area designated for Low Density Urban. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 The project area is situated within the State Land Use Rural District. In April 1993, the State Land Use District for the project area was amended from Urban to Rural. The applicant requested the land use change in order to dedicate the project area for agricultural uses. The applicant is requesting for an A-2a zone designation in order to transfer ownership of each parcel to her five children. However, each agricultural lot would still provide for any potential to establish residential and/or agricultural opportunities which is consistent with [he requirements of Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, otherwise known as the State Land Use Law. The Land Study Bureau's Overall Master Productivity Rating of the project area is "C" or Fair productivity potential for most agricultural uses. The Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) Map system classifies the project area as "Prime Agricultural Land." The land is currently utilized for cattle pasture and macadamia nut productivity. As previously stated, the applicant intends to develop the project area into a total of five (5) agricultural lots having a minimum lot size of 2 acres. Such development would allow the applicant to convey the individual lots to her children for residential and/or agricultural purposes. The Northeast Hawaii Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted in June, 1979 (Ordinance No. 445), reflects the area as outside of the CDP study boundaries. The project site is located approximately one-half mile to the southwest of Honokaa Town. Primary access will be from the Hawaii Belt Road and onto Loke Street (Apua Road), which has a 30-foot right-of-way with 10-foot wide pavement, approximately 120 linear feet from the Hawaii Belt Road. According to the Department of Public Works, Loke Street is an abandoned State homestead road which the County does not own nor maintain. In addition, said agency recommends that the roadway be improved for any proposed additional accesses onto Loke Street. All roadway improvements to the project area will be constructed in accordance with the Department of Public Works. Roadway improvements at the intersection of the Hawaii Belt Road and Loke Street would be constructed, if applicable, in accordance with the State Department of Transportation. According to the Department of Water Supply, water can be made available to only the existing three lots of record. There is no municipal sewer system in the area. Therefore, wastewater generated by [he proposed subdivision is proposed to be handled by means of individual cesspools or septic tanks meeting with the Department of Health. Solid waste generated by the development would be collected and disposed in compliance with applicable Federal, State and County rules and regulations. All other essential utilities or services are or will be made available to the project site. Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 The project site has no severe topographic or geologic problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable for the proposed agricultural use. The project area had been extensively altered from the previous sugarcane cultivation and the present uses are cattle pasture and macadamia nut productivity. Therefore, significant archaeological sites are not anticipated to be located within the project area. Similarly, the project area is not considered a habitat for rare or endangered species of plants or animals. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-17, the Haina-Honokaa-Kukuihaele Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the staff background for your information. Sincerely, Kevin M.

Souza, the landowner of the property. LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP The property is approximately 13 acres, located at Kaao Homesteads, Hamakua District TMK: 4-5-03-24~~2./{. The above subject parcel, consisting of 13.656 acres, is in fact, three separate lots of record. Lot 1, consisting of 18,068 square feet, received final subdivision approval from the County of Hawaii on January 3, 1962. The remaining Lot 2, is divided by an abandoned ditch right- of-way being in separate ownership at one time. Therefore, Lot 2 is divided into Lots 2A and 2B. This corner site is located on the mauka side of the Hawaii Belt Road between Kahaupu Gulch on the south side and Loke Street "Apua Road" on the north side. The applicant owns the property in fee simple and wishes to continue leasing the land to her son Clifford D. Souza for cattle grazing and mac nut production. PROPOSED USE Due to the advance age of the applicant she wishes to change the zoning so she can subdivide the land. She can then tranfer ownership to each of her five children. The land will continue to be leased to her son for agriculture use. ROADS AND TRAFFIC The primary vehicular access to the property will be from the Belt Highway on the existing paved road. Traffic into and out will not increase due to no change in use of the property. POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION The area is provided police protection services by the Honokaa Police Station. The Honokaa Fire and Rescue Station provides emergency services for the Honokaa community. 1 WATER The property is supplied by the county water system. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES South side is used for sugarcane production. Wes t., side is used for sugarcane production. North side is used for commercial and recreational. East side is used for residential. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING The applicable land use designations for the property are as follows: State Land Use District: Rural Zoning: SA General Plan: Low Density/Alternate Urban REASON FOR ZONE CHANGE Due to the high cost of land in Hawaii and the advanced age of applicant, she wishes to obtain anZ A zoning so the land can be divided into 5 lots. This will enable applicant to give her five children, 5 separate lots. Previous to this year the LUC designated the property as urban. The applicant until this year has paid high taxes based on the urban classification without the benifit of dividing the land because of the SA zoning. This year a request was made and granted from the LUC to change the classification to rural. Presently there is 3 separate lots and the zoning change will enable the applicant to create 2 more lots. The proposed use will not change the essential character of the land and the present use. The caneland to the south will become fallow after Hamakua Sugar shuts down next year. These lands are zoned for alternate urban. The proposed zoning change will be in keeping with the General Plan which is low density. 2 FLORA/FAUNA The land was previously cleared for mac nuts and sugarcane. The existing vegetation is mac nuts, pasture grasses, and weeds. There are no endangered plant or animal species.

The property is located on the mauka side of the Mamalahoa Highway (Hawaii Belt Road) at its intersection with Loke Street, Kaao Homesteads, Honokaa, Hamakua, Hawaii. The denial recommendation was based on the following findings: In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable goals, policies and standards of the General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions can be made to better time or stage developments to achieve quality growth. The implications of these evaluations and decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on other similar areas in the County.

Schutte, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 o Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. o Zone urban- and rural-types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. o Zoning request shall be reviewed with"respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access, and public need. o The county shall encourage the maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. Approval of this request would also be in conflict with a policy of the Agricultural Element of the General Plan which recommends that "Rural-style residential-agricultural developments, such as new small-scale rural communities or extensions of existing rural communities, shall be encouraged in appropriate locations." It has been a long-established policy of the Planning Commission and the Planning Department that areas to be considered for rezoning have basic improvements and amenities necessary for immediate use. A most important amenity is the availability of a County-approved potable water supply to support the proposed use. The entire project site is currently serviced by a single water meter which is limited to 600 gallons per day. The Department of Water Supply has informed the Applicant and the Planning Department that the County's existing water system cannot support the proposed subdivision development at this time. Extensive improvements and additions to the County's existing water system are necessary before additional water commitments can be made available to the project site. Improvements and additions to source, storage, transmission, booster pump, and distribution facilities are required. The construction of a private water source is not being contemplated by tha Applicant. A favorable recommendation of the change of zone request could lead to the creation of up to 13 one-acre lots. Each of these lots could accommodate a single family dwelling and Ohana dwelling, if approved by the Planning Department. Imagine the severe limitations of having 13 to 26 single family residences Honorable Spencer K. Schutte, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 hooked-up to a single water meter which is limited to 600 gallons per day. A favorable recommendation of the request would place an extreme burden on the County to provide the necessary water system improvements in a timely manner. An additional concern regarding infrastructural deficiencies within the affected area is the substandard nature of Loke Street (Apua Road), which maintains a pavement width of approximately 10 feet within a 30-foot right-of-way. The existing pavement width of Loke Street would permit one-way traffic only. Chapter 23 of the Hawaii County Code (Subdivision Code) requires that roadways servicing an agricultural subdivision maintain a pavement width of 20 feet within a 50-foot right-of-way. Clearly, Loke Street would not be able to accommodate the traffic to be generated by the proposed development should this change of zone be approved and which may result in a hazardous situation as vehicles using Loke Street attempt to jockey for position along this narrow roadway. As required by the County Council, transmitted is a draft ordinance amending Section 25-98, the Haina-Honokaa-Kukuihaele Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rodney Nakano or Daryn Arai of the Planning Department at 961-8288. Sincerely, Donald L.

ORIGINAL Dorothy Souza COPIES Clifford Souza FILE COp~' 1(1i`~4 Exhibit C (See Instructions in Back) DO NOT APPLICANT The applicant is Dorothy V. Souza, the landowner of the property. LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP The property is approximately 13 acres, located at Kaao Homesteads, Hamakua District TMK: 4-5-03-24 ~1~4, The above subject parcel, consisting of 13.656 acres, is in fact, three separate lots of record. Lot 1, consisting of 18,068 square feet, received final subdivision approval from the County of Hawaii on January 3, 1962. The remaining Lot 2, is divided by an abandoned ditch right- of-way being in separate ownership at one time. Therefore, Lot 2 is divided into Lots 2A and 2B. This corner site is located on the mauka side of the Hawaii Belt Road between Kahaupu Gulch on the south side and Loke Street "Apua Road" on the north side. The applicant owns the property in fee simple and wishes to continue leasing the land to her son Clifford D. Souza for cattle grazing and mac nut production. PROPOSED USE Due to the advance age of the applicant she wishes to change the zoning so she can subdivide the land. She can then tranfer ownership to each of her five children. The land will continue to be leased to her son for agriculture use. ROADS AND TRAFFIC The primary vehicular access to the property will be from the Belt Highway on the existing paved road. Traffic into and out will not increase due to no change in use of the property. POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION The area is provided police protection services by the Honokaa Police Station. The Honokaa Fire and Rescue Station provides emergency services for the Honokaa community. 1 WATER The property is supplied by the county water system. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES South side is used for sugarcane production. West side is used for sugarcane production. North side is used for commercial and recreational. East side is used for residential. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING The applicable land use designations for the property are as follows: State Land Use District: Rural Zoning: SA General Plan: Low Density/Alternate Urban REASON FOR ZONE CHANGE Due to the high cost of land in Hawaii and the advanced age of applicant, she wishes to obtain ant A zoning so the land can be divided into 5 lots. This will enable applicant to give her five children, 5 separate lots. Previous to this year the LUC designated the property as urban. The applicant until this year has paid high taxes based on the urban classification without the benifit of dividing the land because of the SA zoning. This year a request was made and granted from the LUC to change the classification to rural. Presently there is 3 separate lots and the zoning change will enable the applicant to create 2 more lots. The proposed use will not change the essential character of the land and the present use. The caneland to the south will become fallow after Hamakua Sugar shuts down next year. These lands are zoned for alternate urban. The proposed zoning change will be in keeping with the General Plan which is low density. 2 FLORA/FAUNA The land was previously cleared for mac nuts and sugarcane. The existing vegetation is mac nuts, pasture grasses, and weeds. There are no endangered plant or animal species.
