Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 157, reports as follows:
Bill No. 157, transmitted by Mayor Mitchell D. Roth via Communication 742, dated April 1,
2022, repeals Ordinance No. 04-120, which amended Section 25-8-28 (Ka`u District Zone Map),
Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, by changing the district
classification from Agriculture-20 acres (A-20a)to Agricultural Project District(APD) at Palima
and P5'au`au, Ka`u, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Keys: 9-6-005:018 and 9-6-006:004.
Planning Director initiated and introduced by Chair Ashley Kierkiewicz, by request.
Committee Member Heather Kimball was Acting Committee Chair due to Committee Chair
Ashley Kierkiewicz, Vice Chair Rebecca Villegas, and Finance Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder
being absent.
Planning Director Zendo Kern was present via Zoom and explained that the applicant would like
to revert the zoning to its original classification due to Conditions not being met and the project
remaining in limbo.
Mr. Greg Pile, applicant, was present via Zoom and explained that the original Trustee had
passed away in 2020; he is the successor Trustee of the Ellis Jacob Hester Trust and must
consolidate the two parcels and subdivide them at the direction of the Trust.
Your Committee had no questions or remarks.
The vote was then taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a favorable
recommendation and passed with six "ayes,"with Committee Chair Kierkiewicz, Committee
Members Villegas and Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder absent.
