regarding the change of zone request by Shizue Kaya, Akira Makinodan,
and Ellen Hamada at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: 2-2-48 : 8,
reports as follows :
Bill No. 161 amends Section 25-114 (City of Hilo Zone Map) ,
Article 3, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, by
changing the district classification for approximately 20 acres of
land from an Agricultural 10-acre (A-10a) to an Agricultural 3-acre
(A-3a) zoned district .
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the
Makalika/Awa Streets intersection in the Panaewa Farm Lots where the
applicants intend to subdivide the property into six lots of
approximately 3 to 4 acres in size which would allow each applicant
to have title to respective portions of the parcel .
An existing single-family dwelling which is set back more than
150 feet from Awa Street, is presently being rented and would remain
on one of the proposed lots . Approximately 13 acres of the subject
property is cultivated with macadamia nut trees which would be kept
with the exception of a house site on each property.
Surrounding properties to the north are zoned A-10a and lands to the
south of Makalika Street are zoned A-3a . The Nani Mau Gardens exists
across from the subject property on the northeast corner of the
Makalika/Awa Streets intersection.
Water will be supplied by the Department of Water Supply from an
existing 12-inch waterline along Makalika Street.
The applicants are aware of the Department of Health' s requirements
that minimum spacing between a potable water well and an individual
treatment system must be 1, 000 feet and propose to install an
alternate waste disposal method, in compliance with County and State
rules and regulations for any future proposed residences .
