(Area: 26.762 Acres) <br /> The Windward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for this change of zone <br /> request, which would allow the applicant to subdivide the property into 23 lots. The property is <br /> located at 16-790 Kea'au-Pahoa Road. <br /> Deputy Planning Director Jeff Darrow, Consultant Daryn Arai, and Graphic Images Hawai`i, Inc. <br /> Representative Laurie Higashi were in attendance. Mr. Arai gave an overview of the project which is <br /> a 23 lot subdivision outside of the Kea'au Town Village Center. <br /> This bill was amended with the contents of Communication No. 1110.2, as requested by Planning <br /> Director Zendo Kern and introduced by Mr. Inaba. The amendment reflected the newest fair share <br /> rates based on changes to the Honolulu Consumer Price Index, which were updated between the time <br /> that the background and recommendation reports were distributed to the Commission and the time <br /> they heard the application and made their recommendation to the County Council. <br /> Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions is in accord with the purpose and intent <br /> of Bill No. 219, as amended to Draft 2, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> wpb <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> EVANS X <br /> GALIMBA x COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE <br /> INABA X APPROVALS AND ACQUISITIONS <br /> KAGIWADA X C/'7 <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X HOLEKA GORO INABA, CHAIR <br /> KIMBALL X <br /> LEE LOY LAAC REPORT NO.: 71 <br /> VILLEGAS X ADOPTED: NOV 2 0 2024 <br />
