Re: Comm. No.1050/Bill No. 207
Your Committee on Legislative Approvals and Acquisitions, to which was referred Bill No. 207,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 207, transmitted by Mayor Mitchell D. Roth, via Communication No. 1050, dated

changing the District Classification from the Agricultural to the Rural District at Pu`ukapu,
Waimea, South Kohala, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map Key: 6-4-017:001.
The Leeward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for this amendment
to the State Land Use Boundaries Map and for the requested change of zone, which would allow
the applicant to subdivide the property into three lots. This property is located at 64-5208 Alanui
Ohana Place.

for this project. Committee Chair Holeka Inaba and several other Committee Members stated their
concern that the applicant was absent.
