Takata Store, approximately 800 feet west of its intersection with Kynnersley Road The vacant subject property, which will be subdivided into 6 single family residential lots ranging from approximately 15,000 to 20,000 square feet in size, is a portion of a 22.421 acre pazcel. This zoning would be consistent with the existing RS-15 zoning in the area Access to the proposed lots would be via the 50-foot wide easement with no direct access onto Akom Pule Highway. The remaining 20 acres would be consistent with the A-20a zoning and would continue to be used for cattle grazing and/or other agncultural uses. The applicant intends to place restnctive covenants into the deeds of the proposed lots to prohibit the construction of second dwellings. The property was previously used for sugar cane cultivation and is presently used intermittently for cattle grazing The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designates the azea for Low Density Urban Development, which allows single family residential homes, ancillary community and public uses, and convenience type commercial uses. The North Kohala Community Development Plan (CDP), adopted as Resolution No. 2-84 by the Planning Commission in September 1984, further defines the General Plan and serves as a guide for land use development The Land Use Concept Map suggests that the general azea fronting Akoni Pule Highway, including the subject area, is appropnate for residential uses, up to four units per acre.
