Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 155 transmitted jointly with Bill

State Land Use Boundary Amendment request by Plflil Delmer, at Ouli, South Kohala, Hawaii
TMK: 6-2-11:8, reports as follows:
Bill No. 155 amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-14 for the County of Hawaii, by
changing the district classif cation for approximately 5.006 acres of land from an Agricultural to
a Rural zoned district.
The rectangular shaped subject property, owned in fee by the applicant and Diane C. Delmer, is
located in Anekona Estates Subdivision bordered by Kawaihae Road and Kanehoa Street. The
property is currently vacant of any structures and agricultural activities.
The subject property, located approximately six miles from the nearest coastline, is not situated
within the Special Management Area.
On October 23, 1990, the 36-lot Anekona Estates Subdivision was created. Planning Department
records indicate Ohana Dwelling permits were approved for 12 lots, and Real Property Tax
records indicate there are 14 lots with Condominium Property Regimes.
Surrounding properties are located within the State's Agricultural and Rural Districts and in the
County's Agricultural (A-Sa and A-la) and Residential and Agricultural (RA-2a) zoned districts.
The 26-lot Kanehoa Subdivision, located immediately to the east of Anekona Estates
Subdivision has 16 lots with Ohana Dwelling permits, and 14 lots with Condominium Property
Regimes. The 10-lot Kamuela Plantations Subdivision is located further to the east; and the 26-
lot Waimea Landmark Estates Subdivision is located across the Kawaihae Road and further to
the northeast. These subdivisions include mixed residential uses, vacant lands, and very few
residential/agricultural uses. The 33-unit Ouli Ekahi affordable rental housing project and the
40-lot Ouli Mutual Self Help Housing Subdivision project are located to the west of Anekona
Estates and are designated as State Land Use Urban District. The Hale Wailani property,
adjacent to and west of Anekona Estates Subdivision and the housing projects, is currently zoned
A-1 a and the developer proposes a 49-lot 2-acre minimum sized subdivision.
The property is located within Zone X, an area determined to be outside the 500-year flood plain.
The primary access for Anekona Estates from Kawaihae Road is via Anekona Street.
