Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 202, transmitted jointly with Bill
No. 203 by Mayor Harry Kim, per Communication No. 573, dated March 25, 2002, regarding the
State Land Use Boundary amendment request by Thoanas C. and F. Ann Hill, at Ouli, South
Kohala, Hawaii, TMK: 6-2-11:26, reports as follows:
Bill No. 202 amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-14 for the County of Hawaii, by
changing the district classification for approximately 5.248 acres of land from an Agricultural to
a Rural zoned district.
The flag shaped lot ,owned in fee by Hill Family Trust and Mark N. Holmes, is located in the
Anekona Estates Subdivision approximately three-eighths of a mile south of the Kawaihae Road,
at the end of Aho Place and bordered by Keanuiomano Stream.
The General Plan LUPAG Map classification is Extensive Agricultural, which permits pasture
and range land usage. The property and surrounding areas were previously zoned Unplanned;
however, with the adoption of the 1996 Zoning Code, the parcel was reclassified to Agricultural-
5 acre.
The subject parcel is located six miles from the nearest coastline, so it is not located within the
Special Management Area.
Lands immediately to the east and west of the property have been redesignated to Rural and
zoned Residential and Agricultural (RA-2a) by the County. The adjacent parcels to the north are
five acre parcels within the State Agricultural District, zoned Agricultural (A-Sa) by the County,
and include mixed residential uses and/or vacant lands The 10 lot Kamuela Plantations
Subdivision, located further to the east, and the 26 lot Waimea Landmark Estates Subdivision,
located across the Kawaihae Road and further to the northeast, include mixed residential uses,
vacant lands and very few residential/agricultural uses. The Ouli Ekahi 33-unit affordable rental
housing project is located to the west of Anekona Estates and is in the State Land Use Urban
District. The Hale Wailani property, adjacent to and west of Anekona Estates and the housing
projects, is currently zoned A-la with a proposed 49 two-acre minimum lot subdivision.
The property is located within Zone X, an area outside the 500-year flood plain.
Access to Anekona Estates is from Kawaihae Road via Anekona Street. Direct access to the
property is from Aho Place, a cul-de-sac.
