Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-123 (REZ 728) Applicant: Kapoho Properties Request: Amendment to Condition B (Secure Final Subdivision Approval) Tax Map Key: 1-7-17.3 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on February 27, 1997, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to amend Condition B (secure final subdivision approval) of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-123 which changed the district classification for approximately 45.945 acres of land from Agricultural-20 acre (A-20a) to Agricultural-1 acre (A-la). The property is located at the northwestern corner of the Hawaii Belt Road-Huina Road intersection, Olaa Reservation Lots, Olaa, Puna, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recornmending favorable consideration of the request: The applicants secured a change of zone for the subject property from A-20a to A-la, effective November 5, 1992. Subdivisions plans were submitted to the Planning Department for the 40-lot "Kurtistown Heights Subdivision" on December 29, 1992. Tentative Subdivision Approval was secured on February 10, 1993, with Final Plat Maps submitted on February 9, 1994. The applicants requested an administrative extension of time to Condition B (Secure Final Subdivision Approval) until February 10, 1997, reasons being that the present economic cycle slowed the final stages of the project. In particular, the applicant stated that lenders require that Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 financing and bonding of the project occur upon satisfaction of preliminary sales quotas. Although Final Subdivision Approval should have been secured by February 10, 1997, the applicant is requesting an additional extension of time to meet this requirement. The applicant has stated that the present economic cycle has created problems for the development which affected demand, value and their ability to finance the required improvements. Based on the above chronology, the applicants have shown effort to complete the development by securing Tentative Subdivision Approval. Non-performance by the applicant is the result of several conditions that were beyond the control of the applicant and has not been the result of fault or negligence. Further, the granting of a time extension for two (2) years to secure Final Subdivision Approval would not be contrary to the General Plan, Zoning Code or the original reasons for granting this change of zone. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-103, the Puna District Zone Map, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the request and a copy of the staff background for your information. Sincerely, ~ . Kevin M. Balog, Chairman Planning Commission AK: syw LKapoh02.PC Enclosures cc: Mr. Vern Yamanaka Department of Public Works Department of Water Supply Department of Land & Natural Resources Kazu Hayashida, Director/DOT-Highways Division, Honolulu Bkapho0l. skg-2/ 18/97 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND REPORT KAPOHO PROPERTIES CHANGE OF ZONE ORDINANCE NO. 92-123 (REZ 728) AMENDMENT TO CONDITION B (SECURE FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL) KAPOHO PROPERTIES have submitted a request for amendment to Condition B (Secure Final Subdivision Approval) of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-123, which changed the district classification for approximately 45.945 acres of land from Agricultural- 20 acres (A-20a) to Agricultural -1 acre (A-la). The property is located at the Northwestern comer of the Hawaii Belt Road-Huina Road intersection, Olaa Reservation Lots, Olaa, Puna, Hawaii, TMK: 1-7-17:3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1. Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-123: The County Council approved the request for rezoning TMK: 1-7-17:3 from A-20a to A-la, effective November 5, 1992. The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 40 lots having a minimum lot size of one acre. (See Exhibit A) 2. Subdivision Application No. 93-7: Subsequent to the change of zone approval, on December 29, 1992, the applicant submitted subdivision plans for the 40-lot "Kurtistown Heights Subdivision". Tentative Subdivision Approval was secured on February 10, 1993. Final Plat Maps were submitted on February 9, 1994. 3. Administrative Extension of Time to Condition B: By letter dated January 5, 1995, the applicants requested an administrative extension of time to comply with Condition B, secure Final Subdivision Approval. According to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-123, Final Subdivision Approval should have been secured within two years of receipt of Tentative Subdivision Approval or February 10, 1995. Reasons for the extension request were due to the present economic cycle in slowing the final stages of the project. The applicant stated that lenders require that financing and bonding of the project occur upon satisfaction of preliminary sales quotas. Additional time was needed to meet this requirement. By letter dated January 31, 1995, the Planning Director granted a one year extension of time until Att. C-217 (Bill 65) February 10, 1997 to secure Final Subdivision Approval. 4. New Zoning Code (Adopted December 7, 1997): According to the new Zoning Code, effective December 7, 1997, there are no longer references to zoning designations of A-la to A-4a. However, since this change of zone request was approved in 1992, the proposed lots would be established as non-conforming lots. APPLICANT'S REQUEST 5. Applicant's Request: The applicant has submitted a request for an additional extension of time to Condition B, by letter received November 5, 1996. Reasons being that the present economic cycle has created problems for the development which affected demand, value and their ability to finance the required improvements. (See Exhibit B).
