Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks, to which was referred Communication No. 699 and attached
Resolution No. 225-98, reports as follows:
The purpose of Resolution No. 225-98 is to authorize the County, pursuant to section 23-10 of the Hawaii
County Code and article XIII, section 13-12 of the Hawaii County Charter, to accept a dedication deed
transmitting real properly for road and drainage purposes from Sunstone Realty Partners LLC. The dedication
deed is for a roadway lot located in Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, specifically identified as Tax Map Key No:
(3) 2-3-37:014.
Communication No. 699 is a letter from Deputy Corporation Counsel Gerald Takase, dated January 20, 1998,
which transmits Resolution No. 225-98 to the County Council for its review and consideration. Mr. Takase
states in his letter that the deed has been reviewed by the Department of Public Works and the Planning
Department which have recommended acceptance of the dedication deed. All subdivision improvements have
been completed.
Your Committee first addressed this matter on March 5, 1998, at which time concerns about liability, the
one-way ingress and egress, and construction in a flood inundation area were expressed. Due to these concerns,
Your Committee recommended that this item be deferred to address all concerns discussed.
Communication No. 699.01 is from Frederick Giannini, Deputy Corporation Counsel, dated April 6, 1998,
clarifying Your Committee's concerns of liability and legality when portions of the dedicated subdivision roads
are built in a flood inundation area.
Today Your Committee discussed the concerns referenced on this matter, found that it is in accord with the
purpose and intent of Resolution No. 225-98, and recommends its adoption.
