Yamashiro per Communication No. 875, dated May 29, 1998, regarding the change of zone Ordinance No. 90-008 request by Elwin F. Hussey at Kahua I st, North Kohala, Hawaii, TMK: 5-9-07:7, reports as follows: Bill No. 257 amends Ordinance No. 90-008, which reclassitied 28.832 acres of land from Agricultural (A-20a) to Agricultural (A-3a), by amending Condition B to include a time extension of three years to secure Final Subdivision Approval. The effecaive date of the Change of Zone Ordinance No. 90-008 for the subject property was February l3, 1990. On May 13, 1991, the Planning Director granted aone-year time extension for Condition B until February 13, 1992. The Planning Director acknowledged receipt of the subdivision plans in November 1991. and the final Plat maps were submitted in February 1997. However, the Final Subdivision Approval was not secured by February L0, 1997, hence the request for the three year time extension. Bill No. 257 surfaced at the June I5, 1998 Planning Committee meeting, at which time Susan Wells Fischer, the agent for Elwin Hussey and a part owner of the subject parcel, who lives across the street from the proposed project, explained that the plans for the subject parcel are to develop the lots and perhaps sell seven of the eight lots. Although they currently have no plans to build any homes, Mrs. Fischer and her husband have considered moving across the street to avoid the existing two condominiums in front of her property. Mrs. Fischer explained that she had asked the applicant if they wanted the CPR, but they indicated that they were not interested. Your Committee then stated that it would review the possibility of inserting a condition in Bill No. 257, which restricts CPRs from this subdivision. Your Committee then concurred with the decision of the Planning Commission and recommended that Bill No. 257 pass First Reading. At the June 15, 1998 Planning Committee meeting, to indicate that the applicant intends to complete the proposed eight-lot subdivision consisting of 3-acre parcels, the applicant's agent stated that they received a new grading permit and the surveyors have completed the staking. Plans for dust control and compaction are also being made.
