The subject property is located in the Kanehoa Subdivision approximately 750 feet south of the entrance road from Kawaihae Road. The applicants aze proposing to create atwo-lot subdivision using a 2.98 acre portion of the existing lot for their residential/agricultural purposes, and an additional lot of 2.02 acres for use by a family member or possibly to market. The rectangulaz shaped lot presently has two access points off of Kanehoa Drive that will accommodate the two proposed lots. One of the two proposed lots is fully improved with a vaziety of structures that accommodate the Bergin's use of their property. The other proposed lot is vacant but graded and fenced. Surrounding lands to the Kanehoa Subdivision include the vacant State-owned lands to the south which aze zoned A-Sa; Kamuela Plantations, a 10-lot subdivision, located immediately to the east which are zoned A-Sa; Anekona Estates Subdivision, a 36-lot subdivision, located to the west which aze zoned A-Sa; and Waimea Landmazk Estates, a 26-lot subdivision, located across the Kawaihae Road to the north which aze zoned A-3a. These subdivisions include single-family residential, agricultural and vacant lands. In October 1996, the County Council approved State Land Use Boundary Amendments from an Agricultural to Rural District for two 5-acre pazcels within the adjacent Kamuela Plantations Subdivision. The proposed Rural boundary amendment would be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and would also complement the Housing and Single Family Residential Elements of the General Plan. The amendment also complements the State Land Use District Regulations and is supportive of the State of Hawaii Plan. PC Report 118
