PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 8:37 a.m.

Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 241, transmitted jointly with Bill
No. 242 by Mayor Stephen K. Yamashiro per Communication No. 831, dated Apri124, 1998,
regazding a State Land Use Boundary Amendment request by Dr. William and Patricia Bergin
at Ouli, South Kohala, Hawaii, TMK: 6-2-9:25, reports as follows:
Bill No. 24l amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-25 for the County of Hawaii, by
changing the district classification for approximately 5.0 acres of land from an Agricultural to a
Rural zoned district.
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
The proposed boundazy request also conforms to the LUPAG Map which designates the azea for
Extensive Agricultural, which is consistent with the rural low-density form. This request would
allow a rural development for Residential-Agricultural uses.
Your Committee concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the
Planning Director.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 241, and
recommends it pass first reading.
