Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 108, transmitted by Mayor Stephen
K. Yamashiro per Communication No. 376, dated June 25, 1997, regazding the amendment to
Condition P of Ordinance Nos. 93-38 and 96-3 by McClean Honokodau Properties, L.P.,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 108 amends Ordinance No. 93-38, as amended by Ordinance No. 96-3, which
reclassified approximately 40 acres of land from Open (O) to Limited Industrial (ML-40a) and
approximately 5.5 acres of land from Open (O) to General Industrial (MG-Sa) zoned district at
Honokohau 2nd, North Kona, Hawaii, TMK:7-4-08:Portions of 26 and 49.
The subject properties are located east of the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor, approximately
1,000 feet mauka of the Queen Kaahumanu HighwaylKealakehe Pazkway intersection.
The purpose of the request is to amend the performance requirements of Ordinance 93-38, as
amended by Ordinance No. 96-3 to ensure that the applicant is not in violation with the time
conditions.
The construction and operation of a ready-mix concrete batching plant requires the availability of
utilities, particulazly electric power to the plant site. The applicant has constructed a 60-foot
graded road to the ready-mix plant site, installed a 12" water line in accordance with plans
approved by the Department of Water Supply, and installed an 8" sewer line in accordance with
plans approved by the Department of Public Works.
In August 1995, the applicant had submitted a payment of $78,628.00 to Helco for the
installation of an overhead electrical distribution system expecting that Helco would proceed
immediately with the installation. However, Helco determined that it was necessary to install the
new Helco three phase 12.47KV overhead distribution system and pole P-S1X on Queen
Kaahumanu Highway before it could extend the three phase up to the applicant's ready-mix plant
site.
Your Committee concurs with the following reasons by the Planning Commission and the
Planning Director for recommending a favorable consideration for the amendment request:
1. The result of conditions which could not have been foreseen or are beyond the
control of the applicant.

2. The amendment would not be contrary to the General Plan nor would it be
contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone.
3. The applicant has either complied with, or initiated the process of compliance
with other conditions of approval within the subject ordinance.
Your Committee amended Bill No. 108 as circulated in Draft 2 which changed the word "bill"
to "amendment." Your Committee further amended Bill No. 108, Drafr 2, by replacing the
"shall" to "may" in Conditions P and R(5).
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 108, Draft r; as
amended to Draft 3; and recommends that it pass first reading.
