According to the Real Property Tax Division, in 1968, the <br /> <br /> area of Parcel 8 was dropped into Pazce17, resulting into a 2.00 acre pazcel. The Planning <br /> Department has no record of the consolidation of Parcels 7 and 8. <br /> The subject property is primarily vacant but a small portion is utilized for temporary unimproved <br /> pazking area for the employees of the KTA Shopping Center. An existing 50-foot wide vehiculaz <br /> access with a 28-foot wide pavement, traverses within the subject property's northern boundary <br /> and has been utilized by the general public for ingress/egress purposes for both the KTA <br /> Shopping Center and the Puainako Shopping Center. <br /> Access to the subject property will be via the existing 50-foot wide private vehiculaz access <br /> roadway which runs perpendicular to Kilauea Avenue, which has a 36-foot wide pavement <br /> within a 60-foot wide right-of--way. According to the City of Hilo Zone Map and the General <br /> Plan Facilities Map, Kilauea Avenue is reflected to be widened to an 80-foot wide right-of--way. <br /> PC REPORT NO. 66 <br /> <br />
