Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 21, transmitted by Mayor Stephen
K. Yamashiro per Communication No. 65, dated December 27, 1996, regazding the State Land
Use Boundary Amendment by Towne Development of Hawaii at Pahoehoe 3rd, North Kona,
Hawaii, TMK: 7-7-08:30 and 96, reports as follows:
Bill No. 21 amends the State Land Use Boundaries Map, H-8 for the County of Hawaii, by
changing the district classification for approximately 1 Q± acres of land from the Agricultural to
the Urban District.
The subject property is located on the makai side of Kuakini Highway and northeast of the White
Sands Beach Estates Subdivision where the applicant intends to subdivide the property into
thirty- 15,000 squaze foot lots.
Concurrently, the applicant is also requesting a change of zone for the subject property from an
Unplanned (U) designation to a RS-15 designation.
Taiyo Hawaii Company, Ltd. is the owner of TMK: 7-7-8:30 which consists of approximately 7+
acres and Karen Kobayashi and Katherine Staton are the owners of TMK: 7-7-8:96 which
consists of approximately 5.8± acres.
The subject property, rectangular-shaped and slightly sloping, is proposed to be incorporated into
the adjacent proposed Keauhou View Estates subdivision which is a 387-lot subdivision zoned
for Single Family Residential in 1983. In May 1996, the ordinance was then amended by
Ordinance No. 96-60 by amending the conditions of approval.
Access to the subject property will be via subdivision roadways from the adjacent proposed
Keauhou View Estates Subdivision. The proposed Alii Highway will traverse along the makai
boundary of the project site.
For agricultural productivity by the Land Study Bureau's Detail Land Classification System, soils
within the mauka area of the subject property have been classified as "D" or Poor and in the
makai area as "E" or Very Poor. The Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii
(ALISH) system classifies the soils within the mauka portion of the subject property as "Other
Important Agricultural Lands" and the makai portion of the subject property is unclassified. An
archaeological study was not conducted on the subject property.
