Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Communication No. 287, reports as
follows:
Communication No. 287, transmitted by Planning Director BJ Leithead Todd, dated
April 21, 2009 presents a resolution for approval of an In Lieu Fair Share contribution by Kohala
Ranch, LLC, in the amount of $16,191.99. This amount will be used towards the purchase of a
new fire truck to support fire protection functions, as required by Condition R(a) of Ordinance
92-40.
The payment and delivery of the fire truck are scheduled for early June. The balance of the
$159,000 purchase price for the fire truck was raised by the Kohala Ranch Community
Association ("KRCA"). Kohala Ranch, LLC requested that it receive 33 single-family dwelling
credits against any future fair share contributions that it may be responsible for. These credits
may be used to satisfy any existing or future fire fair share requirements within the North Kohala
district. Furthermore, should the County adopt an impact fee ordinance, these credits may be
used to satisfy fire impact fee requirements for 33 single-family residential units or its
equivalent.
Planning Committee Chair Donald Ikeda introduced an amendment to Resolution No 127-09,
correcting formatting errors and to include language regarding the 33 unit credit. Council
Member Brenda Ford requested confirmation from Fire Chief Darryl Oliveira that the new fire
truck would be housed in Kohala. Council Member Ford stated that she did not want to get a
second-hand fire truck from Hilo. Chief Oliveira stated that the fire truck will be housed in
Kohala. All nine members of the Committee voted in favor of amending Resolution 127-09 with
the amendments contained in Communication 287.1
Your Committee concurs with the Planning Director's proposed Resolution 127-09, as amended
by Communication 287.1.
