/:HAiVGE OF Zi
The ap~ylicant, L~upahoehoe Sugar Company, is requesting a change
of zone for~,110± acreis of land from an Agriculture 20-acre (A-20a) to
a Single Fa~hily Residential - 10,000 square foot (RS-10) zoned district.
The area inquestion is located immediately mauka of the Hawaii Belt
Highway betvpeen Kaiwihahilahi and Kihalani Gulches, adjacent to and
Hilo side o$ the Laup~ahoehoe High and Elementary School, Papaaloa,
North Hilo QTMK: 3-5,~-03: por. 27 and 72 and 3-5-4: por. 7 and 8).
In req~est of thle change of zone, the applicant intends to create
a residential subdivision for sugar employees as well as for the
private mar et. Proppsed is a Cluster Plan Development consisting of
400+ lots o~ which ni~ety percent (90~) will be 10,000 square foot lots
and ten per~ent (10&)! 7,500 square foot lots. The total house and lot
package wild range be~ltween $29,000.00 to $36,000.00. A 3-acre park
I
site will a]}so be provided and will eventually be turned over to the
County. Fo~ the Commlissioners' information, the subdivision plan as
submitted w~uld not necessarily be the one which would be accepted for
f2,na1 Subdivision app~xoval.

plants, :require ver}~ careful management, or both. The surface
layer of the area i:o of the silty clay loam about 12 inches thick.
Permeabi:Lity is moderately rapid, runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is moderate. The slope of the land ranges from 12 to 20 per-
cent, anti the annLial. rainfall is between 90 to 120 inches.
Presently situated on the parcels involved are a number of
plantation housing units as indicated in red on the presentation map.
Approximately 100 acres of the area is presently in sugar cane pro-
duction. A church i.s situated on parcel 72. All of the buildings
with the exception. of the three (3) supervisors' homes and the church
will be removed. Surrounding land uses include the Laupahoehoe High
and Elementary School as well as the Papaaloa urban district situated
immediately makai of the area in question. These areas are primarily
zoned RS-15.
There are no historical features or identifiable landforms
attributed to the property.
Upon review of the request, the Dept. of Water Supply .commented in
the following:
"The existing public water facilities will not be able to support
the total scope of this proposed change of zone application. Off-
site water system improvements are required for this change of zone
and/or eventual subdivision application."
All other essential utilities are or will be made available to
the subject area.

The State Dept. of Transportation, Highways Division, recommended
that a channelized intersection with left turn storage lanes, decelera-
tion and acceleration lanes be provided.
The Department of Public Works commented in the following:
"The existing Kihalani Gulch Homestead Road is located too close
to the top of gulch. During the 1973 earthquake, an earth slippage
occurred along this road that wiped out the shoulder. The soils
engineer that was hired by the County as a consultant stated that the
road should be rebuilt away from the gulch. If this development
proposes to use this road, then for safety reasons, the road should
be built away from the bank."
Upon review of the request, the Mauna Kea Soil and Water
Conservation District had the following comments and recommendations:
"1. A planned water disposal and surface runoff system needs to
to be done. This area receives approximately 100 inches
of rain annually. The ten (10) year 24 hour rainfall
frequency is 12 inches. Runoff from a subdivision on this
site will be approximately 223 more than the present cane
fields. Planning for control of this runoff should be done
prior to submitting a final subdivision plat.
"2. Existing natural draws should not be adversely obstructed.
These draws should be utilized for safe disposal of runoff.
Building could occur in the draws if extensive land shaping
is done to provide for adequate water management. However,
this would be very costly.
Change of Zone

"3. All roads should be laid out across the slope on the contour
to the extent practical and feasible. A roadside ditch on
the mauka side should be constructed to intercept water
coming down the slope and route it to a planned waterway.
"4. All house lots should receive some minor shaping to route
runoff away from the homes. This is easily done when pre-
paring the site for building. Property lines should be
utilized as minor waterways to convey water away from the
area.
"5. Off-site drainage from above the site should be considered.
The amount of water from adjoining cane fields above the
proposed subdivision was not calculated: However, management
of this water should be considered.
"6. All disturbed areas should be seeded and fertilized as soon
after construction as possible. This will prevent the soil
from drying out and thus becoming harder to vegetate. The
hazard of severe wind erosion and dust blowing could occur
if the soil is left exposed for a long length of time.
"7. In building roads, etc., topsoil could be pushed on adjacent
lots for use in shaping and landscaping individual lots.
"8. Some temporary protection measures such as diversions may be
advisable. This would depend on the sequence of developing
the area. If large areas are to be disturbed and exposed
for any length of time, temporary diversions would be
advisable."

The Police Department commented in the following:
"This subdivision is being developed by the Laupahoehoe Sugar
Company primarily for their employees. The Laupahoehoe Sugar Company
plans to relocate their employees into this subdivision and eventually
phase-out some of the present "camps" located throughout the district.
"This relocation will concentrate the population in Papaaloa and
increase the demand for police services in this area, but the need
for police services in other areas will diminish as the "camps" are
phased out.
"Traffic problems will be created by this development and some
of the problems anticipated are listed below:
1. The volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be
increased in this area and the present speed limit of
45 MPH should be maintained. (The State Highway Division
recommended that the speed limit be raised to 50 MPH.)
2. Pedestrian traffic to and from Laupahoehoe School will also
increase. A pedestrian walkway on the mauka side of the
highway between the school and the subdivision should be
provided.
3. The main recreation center is located at the Papaaloa Gym
Complex, makai of the highway. Pedestrians going to and
from this area should be provided a safe means of crossing
the highway such as an overpass or crosswalk.
"At this time>_ we do not foresee any problem in providing adequate
police services in this district as a result of this development."

Megumi Kon, Deputy Managing Director, had the following comments
to offer:
"The subject lands are being proposed for sugar workers housing
as part of the sugar. <:ompany's program to phase out its 'plantation
housing'. The planl=ai:ion's proposed new housing program will be similar
to Brewer's Kulaimarru development with strong participation by the
workers through the union's housing committee in the design and sales
of the housing. Depending on the final approach, construction financing
will probably be obtained through Act 105 via HHA and long term mortgage
through the Farmers` Dome Administration, including interest subsidy.
"The area requE>_si=ed for rezoning is quite sizeable as compared
to the potential market in the next five years. Asstuning a market of
100 units the first. year and 50 units a year for next four, it would
take about 7 years to absorb the full 135 acres. If the sugar company
follows an agressive I~rogram and FmHA subsidy money doesn't dry up
the lands could be absorbed in the 7 years, otherwise it could be
longer, Depending on the Planning Department's position on development
period of newly rezoned areas, some thought should be given on the total
area requested for rezoning. On the other hand, if incremental zoning
could be imposed with a time allowance of 2 to 3 years between incre-
ments (say 4 increments as suggested by owner), it would be very helpful
to the owner from an overall development planning. If such an incre-
mental zoning is approved, I would think that a stringent requirement
on performance should be imposed to prevent possible. spec sales in the

tail end of the project when sales to plantation people slows down and
sales are opened to the public. The rezoning would serve to improve
the housing condition in the Laupahoehoe area."
The Dept. of Parks and Recreation stated the following:
"Alth.ough the application does mention development of recreational
facilities, there is no park site designated in the. proposed subdivi-
sion map.
"Before recreational needs can be adequately established, an
accurate number of 'replacement' units is required to determined
whether 'new' population is introduced into the area.
"Due to the proximity of the Papaaloa Playground and Laupahoehoe
School, it would appear that adequate recreational facilities are
available and that monetary fees, in lieu of land dedication,. is
recommended."
"The Dept. of Research and Development stated that "A moderately
priced subdivision to ;provide housing for the residents of this area
will alleviate some of the housing problems. The package-deal type
of arrangement would ;probably .be the most attractive in terms of cost.
The consolidation of :homes within a specified area will no doubt cut
down on some of the government's public service costs."
All ether cooperating agencies, including the State Dept. of
Agriculture and the Dept. of Education, had no objections to the
subject request.

The North Hilo Community Council stated the following:
"The shortage of housing has always been a problem in the North
Hilo District and the proposed development by the Laupahoehoe Sugar
Company at Papaaloa will relieve this problem to a great degree. The
North Hilo Community Council has always supported housing developments
in the Laupahoehoe area and we, therefore, recommend the approval of
this application by Laupahoehoe Sugar Company."
In further support of the request, the applicant has stated the
following:
"A. Consistency of Change in Zoning with the County General Pian
1. The County General Plan encourages the sugar company
to continue assistance in providing its employees with
suitable housing before phasing out of the rental housing
market.
2. As a major landowner in North Hilo, the sugar company
is encouraged to provide housing sites-for the private
market as well.
3. Creation of the development to adjoin existing urban
lands in Laupahoehoe meets the County General Plan's
goal of centralizing housing near existing urban centers
where services such as nearby schools, businesses, and
utilities are readily available. The General Plan desig-
nates urban areas of North Hilo to be Ninole, Ooka.la, and
Laupahoehoe.
Change of Zone
Laupahoehoe Sugar Company
Page 9
4. The County General Plan Land Use Allocation map desig-
nates approximately 40 acres of the site in low density
urban development, with the remaining area in agriculture.
It is assumed that the entire area is compatible with the
General Plan as an urban expansion area, as the General
Plan provides for flexibility in allocating new residen-
tial areas around a designated urban center such as
Laupahoehoe. The recent action of the State Land Use
Commission of changing the entire area from agricultural
to urban should also have a direct influence in determining
the exact location of urban expansion.
5. The addition of these 135+ acres to the existing residen-
tial zoning in North Hilo would be well within the total-
acreage set aside for residential development in North
Hilo as set forth in the General Plan's Proposed Urban
Land Use Pattern Acreage Allocation table. Some 520
acres are designated for residential use in this table;
however, only 265 acres are presently zoned.
6. The existing terrain of the area, usable land bordered
by steep gulches, lends itself to a zone of mix concept
where the steep slopes can be kept open and a better land
utilization of the usable area achieved.

"B. Further Justification for Rezoning
Immediate development of the first increment of approximately
100 homes is contempQated. An eventual need to utilize the
entire area for a bedroom community is foreseen inasmuch as
the sugar company is phasing out all of the rental housing
and inasmuch as there are many other residents of Laupahoehoe
who are interested in moving to this development.
The company realizes that incremental zoning may be imposed
upon this development. It is anticipated that the entire
development would be broken up into four increments, and
incremental zoning should be imposed on that basis.
Some dai:a that justify rezoning of additional lands in North
Hilo:
1. A Plan for North Hilo District, as prepared for the County
of Hawaii and the North xilo Community Council by Hiroshi
Kasamoto in 1970, cites the following:.
By 1975, about 318 of the existing 565 houses
in North Hilo need to be replaced. This con-
stitutes approximately 176 houses.
Within the planning period of 20 years, eventually
538, or about 300 homes, need to be replaced.
Plantation homes comprise about one-half of the
total housing in North Hilo.
Many desire to continue living in North Hilo, if
housing is available.
There is approximately a 3 to 1 ratio of rental homes
versus owned-homes i.n North Hilo.
e

2. There i:;virtually no available vacant land for housing
development in Laupahoehoe. In 1971, the County Planning
Department cited an area of 39 vacant acres in residential-
zoned areas in the entire North Hilo district. Of this
area, 7.5 acres were developed by the plantation for
housing in Laupahoehoe. A check on the remaining 31.5
acres shows that most of these acreages are in scattered
parcels within Laupahoehoe, where owners are reluctant to
develop; they prefer to keep the acreages in large,
rural-t:ype lots.
Another 10 acres above the school were rezoned to residen-
tia]. in 1974 but are still vacant. Only about 36 house-
lots are planned for this site."
