The proposed change of zone for the subject land together with the proposed
real estate development is consistent with the General Plan document of the
County of Hawaii. In connection with housing, the proposed project, " Housing
and Community Facilities for the Elderly " is involved with the following
specific goals, policies and course of action:
GOALS
(1) Encourage safe, sanitary and -livable housing.
(2) To attain diversity of socio-economic housing mix throughout
the different parts of the County.
(3) Formulate program for housing.
(4) Maintain a housing supply which allows a variety of choice.
(5) To provide for multiple residential developments that maximize
convenience for its occupants.
POLICIES
(1) The construction of specially designed facilities for elderly
persons needing institutional care and for active elderly
persons shall be encouraged.
(2) The use of new housing design and construction shall be encouraged
[o keep housing cost at a minimum and to increase the volume of
production through th e'further use of technological innovations.
(3) Public and private programs intended to increase the supply of
housing and to create a variety of choice shall be encouraged.
(4) The County shall promote and support the use of Turnkey develop-
ments and encourage the use of cluster and planned unit develop-
ments.
(5) Promote and encourage the rehabilitation and utilization of
urban areas which are serviced by basic community facilities
and utilities.
(6) Incorporate innovations such as the " zone of mix " into the
Zoning Ordinance in order to achieve.a housing mix and. to permit
the more efficient development of lands which have topographic
and/or drainage problems.
COURSE OF ACTION, South Hilo
(1) Aid the State in providing for low and moderate income families,
" gap groups " and the elderly in this area through the State
Housing Program.
(2) Coordinate with non-profit and private interests in obtaining
government aid to construct and provide a variety of housing
choice for low and moderate income residents of this area.
The rezoning approval will permit the construction of a proposed real estate
development which consists of 112 medium priced housing units specifically planned
for the elderly. The units are clustered around the perimeter of the property in
a village-like manner which leaves the center portion open for landscaping and
outdoor activities. This outdoor common will be used for relaxing, picnics or
for a small putting green. A continuous pedestrian walk meanders in front of all
the units and then back to a common parking area. A portion of the property has
been designated for a community center. Here, in conjunction with an outdoor .
swimming pool and tennis ,court, the residents can participate in individual or
group socials, hobbies, crafts and health programs. There is no doubt in our
opinion that this project will serve a need and become a residential asset to the
community.

The subject land has been optioned by Roger Lee, Architect. htr. Lee has
prepared preliminary plans (as submitted) for a housing development with
community facilities for the elderly. His plan includes a comprehensive
study on the number of housing units, community facilities, parking,
recreational activities and landscaping for the site. Upon approval of
rezoning, the land will be transferred within a year.
3, [Vhat specific buildinc plans do you have for the subject
land? Include in your anstaer the follocaingo type of
building (apartment, office, launderette, etc,); financing
arrangement; timetable for construction; and any other
information which you feel might help us in evaluating
your request,
The building plans are preliminary but they demonstrate the type of buildings
[o be constructed. The architecture is low rise, rambling, one and two
story wood framed and wood finished buildings. These buildings will be ad-
Justed and oriented [o suit the natural hillside terrain and involving the.
minimum amount of cut and fill. There are 62 one bedroom units, 50 two

4, Have 'you perfcrmed any study which would demonstrate a
need for your proposed building and/or development? yE5
If so, please elaborate on your findings in the space
provided below.
Studies have been made on an informal basis; that is, through verbal discussior.
with many peoplein various fields.
(1) Prospective owner-occupants: There is a need for more communal type
housing, especially for the elderly, where one can reside and be part
of community activities within the project. The social environments
along with the indoor and outdoor recreational activities will be
welcomed and most certainly sought after.
(2) Real estate market: As Hilo's population increases, the now unsold
condominium apartments will gradually be occupied. However, there is
a present need for better apartments in the medium price range; one
bedroom units in the $ 30,000 range and two bedroom units in [he
$ 40,000 range. Apartments close to downtown is desirable for ease of
traveling by public transportation.
(3) Medical profession: The thought of having health oriented facilities
near or within a housing project is ideal. This would give additional
incentive for people to become aware of their health needs, both as
preventive measures and rehabilitation. Daily or weekly programs
could be organized in which the individual or groups can participate
under a physical director. Physical exercise programs should be
oriented to the outdoor and as well as to the more limited indoor.
To date such prog ramshave been limited to YMCA, YWCA or similar
institutions.

CHANGE OF ZONE: CHIAKI MATSUO
The applicant, Chiaki Matsuo, is requesting a change of zone
for 7.765 acres of land from a Single Family Residential - 7,500
square foot (RS-7.5) and an Agricultural 1-acre (A-1a) zoned dis-
trict to a Multiple Residential - 4,000 square foot (RM-4) zoned
district. The RS-7.5 zoned area is about .6+ acre and the A-1a
area is.7.1+ acres. The area in question is situated along the
makai side o£ Komohana Street, approximately 100 feet Puna side
of the Komohana Street-Punahele Street intersection, Punahoa 2nd,
South Hilo (TMK: 2-3-35:16).
In request of the change of zone, the applicant intends to
develop housing and community facilities specifically for the
elderly. Froposed are housing units, consisting of one and two-
bedroom units. Also proposed is a community center building which
would include a health spa, swimming pool, snack bar, and office.
The General Plan land use pattern allocation guide map desig-
nates the area for Medium Density Urban Development. Such a de-
signation may allow multiple residential and related uses at a
density of 11.6 to 35 units per acre. The requested RM-4 density
amounts to ten (10) units per acre. $owever, the Hilo Community
Development Plan's (Hilo CDP) zone wide map designates the area
as Open. In doing so, the Plan recommends the establishment of
a seven-acre neighborhood park as part of the PUD open space at
the base of Puu Halai by 1980-85. In regards to this, the Depart-
ment of Parks and Recreation had the following comments:
"Please be informed that the County Recreation Plan (p. 66)
does propose a neighborhood park for the Ponahawai area. However,
the specific site is not pinpointed. Other considerations include
1) the residential development proposed by Aarninistration, Inc.
on TMK: 2-3-36 por. 18 and 2-3-37:6 which proposes to set aside
recreational areas, and 2) that other developments, e.g. Matsuo,
will provide their own private recreational facilities which will
satisfy recreational needs in the area."
The Soil Conservation Services land capability unit is Class
III or soils which have severe limitations that reduce the choice
of plants, require special conservation practices, or both.' The
soil is of the Hilo series which consists of well-drained silty
clay loams. The surface and subsoil are 12 inches and 48 inches
thick respectively. Permeability is rapid, runoff is slow, and
the erosion hazard is slight. The slopes range from 0 to 10 perccent,
and the annual rainfall is between 120 and 180 inches..
The land was formerly used for sugar cane production,
however, it is no longer used for that purpose although uncultivated
sugar cane stocks are growing. Surrounding land uses include the
Ka Waena Lapo'au Medical Center Building, presently under construc-
tion on the Puna side, single family dwellings along Punahele
Street, and vacant lands across Komohana Street.
In further support of the request, the applicant has stated
the following:
"The rezoning approval will permit the construction of
a proposed real estate development which consists of ~
medium priced housing units specifically planned for the
elderly. The units are clustered around the perimeter of
the property in a village-like manner which leaves the center

one can reside and be part of community activities within
g..
the project. The social environments along with the
indoor and outdoor recreational activities will be
welcomed and most certainly sought after.
(2) Real estate market: As Hilo's population increases, the
now unsold condominium apartments will gradually be
occupied. However, there is a present need for better
apartments in the medium price range; one bedroom units
in the $30,000 range and two bedroom units in the $40,000
range. Apartments close to downtown is desirable for
ease of traveling by public transportation.
(3) Medical profession: The thought of having health oriented
facilities near or within a housing project is ideal.
This would give additional incentive for people to become
aware of their health needs, both as preventive measures
and rehabilitation. Daily or weekly programs could be
organized in which the individual or groups can partici-
pate under a physical director. Physical exercise
programs should be oriented to the outdoor and as well
as to the more limited indoor. To date such programs
have been limited to YMCA, YWCA or similar institutions."
Per letter dated January 24, 1975, the applicant further
stated the following:

~;t is
contemplated that the units will be sold as condominiums in
the medium-priced range. By medium-price, it is hoped that
the sales price for a 1 BR will be approximately thirty eight
thousand dollars ($38,000) and a 2 BR will be approximately
forty eight thousand dollars ($48,000). The sales are based
on lease land. I assume that by the time this project is
completed and ready for occupancy, the sales price range
for Hilo will be actually low to medium. If inflation does
not get completely out of hand, it is anticipated that the
project can be accomplished without government or non-profit
private subsidy. I believe that all factors in project costs,
including land costs, construction, interest, services,
rentals and profits can be kept to a minimum; enabling the
occupants of the housing units to reside there as reasonably
as possible. It is natural that the monthly maintenance
will be higkier than the normal in order to cover the
community facilities expenses which will include landscaping
upkeep, outdoor and indoor facilities, health program and
maximum security program.
"In regard to the sewer, there are several alternate
methods of accomplishing this.
(1) There is an existing manhole or main sewer connec-
tion at the intersection of Punahele and Halai. We can
negotiate for an easement on Parcel 15 or Parcel 17 and
Chanae of Zone

continue with a public sewer in Punahele until we reach
the manhole.
(2) There is a possibility for a future city and
county sewer line in Punahele. If this becomes a reality,
we will provide for a public sewer in Komohana, connecting
to the main sewer at the intersection of Komohana and
Punahele.
(3) There i.s a possibility for a future city and
county sewer line in Ponahawai. If this becomes a reality,
we can negotiate for an easement on Parcel 5. (The Medical
Center Site) and connect to the sewer main."
~ In regards to the sewage situation, the Department of Public
Works had the following comments to offer:
"There is a possibility of connecting to the existing
sewer main at the intersection of Punahele and Haili Street
No sewer extension near Punahele and Ponahawai Street is
contemplated in the foreseeable future.')
~; The Waiakea Soil. and Water Conservation District commented
that "the proposed development will be a welcome addition to
Hilo's growth. However, we urge that its effect on the traffic
pattern be studied and proper steps be taken to alleviate any
traffic congestion."
All other cooperating agencies had no objections to or
comments on the subject request.

C In review of the applicant's EIS which was submitted along with
the application there were three (3) basic areas of concern:
1. The topography o£ the site is.such that-there may be
localized drainage problems.
2, The units proposed will generate traffic in the order
of approximately 800 trips per day. It is estimated that
this volume to be approximately ten percent (10%) of the
total traffic on Komohana Street. The impact of such an
increase will have to be scrutinized.
3. The alternative schemes for sewer connection have to be
discussed with the Chief Engineer.
