Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 155, reports as follows:
Bill No. 155, transmitted via Communication No. 556 from Mayor William P. Kenoi, dated
September 28,2009, presents a Request for Change of District Classification by Edward Nagata.
Bill No. 155 seeks to change the zoning from Agricultural- 3 Acres (A-3a) to Family
Agriculture - 1 acre (FA-1a) for the parcel which is approximately 5.50 acres in size. The
property is located along the southeast side of Ainaola Drive, approximately 1,200 feet west of
the Ainaloa Drive - Ainalako Road intersection, Waiakea Homestead 2nd Series, South Hilo,
Hawai'i, TMK: 2-4-31:08
There was no public testimony on the matter. The applicant, Edward Nagata, appeared before
your Committee. The applicant stated that he wants to subdivide the property into 4 one-acre
plus parcels to be distributed to family members.
The applicant requested clarification regarding Condition F which requires the applicant to
subdivide a fifteen (15)-foot wide fl1ture road widening strip along the entire property frontage of
Ainaola Drive, and to dedicate to the County the future road widening strip within five (5) years
from the effective date of the ordinance. Mr. Nagata wanted to know if the road widening and
dedication would be credited to his fair share contributions. Planning Director Bobby Jean
Leithead Todd responded that since the road in question is a regional road, the cost \vould be
applied to the applicant's fair share.
Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable
recommendation for approval of the re-zoning request.
