DATE: June 14, 2011 Re: Comm. No. 225/ Bill No. 59
PLACE: Council Chambers

TIME: 10:30. a.m.

Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 59, reports as follows:
Bill No. 59, transmitted by Mayor William P. Kenoi, via Communication No. 225 dated
May 24, 2011, is an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 03 -82 which amended Section 25 -8 -33
(City of Hilo Zone Map), Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code, by
changing the District classification from Limited Industrial- 20,000 Square Feet (ML -20) to
Industrial- Commercial Mixed Use - 20,000 Square Feet (MCX -20) at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii,
covered by Tax Map Key 2 -2- 035:061.
Bill 59 proposes an amendment to Condition F to allow the applicant to dispose of development
generated waste in a manner meeting with the approval of the State Department of Health due to the
absence of a sewer line in close proximity to the property and also proposes some housekeeping
amendments, such as an amendment to Condition C to preserve the original compliance deadline.
Councilmember Ford reviewed the map and noted it appeared that this was in an area of urban
development and wondered if it would be more appropriate to install the needed sewer line. She
confirmed the current zoning and asked if a sewer line is installed in the future if the applicant
would be required to connect to it.
Councilmember Yagong asked if any of the nearby properties had been required to connect to sewer
lines.
Committee Chair Hoffmann discussed how the change in zoning classification would change the
wastewater generated.
Planning Director Leithead Todd stated that the lots have various owners and it is not typical to
request sewer lines to be installed unless there is a large development in the area. Director Leithead
Todd stated that this applicant isn't the first not required to connect to a sewer line and confirmed
the applicant would be required to connect if a sewer line is installed in close proximity in the
future.
