The applicants are the owners of the subject property. On September 1, 1998, TMK: 6-4-1: portion of 92 was subdivided and consolidated with TMK: 6-4-1:140 to increase the parcel size from 64,707 square feet to 3.118 acres (135,820 square feet).

The remaining 1.207 acres fronting Mamalahoa Highway designated as TMK: 6-4-1:92 are zoned for neighborhood commercial uses (CN-7.5). The applicants are proposing to create four half-acre residential-agricultural lots using 23,277 squaze feet from parcel # 124 and 64,707 square feet from pazcel # 140. Two access points off Mamalahoa Highway via private roads will accommodate the proposed four lots, one along the western boundazy of parcel #140 and the other abutting the southern boundary of parcel #124. Parcel #]24 is fully improved with two single family dwellings (the second dwelling was constructed via an Ohana Dwelling Permit which was issued by the Planning Director in 1998) and a pasture that will remain and be counted as the first of the four lots. A portion of parcel # 140, a fully fenced vacant pastureland, will be divided into the three remaining lots. The present State Land Use district designation is "Urban" for TMK: 6-4-1:124. Ordinance No. 98-22 designated the eastern portion of TMK: 6-4-1:140 as "Rural", while the remainder is currently designated as "Agricultural".
