Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Chairman Arakaki and Members: Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92-51 (REZ 711) Applicant: Waiakea Development Request: Amendment to Condition C, E, F & H Tax Map Key: 2-4-37:36 (formerly 2-4-37:Portion of 161 The Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on November 20, 1998, voted to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill to amend Conditions C, E, F and H of Ordinance No. 92-51, which changed the district classification from Agricultural (A-3a) to Single Family Residential (RS-10) for approximately 10.023 acres of land. The amendment to the conditions relates to subdivision, roadway and drainage improvements, and housing requirements. The property is located on the east side of Kupulau Road approximately 410 feet north of its intersection with Ainaola Drive, Waiakea Homesteads, South Hilo, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the request: The applicants are requesting deferral of these conditions due to present economic conditions, and have revised their original plans from developing a 32-lot to a 3-lot subdivision on Kupulau Road in South Hilo. The original request to change the district zoning designation for the subject property was approved by the County Council effective May 27, 1992. The applicant originally submitted their subdivision plans in 1992 fora 32-lot subdivision and secured tentative subdivision approval on July 15, 1994. To minimize roadway Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 development within the Flood Zone "AH," revised plans were submitted fora 31-lot subdivision in 1993. Due to economic conditions, subsequent revisions led to the submittal of a revised plan fora 3-lot subdivision that received revised tentative approval on July 30, 1998. The applicant is requesting an aznendment to Condition C, which requires that Final Subdivision Approval be secured within two yeazs from the date of receipt of tentative subdivision approval. Revised tentative subdivision approval for the 3-lot subdivision was secured on January 12, 1998. According to Ordinance No. 92-51, the applicant would be required to secure Final Subdivision Approval by July 30, 2000, which is a little over a yeaz and a half away. The applicant is requesting an additional 5 years to secure Final Subdivision Approval. The applicant is also requesting an amendment to Condition E, which requires that a minimum 20-foot wide pavement with 3-foot wide shoulders be provided along Kupulau Street to Ainaola Drive. These improvements were imposed for the development of a 32-lot subdivision. As the applicant is proposing a 3-lot subdivision, the applicant's request for deferral is considered as being reasonable. The requirement to improve Kupulau Road beyond the subject property frontage to Ainaola Drive is deleted as in all fairness, it is beyond the applicant's responsibility to make such improvements. With present wording, the applicant would be required to widen and resurface approximately 380 feet from the property boundazy to Ainaola Drive. As stated in the revised wording for Condition E, the applicant shall, however, be required to improve the entire property frontage along Kupulau Road upon any further subdivision of the property beyond the proposed 3-lot subdivision in accordance with the Department of Public Works requirements. Condition F requires that the applicant shall provide drainage improvements as may be required by, and meeting with the approval of, the Department of Public Works. The applicant's request for deferral is also seen as reasonable as the proposed 3-lot subdivision would not require interior roadways and development that would possibly impact drainageways. Wording in Condition F shall remain the same, as the applicant would still be required to meet applicable drainage requirements for the 3-lot subdivision. Condition H requires that the applicant shall formulate a housing plan for the development prior to securing Final Subdivision Approval. This condition shall be amended to reflect present day wording on Affordable Housing requirements, which would not be applicable to the proposed 3-lot subdivision since affordable housing Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 3 requirements are not applicable for less than 9 lots. Again, further subdivision may trigger the affordable housing requirements. Finally, according to the Department of Public Works comments, to minimize any future impacts to Kupulau Road, they will allow only one access point onto Kupulau Road even though there is a proposal for 3 lots. In addition, a road reserve or subdivided right-of-way shall be provided from the new stubout at the Waiakea Heights Subdivision to Kupulau Road. The applicant would be required to comply with these Department of Public Works requirements, as they would fall under compliance with Condition D. Based on the above request, it is determined that the applicant's request is reasonable as present economic conditions could not have been foreseen and are beyond the control of the applicants. Granting of the amendments would also not be contrary to the General Plan, Zoning Code or the original reasons for approving the request. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 92-51, which reclassified lands from Agricultural (A-3a) to Residential (RS-10) at Waiakea, South Hilo, is transmitted. We are enclosing a copy of the application and a copy of the staff background for your information. Sincerely, ~ Kevin M.

Request: The applicants are requesting amendments to Condition C, E, F and H of Ordinance No. 92-51 with the reasons that present economic conditions make it impossible to create a viable 31-lot subdivision project as originally planned. The applicants now are proposing to subdivide the parcel into 3 lots. Based on the reduced size of the development from the origina132-lot to a 3-lot subdivision, the applicants are requesting additional time to secure Final Subdivision Approval (Condition C); deferral of roadway and drainage improvements to Kupulau Road (Condition E and F); and deferral of a housing plan for the development (Condition H). 7.

I am requesting for a deferral of the road widening, (Condition E> drainage (Condition F> and housing plan requirements (Condition H) until prior to final approval of any subsequent proposal for further subdividing. The present economic conditions make it virtually impossible to create a viable 31-lot subdivision project ae originally planned. We have, therefore, submitted for an alternate S- lot subdivision so that parcels could be deeded to partners separately. The expectation is that 2 of the 3 lots will have a single family dwelling only, with one of those being accessed by the adjoining subdivision below. Until plans are made for the approximately 5 acre parcel, there would essentially be no additional traffic flow. We would, also, -ask the Department of Water to eliminate the fire hydrant requirement at this time. Your consideration of this request is aggressively pursued due to the devastated state of the economy and the financial loss already sustained.

' County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni S't. Rm. 109 6~ Hilo, HI 96720-4252 Re: TMK: 2-4-37-36 Dear Me. Goldstein, In reference to your letter dated August 17, 1998, I hereby submit a formal letter of request to amend Change of Zone Ordnance 92-51 (REZ 711), specifically, Conditions E, F and H. I am requesting for a deferral of the road widening, (Condition E> drainage (Condition F> and housing plan requirements (Condition H) until prior to final approval of any subsequent proposal for further subdividing. The present economic conditions make it virtually impossible to create a viable 31-lot subdivision protect ae originally planned. We have, therefore, submitted for an alternate S- lot subdivision so that parcels could be deeded to partners separately. The expectation is that 2 of the 3 lots will have a single family dwelling only, with one of those being accessed by the adjoining subdivision below. Until plans are made for the approximately 5 acre parcel, there would essentially be no additional traffic flow. We would, also, ask the Department of Water to eliminate the Eire hydrant requirement at this time. Your consideration of this request is aggressively pursued due to the devastated state of the economy and the Financial loss already sustained.
