Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 1, reports as follows:
Bill No. 1, transmitted by Mayor Billy Kenoi, via Communication No. 6, dated
November 20, 2012, amends the State Land Use Boundaries Maps for the County of Hawai`i
by changing the District Classification from the Agricultural to the Rural District at Pu'ukapu
Homesteads 1St, South Kohala, Hawai`i for 1.0046 acres of land covered by Tax Map Key

The Mayor is transmitting the above bill and enclosures, with a favorable recommendation from
the Leeward Planning Commission. The applicant wishes to subdivide the property into two
residential/agricultural lots and convey the new lot to her son.
The applicant was represented by her daughter Keiko Bonk who testified that the property in
question is surrounded by 1/2 acre lots and that this request will be consistent with the rest of the
area. Ms. Bonk also stated that the new parcel will house farm related structures and be used for
farm related activities by her brother who will be expanding currently existing farming
operations occurring on a separate parcel across the street.
Your Committee on Planning is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 1 and
recommends its passage on first reading.
