ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON
CHANGE OF ZONE CONDITIONS
ORDINANCE NO. 92-85
KONA INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION (KIS) EXPANSION AREA
Submitted to the Hawaii County Planning Department
by Belt Collins Hawaii on Behalf of Liliuokalani Trust
February 10, 1999
Condition (A) The petitioner, successors or assigns shall be responsible for complying
with all of the stated conditions of approval.
Compliance is ongoing.
Condition (8) The property shall be zoned in two increments. The first increment shall
consist of a maximum of 60 contiguous acres, and the second, the remaining area. The
effective date of zoning for the second increment shall be after development has occurred
in the first increment, as determined by the Planning Director. 'Development' means that
building permits have been issued for industrial structures and construction has been
partially completed to the extent that roofs have been constructed on a minimum of 25
percent of the lots proposed for the first increment.
Compliance is ongoing; see Condition (D) below.
Condition (C) The Open zoned areas shall not be included as part of the industrial lots.
Ordinance 92-85 established a linear 2.88-acre area adjoining the makai edge of
Queen Kaahumanu Highway and zoned within the County's Open district.. The
purpose of setting aside this land within the Open district was to safeguard
privately-owned land for the State's future highway widening program. In April
1998, the State Department of Transportation finalized its proposed alignment of
the highway widening and initiated land acquisition in the area, including portions
of the safeguarded area.
The final alignment of the highway widening created a 0.7-acre remnant portion of
Trust land still within the Open district. As the highway widening program had
been finalized and the need to safeguard land was no longer necessary, the Trust
proceeded to submit on May 15, 1998 a "request for determination and
administrative approval of a nonsignificant zone change" for this remnant piece of
land from the Open district to the Limited Industrial (1 a) district, coinciding with the
zoning of adjoining areas. On June 1, 1998, the County of Hawaii Planning
Department approved the administrative reclassification of this 0.7-acre remnant
area.
As a result, the total land area originally included within Ordinance 92-85 no
longer includes any lands zoned within the Open district.
-1-
Condition (D) Subdivision plans for the first increment shall be submitted within one
year from the effective date of this amendment.
The preliminary plat for the first increment was approved on September 28, 1993.
By Hawaii County Planning Department letter dated July 13, 1994, the date for
submission of the final plat map had been set as September 28, 1995. On August
2, 1995, a revised preliminary subdivision map was submitted for review and
approval. Acknowledgment of receipt of the revised map was mailed by the
Planning Department November 7, 1995.
While awaiting the Planning Department's review and approval of this revised map,
the Trust submitted a second revised preliminary plat map on May 21, 1998. On
July 9, 1998, the Planning Department issued a "Revised Tentative Approval" with
modifications and conditions for this second revised map. On December 8, 1998,
the Planning Department further approved amendments to 2 conditions included
in its approval letter, which allow the Trust greater flexibility in phasing
infrastructures for the increment 1 area. The Trust is continuing to actively pursue
development of the increment 1 area.
As noted within the Trust's 1998 update report, the Trust has recently focused its
efforts on completing infrastructure and other requirements for the Makalapua
Center development, mauka of Queen Kaahumanu Highway. Many of the
infrastructure requirements for the Makalapua Center development have been
constructed within the subject area covered by this progress report, and will serve
the eventual subdivision and development of the area. A detailed listing of these
infrastructure improvements were provided in the 1998 update report. The Trust is
continuing to complete its Makalapua Center development in parallel with its
development plans for the increment 1 area.
Condition (E) An overall landscaping master plan, which includes landscaping along
the property's frontages along Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Old Airport Road, a
plant species list, identification of view corridors from within and outside the subdivision,
and a program for the maintenance of the landscaping master plan, shall be submitted to
the Planning Director for review and approval prior to issuance of final subdivision
approval of the first increment.
The Trust will comply.
Condition (F) Channelized intersection improvements shall be provided at the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway meeting with the approval of the State DOT Highways Division.
Only one access shall be permitted from Queen Kaahumanu Highway. The intersection
improvements shall be constructed prior to or as part of the final subdivision approval of
the first increment.
A channelized intersection at the intersection of Makala Boulevard and Queen
Kaahumanu Highway meeting with the approval of the State DOT Highways
Division has been constructed. It provides the only access onto Queen
Kaahumanu Highway from this area.
-2-
Condition (G) Access(es) from the Old Airport Road shall meet with the approval of the
Department of Public Works.
The Trust has and will comply with the condition.
Condition (H) No direct accesses to the lots shall be allowed from the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway and the Old Airport Road.
The Trust will comply with this condition.
Condition (1) All interior roadways shall be constructed in accordance with the
requirements of the Department of Public Works.
The interior roadways (Luhia Street and Makala Boulevard) have been constructed
to meet Condition (H) of the Phase I change of zone ordinance (Ordinance No. 93-
86), and they met with the approval of DPW. Any additional future roadways will
also meet with the requirements of DPW and the modified conditions of the
tentative subdivision approval.
Condition (p A drainage system in accordance with the requirements of the
Department of Public Works shall be installed.
The Trust has complied with this condition and will in the future.
Condition (K) Prior to receipt of final subdivision approval, a Development Design
Manual shall be prepared and submitted to the Planning Department for approval.
The Trust will comply.
Condition (L) The method of sewage disposal shall meet with the approval of the
appropriate government agencies.
The Trust will comply.
Condition (M) An intensive archaeological survey for the property shall be conducted
and the survey report shall be submitted to the Planning Department and State DLNR prior
to receipt of final subdivision approval of the first increment.
This condition has been completed; a report was completed and submitted to the
Planning Department and State DLNR in January 1993.
Condition (N) Should any salvage archaeological work be necessary as a result of
condition (M), work shall be completed prior to anygrading or grubbing activities.
Data collection on sites 00002 (makai trail section) and 18506 has been
completed. Field work was conducted in 1993. The interim protection plan calls
for flagging and/or fencing sites as needed. As approved by the Hawaii Island
Burial Council, site 18511 (burial) has been preserved in place.
-3-
Condition (O) Should any unanticipated sites be uncovered during grading of the
property, work within the affected area shall cease. The Planning Department shall be
notified and work shall not resume within the affected until clearance has been obtained
from the Planning Director.
This language was and will be incorporated into the construction plans and
specifications for work within the area.
Condition (P) All other applicable rules, regulations, and requirements, including those
of the Department of Water Supply, shall be complied with.
Compliance is ongoing.
Condition (Q) Should the council adopt a Unified Impact Fees ordinance...conditions
included herein may, at the developer's election, be satisfied by performance in
accordance with the requirements of the Unified Impact Fees Ordinance.
Not applicable at this time.
Condition (R) An annual progress report shall be submitted to the Planning Director
prior to the anniversary date of the effective date of the change of zone.
The next report will be due February 10, 2000.
Condition (S) An initial extension of time for the performance of conditions within the
ordinance may be granted by the Planning Director upon the following circumstances: 1)
the non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or are
beyond the control of the applicants...and that are not the result of their fault of
negligence; 2) granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the general plan or
zoning code; 3) granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the change of zone; 4) the time extension granted shall be for a
period not to exceed the period originally granted for performance (i.e., a condition to be
performed within one year maybe extended for upon to one additional year); and 5) if the
applicant should require an additional extension of time, the Planning Director may
submit the applicant's request to the County Council for appropriate action. Further,
should any of the conditions not be met or substantially completed within a timely fashion,
the Director shall initiate rezoning of the area to its original or more appropriate
designation.
In compliance; requests for extensions have been submitted when required.
