Your Committee on Planning,to which was referred Bill No. 231, reports as follows:
Bill No. 231, transmitted by Mayor William P. Kenoi via Communication No. 1000 dated August 11,
2016, amends section 25-8-2(North and South Kona Zone Map), article 8, chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of
the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), by changing the district classification from agricultural-
twenty acres (A-20a) to Agricultural-ten acres (A-10a)at Kaloko,North Kona, Hawaii, covered by Tax
Map Key: 7-3-048:001. The applicant is James Juvik, and the subject parcel covers 21.22 acres. The
applicants have stated that the lots, if subdivided, would be used continuously as residential/agricultural.
The Leeward Planning Commission, at its duly held public hearing on July 21,2016, concurred with the
recommendation by the Planning Director to send a favorable recommendation to the Council.
Ms. Eoff asked James Leonard,the planning consultant for the applicant, to confirm that there are
already two dwellings on the lots and there would be no change to the use of the property. Mr. Leonard
said that is the case. Ms. Eoff said she would be supporting the bill.
Mr. Kanuha said he attended the discussion at the Leeward Planning Commission meeting and agreed it
was a straightforward bill. He also voiced his support.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 231, and recommends
passage on first reading.
