RESOLUTION NO. 668 16
A RESOLUTION TO INITIATE THE PROCESS OF RENAMING MA`ILI STREET IN
LEILANI ESTATES TO "MAILE STREET."
WHEREAS, the Planning Department has identified a street in the Leilani Estates
subdivision in the judicial district of Puna as "Will Street"; and
WHEREAS, as a result of County signage and sources such as Google Maps, the street
has been known incorrectly as "Maile Street," causing discrepancies on billing, banking,
identification, mortgage documents, and real estate transactions for those who reside on this
street; and
WHEREAS, real property tax records list 58 parcels on Maili Street, including 32
parcels with residential structures and 13 parcels that list a nonexistent "Maile Street, Pahoa, HI
96778" on their mailing addresses; and
WHEREAS, the president of the Leilani Estates Community Association has stated on
September 20, 2016, that the Planning Department's determination the street is not named Maile
Street"was news to us and has caused a great deal of discomfort for our residents on the street";
and
WHEREAS, the most efficient resolution to this conflict is to rename Ma`ili Street to
Maile Street in Leilani Estates; and
WHEREAS, Eden Roc Estates includes a street lawfully named "Maile Street"; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 14, Article 14, Division 3, Section 14-86 of the Hawaii County
Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended)prohibits two streets in the same judicial district or zip
code from sharing the same name; and
WHEREAS, Eden Roc Estates and Leilani Estates are in the same judicial district; and
WHEREAS, Bill No. 234 proposes to amend the street name criteria by amending
Section 14-86 of the Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended) to allow for two
streets in the same judicial district but with different zip codes to share the same name, thus
allowing the renaming of Ma`ili Street to Maile Street in Leilani Estates; and
WHEREAS, this resolution has no effect on the Maile Street in Eden Roc Estates; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 14, Article 14, Division 3, Section 14-85(b) of the Hawai`i County
Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended) states in relevant part that: "The County council, director,
street owner, or property owner along the street may initiate the naming or renaming of an
existing street. ... When initiated by the County council, the council may direct the director by
resolution. The director will name or rename a street in accordance with the criteria set forth in
this article"; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the
Planning Director is directed to initiate the process of renaming Ma`ili Street in Leilani Estates to
"Maile Street" following enactment of the ordinance proposed in the final draft of Bill No. 234.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Planning Director.
