COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: October 24 , 1988
PLACE : Councilroom
TIME : 1 :30 p.m.
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No . 501,
regarding the rezoning request of Elizabeth McCormick , Kaloko ,
North Kona , Hawaii , TMK : 7-3-24 :35 , reports as follows:
Bill No . 501 amends Section 25-86 , Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
25 .15 acres of land from Agricultural (A-20a ) to Agricultural (A-3a) .
The Planning Commission is recommending denial of Bill 501 while the
Planning Director is recommending approval . The Planning Director
has stated that an Agricultural A-3a zone designation would be more
appropriate than the Agricultural A-la being requested by the
applicant.
Therefore, the Director is initiating a change of zone for the
property from an A-20a to an A-3a zoned district .
The Director stated that the property abuts existing A-3a zoned
lands . Also "Rezoning the subject property to A-la would set a
precedent for the area and would inevitably lead to similar
requests . In previous applications , concerns were expressed
regarding the current infrastructural capacity to accommodate
increased density within the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision. "
Bill 501 was first heard by your Committee at its March 14 , 1988
meeting and deferred to its July 25 , 1988 meeting , at which time
action was taken to close the file on Bill 501 and to defer action on
Bill 501, Draft 2 . Draft 2 of the bill had been distributed earlier
to committee members . Draft 2 included a new Section 3 to include a
statement regarding the pending Unified Impact Fees Ordinance .
Condition E of the bill states , "For the purpose of funding a fully
channelized intersection with turning lanes at the intersection of
Kaloko Drive and Hawaii Belt Road, a payment of $3 ,000 per 3-acre
lot , but not to exceed a total of $24 ,000 , shall be submitted to the
Planning Department for deposit into an escrow account prior to
receipt of final subdivision approval .
Water and other essential utilities and services are available .

purpose of Bill No . 501 , Draft 2 , and recommends that its file be
