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 . 588 ,
regarding a request to delete Condition D of Ordinance No . 86-135
(Keith Tom ) , reports as follows :
The purpose of Bill 588 is to amend Section 25-87, Article 3 ,
Chapter 25 of the Hawaii County Code , relating to the deletion of
Condition D of Ordinance No . 86-135 , which reclassified certain lands
from Agricultural (A-20a ) to Agricultural (A-la ) at Kalaoa,
North Kona , identified as Tax Map Key 7-3-04 : 4.
Condition D requires the applicant to widen the pavement and
stabilize the shoulders of the Old Government Mauka Road fronting the
subject property .
Bill 588 was first heard by the Planning Committee on July 11 , 1988 .
The Committee 's recommendation to the Council was that the file on
Bill 588 be closed . However , the Council opted to recommit the bill
for further study .
Your Committee again heard the bill on August 16 , 1988, at which time
Councilman Sherwood Greenwell circulated snapshots of properties in
the vicinity of the subject property, illustrating that individuals
are building houses without being required to improve the
Old Government Mauka Road . Councilman Greenwell therefore
recommended that Condition D be deleted . Rather than act on
Councilman Greenwell 's recommendation, your Committee deferred action
on the bill , pending a report and recommendation from the
Department of Public Works .
Bill 588 was again heard by your Committee on September 26, 1988 . A
report from the Department of Public Works was forwarded to
Committee Chairman Takashi Domingo earlier and is identified as
Communication No . 795 . 2. The department 's conclusion is that "The
existing road is not adequate for use by additional lots . "
A representative of the Department of Public Works gave a summary of
Communication 795 . 2 and also shared with Committee members a large
site map illustrating the roadway , the subject property and
surrounding properties .
PC REPORT NO , 375
ADOPTED : OCT 5 1968

PC- 375 Page 2 September 26 , 1988
Councilman Greenwell again recommended that Condition D be deleted
because other home builders are not being required to improve the
existing roadway.
Councilman Russell Kokubun stated that he agrees with the
Department of Public Works that the roadway should be repaired and
that if Condition D is deleted, the Council will find it very
difficult to require future rezoning applicants to improve the
subject roadway.
Your Committee on Planning is recommending that the file on Bill
No . 588 be closed .
