COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE : December 7 , 1987 Re: /C-1342
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 . 441,
regarding the rezoning request of Taiyo Hawaii Co . , Ltd . , North Kona ,
Hawaii , TMK : 7-5-10 : 8 & 57 , reports as follows :
Bill No . 441 amends Section 25-87 , Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
28 .7 acres of land from Unplanned to Multiple Family Residential
(RM-4) , Neighborhood Commercial (CN-20 ) and Open (0) .
According to the Planning Department , the applicant plans to
construct 240 duplex units in 120 one-story structures . The
applicant has also incorporated into the project plans , two parks for
passive recreational activities . These parks will be for the
exclusive use of residents within the project . They will be
developed and maintained' by the applicant, successor or its assigns .
The applicant also plans to make land available for a preschool or
day care center .
Bill 441 passed first reading of the Council on December 2, 1987 , and
was recommitted to the Planning Committee on the recommendation of
Committee Chairman Takashi Domingo.
Your Committee discussed several issues involving the proposed
project , such as :
1 . The appropriateness of requiring the developer to
improve Nani Kailua Drive , a public roadway located
outside of the proposed' development, with curbs,
gutters and sidewalks .
2 . The appropriateness of requiring the two
20 ,000 square foot parks , which the developer is
voluntarily providing, to be located and identified by
metes and bounds this early in the development phase .
Your Committee felt that metes and bounds description
will make it difficult to move , even slightly , the
location of the parks , if and when this is necessary .
If the bill defines the park sites by metes and bounds ,
every change in location will require the zoning
ordinance to be amended .

3 . The necessity to include, in the bill, the site of
the proposed private preschool center . The developer
will voluntarily provide the land for a center , if a
preschool operator can be located . Your Committee felt
that the developer should be free to use the proposed
site for other purposes if a center operator cannot be
found .
4 . The need to amend the statement involving the
Unified Impact Fee Ordinance so that it will clearly
offer the developer a choice of: 1 ) satisfying all of
the conditions as set forth in the bill or
2) performing the requirements of the Unified Impact
Fee Ordinance , if such an ordinance is adopted by the
Council .
Your Committee decided to forward the bill to the Council at which
time appropriate and necessary amendments will be introduced .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 441 and recommends that it pass second and final reading .
