REPORT OF THE 411
COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE : November 9 , 1987 Re: Comm. 1257
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 . 411 ,
regarding the rezoning request of Mr . and Mrs . Marieto dela Cruz ,
Waiakahiula, Puna, Hawaii , TMK: 1-5-03 :portion of parcel 37 , reports
as follows:
Bill No . 411 amends Section 25-107 , Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code , by changing the district classification of
approximately .68 acres of land from Single Family Residential
(RS-10 ) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN-20 ) .
Bill 411 passed first reading of the Council on October 21, 1987 and
was recommitted to the Planning Committee at the recommendation of
Committee Chairman Takashi Domingo . This action was taken to allow
the Planning Department time to recommend development conditions
which should be included in the bill . Development conditions were
omitted from the bill since the Planning Department and Planning
Commission had recommended denial of the application .
Communication No . 1257 .1 is a list of development conditions which
the Planning Department is recommending be included in Bill 411 .
Your Committee agrees with the Planning Department 's proposed list of
conditions , except for item E, which requires the applicant to
install curbs , gutters and sidewalks . As such, Bill 411 has been
amended to include the recommendations of the Planning Department, as
proposed in Communication 1257 .1 , with the exception of item E .
These items are listed in Bill 411 as Conditions A to F.
Your Committee has further amended the bill to include:
1 . Condition G which outlines standard conditions governing
the granting of time extensions and
2 . SECTION 3 . Should the council adopt a Uniform Impact
Fees Ordinance setting forth criteria for the imposition
of exactions or the assessment of impact fees ,
conditions included herein may be satisfied by
performance in accordance with the requirements of the
Uniform Impact Fees Ordinance .

PC- 257 Page 2 November 9 , 1987
Your Committee decided against including the condition that curbs,
gutters and sidewalks be installed along the property line fronting
the existing Kalapana Road, as recommended in item E of Communication
No . 1257 .1 . Your Committee felt that it would be unreasonable to
impose this requirement because:
1 . The subject property is technically an island with no
adjoining developable properties; therefore , there will
probably be no pedestrian traffic .
2 . If the requirement for curbs and sidewalks is meant to
prevent on-street parking or to limit access to the
property, the construction of berms or the imposition of
a planting easement along the property line may just as
adequately serve these purposes .
3 . Tentative plans are to close the old Kalapana Road a
short distance south of the subject property. If this
plan is implemented, Kalapana Road will , in effect ,
become a driveway to the subject property .
Your Committee on Planning is now in full accord with the intent and
purpose of Bill No . 411 , Draft 2 , and recommends that it pass second
and final reading.
Note: Underscoring is used in this committee report only and will
not appear in Draft 2 of Bill 411 .
