REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
•
DATE: October 26 , 1987 Re: Comm . 1310
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. 428 ,
regarding the rezoning request of Ronald Shinno , Lanihuli Street,
Hilo, Hawaii , TMK: 2-2-22 : 13 , reports as follows:
Bill No . 428 amends Section 25-114 , Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
20 ,640 square feet of land from Single Family Residential -
10 ,000 square foot (RS-10 ) to General Commercial - 20 ,000 square foot
(CG-20 ) .
As illustrated in Exhibit A of Bill 428 , several Commercial zoned
properties are located on Lanihuli and neighboring streets .
The applicant plans to demolish an unoccupied single family structure
on the subject property and construct a 2 ,040 square foot , one story
building to house his business . Condition E of the bill requires the
applicant to construct curbs , gutters and sidewalks along the
frontage of the property prior to issuance of an occupancy permit .
Committee Chairman Takashi Domingo recommended to members of the
Committee that Bill 428 be amended to defer the requirement for the
installation of curbs , gutters and sidewalks . He informed the
Committee that this requirement has been deferred for several earlier
rezoning applications . He added that the primary reason for this
action has been the Committee members ' belief that the presence of a
short strip of sidewalk , in an area where sidewalks are not expected ,
may prove to be more of a safety hazard than an improvement .
Your Committee agrees with Chairman Domingo and , as such , has amended
Condition E to defer the requirement for curbs , gutters and sidewalks
until such time as:
1 . either of the adjoining property is rezoned for
commercial use and is required to install curbs ,
gutters and sidewalks, at which time these improvements
shall be installed concurrently with the adjoining
property , or

2 . the County Government authorizes an improvement
district for Lanihuli Street , for the purpose of
installing curbs , gutters and sidewalks whereupon the
applicant shall automatically participate , or
3 . the County Council demands that such improvements
be immediately installed .
The amendment also states that the issuance of an occupancy permit
shall not be subject to a requirement that curbs , gutters and
sidewalks be physically in place .
Your Committee has amended Bill 428 to also include a new section
relating to the proposed Uniform Impact Fees Ordinance . The
amendment reads as follows: "Should the council adopt a Uniform
Impact Fees Ordinance , setting forth criteria for theimposition 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 ."
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No . 428 , Draft 2 , and recommends that it pass first reading.
Note: Underscoring appears in this committee report but will not
appear in the final draft of Bill 428 , Draft 2 ..
