Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 240,
regarding the rezoning request of Lynn Nagata, Waiakea Homesteads,
South Hilo, TMK: 2-4-19:6, reports as follows:
Bill No. 240 amends Section 25-114 (City of Hilo Zone Map ) ,
Article 3, Chapter 25 of the Hawaii County Code, by changing the
district classification of approximately 39,960 square feet of land
from Single Family Residential (RS-15 ) to Single Family Residential
(RS-10) .
The property involved is located on Iwalani Street and is adjacent to
the Hilo Municipal Golf Course. The petitioner plans to subdivide
the property into three lots of 11,474, 11,059 and 17,427 square
feet. A residential dwelling exists on the largest proposed lot.
The petitioner plans to keep the house and lot and sell the remaining
two lots..
The Department of Public Works is recommending denial of this
application for the following reasons :
1 . Each parcel of this application will be eligible for an
•
Ghana Dwelling
2 . Approval of this application could establish a
precedence for future zoning applications involving
lots on Iwalani and Pohakulani Streets .
3. Iwalani and Pohakulani Streets do not have adequate
drainage and pedestrian facilities to support an
increase in density.
The Planning Commission does not appear to share the concerns of the
Department of Public Works. The commission stated that "while the
concerns expressed by the Department of Public Works are legitimate,
even if zoned Single Family Residential - 10,000 square feet (RS-10) ,
the majority of the lots along this section of Iwalani Street
(between Kawailani Street and Hahai Street ) cannot be further
subdivided. "
