411 REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: July 8, 1986 Re: Comm. 646
PLACE: Pahala Elem. & Kau High Sch. Cafeteria
TIME: 11: 40 a.m.
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 206,
regarding the rezoning request of Donald Kendall/Estate of Louis R.
Cholet, Puna, Hawaii , TMK: 1-4-83:20, reports as follows:
Bill No. 206 amends Section 25-103, Article 3 , Chapter 25 of the
Hawaii County Code, by changing the district classification of
approximately 49,714 square feet of land from Open (0) to an
PA Y
Agricultural 1-acre (A-la) .
The subject property is located in the Nanawale Estates Subdivision.
The applicants are in the process of transferring the property to a
buyer who plans to construct a single family dwelling on the
property. Single family dwellings are not permitted within the Open
(0) zoned district; therefore, a change of zone is being sought.
The General Plan designates the property as Orchards . The State Land
Use district classification is Agricultural.. The property was zoned
Open on December 20, 1967 when the Zoning Map for the Puna District
were initially adopted.
There is no public water system serving the subject area. Roof
catchment systems are used as a means of providing water . According
to the Planning Commission, "while a public water system is not
available to the property, since the lot already exists and cannot be
further subdivided under the present State Land Use Agricultural
District and proposed A-la zoning, the granting of this particular
request will not be contrary to the current water policy for
reviewing rezoning requests. "

PC- 131 Page 2 July 8, 1986
Your Committee on Planning heard testimony from Mr . Steven Lim,
attorney for the applicant, who requested that Condition B of the
bill be deleted. Condition B requires the applicant to construct a
single family dwelling within three years from the date of rezoning.
Planning Director Albert Lyman stated that the requested amendment is
not necessary because Condition C grants to the Director the
authority to administratively grant time extensions to this condition.
Mr . Lim stated, however , that his client would prefer to have the
building condition deleted. He explained that the applicant is not
requesting a zoning change to a designation that would be higher than
those of surrounding properties. Your Committee agrees with
Councilman Schutte that the applicant 's request is not at all
unreasonable.
As such, Bill No. 206 has been amended to delete the building
requirement .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 206, as amended, and recommends that it pass first
reading.
