PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 1-:30 p.m.

Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No . 140
regarding the rezoning request of Wilfred Buddy Soares ,
Olaa Reservation Lots , Puna, Hawaii , TMK: 1-8-5: 96, reports as
follows :
This bill passed first reading on March 5 , 1986 and was referred to
the Planning Committee for further review .
The purpose of this bill is to change the district classification of
a 49 .6-acre parcel from an Agricultural 20-acre (A-20a ) to an
Agricultural 10-acre (A-10a) zoned district .
The property fronts the North Kulani Road and is adjacent to the
Olaa Scenic Lands subdivision. The lots in Olaa Scenic Lands is
zoned Agriculture 5-acre .
The applicant intends to subdivide the property into four lots ,
consisting of three 10-acre parcels and a 19 .6-acre parcel . The
three 10-acre parcels will be conveyed to the applicant 's three
married children while the 19 .6-acre lot will be retained by the
applicant.
All essential utilities and services , with the exception of water ,
are available to the property. Only one 5/8-inch meter will be
available to the subject property due to the insufficient supply of
water in this section of the Puna District . Although a sufficient
volume of water is not available to the property, the
Planning Commission is recommending approval of the application .
The Planning Commission, in accord with its revised water policy,
will recommend approval of a subdivision request if the intent is to
convey the subdivided parcels to certain related individuals , even if
water is not available . However , restrictive deed covenants shall be
imposed allowing conveyance to a third party only if there is either :
a . Water service to the site .
b . A valid commitment for water service .
c . A water catchment system that satisfies any County
standard which may be adopted.
It should be noted that even if the subject rezoning request is
approved, a waterrequirement variance will still be required.

The General Plan designates the property as Intensive Agriculture and
Orchards . The requested Agriculture 10-acre zoning conforms to the
General Plan land use designation for the area . Only a portion of
the property is considered "prime" by the Department of Agriculture ' s
Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii
classification system.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No . 140 and recommends that it pass second reading .
