COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE: October 22, 1985 Re: Comm. 311
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 1:30 p.m.
Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii
Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 88
regarding the rezoning request of Anna Keanaaina , et al . ,
Kalaoa, North Kona, TMK: 7-3-05:9, reports as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to rezone approximately 35 .49 acres of
land from an unplanned (U) to an Agricultural 3-acre (A-3a) zoned
district . The property is located along the makai side of the
Hawaii Belt Road adjacent to Kona Acres subdivision.
According to the Planning Department, Norman Keanaaina submitted a
similar rezoning request for the subject property in 1982. The
request was denied by the Planning Director on May 10 , 1983 , due to
the lack of water .
Mr . Keanaaina subsequently filed an appeal; however , the appeal was
withdrawn in January 1984, at the request of Mr . Keanaaina .
The present petitioners intend to subdivide the property into
ten lots , with each lot containing a minimum of three acres . The
ten lots will be distributed among the ten legal heirs to the
property.
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 current water situation
in Kona .
In reference to the application, the Department of Water Supply
stated that "Since this is for division among family members only
with no intention of building immediately, we have no objections for
this rezoning to be approved. "
The Planning Department has stated that it has also "reconsidered its
water policy relative to rezoning and subdivision requests . On a
case-by-case basis , proposals which are submitted in order to divide
land among related individuals (such as parents and their children or
amongst siblings ) may now be considered for approval . As a condition
of approval , however , restrictive deed covenants shall be imposed
allowing conveyance to a third party only if there is either: a) a
valid commitment for water service, (b) water service to the site , or
c) . a water catchment system that satisfies any County standards which
may be adopted for such a system. "

It should be noted, however , that even if the subject rezoning
request is approved, the applicant will still be required to secure a
variance from the subdivision code 's water requirement .
The General Plan designates the property as Extensive Agricultural
and Alternate Urban Expansion (AUE) . The requested rezoning conforms
to the General Plan land use designation for the area. The
Kona Regional Plan designates the property as
Residential-Agricultural , 2 to 3 acres .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No . 88 and recommends that it pass first reading .
