111 REPORT OF THE 111
COMMITTEE ON PLANNING
DATE : April 9 , 1985 Re: Comm. 113
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. 39,
regarding the rezoning request of W. H. Shipman, Ltd. , Keaau, Puna ,
TMK: 1-6-143 : 19 , 20 & 22, reports as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to change the district classification of
three parcels totalling approximately 10 .19 acres, from a Limited
Industrial - 20 ,000 square foot (ML-20 ) to a Single Family
Residential - 10 ,000 square foot (RS-10 ) zoned district.
The property is commonly referred to as "Nine Mile Camp" and is
located along both sides of the Old Volcano Road and south of the
Keaau Town Center, Keaau Village. The "Camp" was first established
in the early 1900 ' s. There are a total of 39 dwelling units on the
subject parcels . The conditions of the dwellings range from fair to
very poor .
The petitioner has entered into an agreement with the Nine Mile Camp
Association to sell the property to the association upon receipt of
the zone change. Upon conveyance of the property, the association,
consisting of tenants of the existing dwellings , will subdivide the
property. The tenants have expressed a desire to own their own house
and lot .
Like many old plantation residential camps, many of the houses are
located very close to each other . Therefore, when the association
attempts to subdivide the properties, they will very likely encounter
problems relative to setback between buildings and property lines ,
sizes of the proposed lots, and compliance with minimum roadway
requirements . The association may have no alternative but to seek
administrative variance from these requirements or apply for a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Permit .
The association may also be required to increase the size of
waterlines currently serving 22 houses located on parcel no . 19 .
Currently, the water volume is below peak-flow conditions and these
houses are not provided with adequate fire protection .
PC REPORT NO . 29
ADOPTED : APR 17 1985

PC- 29 Page 2 April 9, 1985
Although future attempts to subdivide the property may encounter
difficulties in meeting subdivision code requirements, the present
change of zone request conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern
Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map which designates the property for Low
Density Urban Development .
The property is being and will continue to be used for residential
purposes. Therefore, the proposed rezoning action will complement
the existing and future residential land use make-up of the property
and surrounding properties .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 39 and recommends that it pass first reading.
