ORDINANCES: for Ordinances.
Bill 205: AMENDS ORDINANCE NO. 05-66, WHICH RECLASSIFIED LANDS FROM
AGRICULTURAL — TWENTY ACRES (A -20a) TO AGRICULTURAL — TEN
ACRES (A -10a) AT KALOKO, NORTH KONA, HAWAII, COVERED BY
TAX MAP KEY: 7-3-027:007
(ADDlicant: Bruce B. A. and Austin K. P. Easlev) (Area: 20.254 acres)
The Leeward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation for
this request for a five-year time extension to comply with Condition D (secure
Final Subdivision Approval), which would allow the applicant to apply to subdivide
the property into two lots of approximately 10 acres in size. The lots are intended
to be used as residential/agricultural lots, with a dwelling on each proposed lot.
The property is located along the west side of Kaloko Drive approximately
4,000 feet mauka from the Haleamau Street-Kaloko Drive intersection.
Reference: Comm. 1153
Intr. by: Ms. Eoff (B/R)
Motion to Approve: Ms. David moved to pass Bill 205 on first reading. Seconded
by Ms. Poindexter.
(Note: At this time, Planning Consultant Greg Mooers,
representing applicant Austin K. P. Easley , came forward to
address the members of the Committee.)
CHR. EOFF: I believe this is pretty straight forward and favorable recom-
mendation from the Planning Commission, so just a little bit of background
would probably just be appropriate. Is the light on?
MR. MOOERS: My name is Greg Mooers. I'm a planning consultant
representing the Easley brothers who own the property. I might note to
Mr. Vicente that they both are native Hawaiian. Anyway, this property was
rezoned contingent to all the conditions that have been applied in the rezonings
for the last three or four decades. And the subdivision was not completed at the
time because one of the conditions required an improvement that the brothers
didn't feel that they could afford to make. Since that time, they've learned there
are alternatives to that condition and they can't proceed at this time. So, we've
asked for the time extension to allow them to complete the subdivision of the
property.
CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Council Members, do you have any questions?
Ms. Lee Loy, yes.

MS. LEE LOY: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mooers, for being here. I normally
ask this of all the applicants that you've read all the conditions of approval, and
you and your client agree to the terms and conditions of approval?
MR. MOOERS: Yes, we've reviewed the recommendations by the Planning
Department and concur with the recommendations.
MS. LEE LOY: Thank you, I yield.
CHR. EOFF: Okay, any other questions Council Members? Seeing none, yes,
I'm familiar with the rezonings in Kaloko, and this is consistent with historical
applicants' conditions.
Okay, all in favor of approving Bill 205 please say "aye."
