disposition of smaller remnant parcels.
SECTION 2. Chapter 2, Article 19, Section 2-118, of the Hawaii County Code, 1995
Edition, is amended to read as follows:
"Section 2-118. Remnants.
(a) No parcel shall be disposed of as a remnant solely for the reason that it lacks an
adequate access.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article. [R] remnants or portions
thereof may be disposed of without recourse to public auction in the manner set
forth herein. Any remnant or portion thereof to be disposed of shall be first
offered for sale to the abutting owner for a reasonable period of time at a
reasonable price based on appraised value[.], provided in cases involving parcels
of less than 2,500 square feet, the finance director may establish a price which is
based on the square foot value used for determining real property tax valuations
of the abutting owner(s). The director shall take into consideration the limited
R
market for the remnant proposed use and/or the resulting enhancement to an
abutting owner's property by the addition of the remnant as outlined in (c). For
those parcel(s)utilizing the square foot value of the real property tax valuation
process, the final disposition shall be approved by resolution of the County
Council. If there is more than one abutting owner who is interested in purchasing
the remnant, the remnant may be subdivided and a portion thereof sold to each
abutting owner at the appraised or established value.
(4 Except for those parcel(s)whose values are determined by similar square foot
values utilized by the real property tax office, [T] the value of the remnant or
portion thereof shall be appraised by an independent appraiser, which appraisal
shall take into consideration the limited market for the remnant proposed use
and/or the resulting enhancement to an abutting owner's property by the addition
of the remnant.
In any case, disposition costs including but not limited to appraisal, survey work,
preparation of environmental assessments and preparation and recordation of
documents may be added to the established sale price. However, should the
interested party be willing, the County may allow the buyer to provide for the
appraisal, survey work and preparation of environmental assessment at buyer's
expense."
