STATE AND COUNTY PLANS
12. State Land Use District: Urban.
13. General Plan LUPAG Map Designation: Industrial.
14. County Zoning: MCX-20.
15. Hilo Community Development Plan: The Hilo Community Development Plan adopted
by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1 on May 21, 1975 identifies the area as RS-10.
16. Special Management Area (SMA): The Special Management Area is a part of the

approximately 0.7 miles from the nearest shoreline and is not situated within the SMA.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
17. Subject Property: The subject property is rectangular in shape and generally level with a
slight slope from east to west. It is currently vacant of any improvements and has been
completely grubbed and graded.
18. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Land uses in the surrounding area are a mix of
commercial, industrial and residential uses. The nearest dwellings are located on the
immediately adjacent properties zoned RS-1 0, to the north and south. Sherwin Williams
Paint Store and Dulux Paints are located on the adjacent properties to the east, which are
zoned MCX-20. Hirayama Brothers Electric is located directly across Kalanikoa Street
on land zoned ML-10.
19. FIRM: Zone"X", an area of minimal flood hazard.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES
20. Access: Access to the subject property is from Kalanikoa Street, a two-lane paved

3-
updated set of calculations prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Hawaii for review and approval as the previous set of demand calculations maybe stale.
Furthermore,the applicant will be required to install a reduced pressure type backflow
prevention assembly, within five (5) feet of the meter on private property.Finally, DWS
indicated that existing 8-inch waterline within Kalanikoa Street is inadequate to provide
the required 2,000 gallons per minute flow for fire protection, as per DWS' Water System
Standards. The applicant resubmitted the water calculations to DWS for review and
approval and suggested to conduct a fire flow test to determine if the fire flow rate is
sufficient to at the property.

C. Time Extension Request (Amendment)
The applicant is seeking an amendment to Condition D of approval under Ordinance 09-
138, to allow a time extension to complete the proposed development. Deleted text is
bro ketod an' ctrcken] and new text is underscored.
1. Condition D Request—Time extension to complete construction.
D. Construction of the proposed development shall be completed within
five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance, as amended. Prior
to construction, the applicant(s), successors or assigns shall secure Final
Plan Approval for the proposed development from the Planning Director in
accordance with Section 25-2-70, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code, Hawaii
County Code. Plans shall identify all existing and/or proposed structures,
paved driveway access, parking stalls and loading zones associated with
the proposed development. Landscaping shall also be indicated on the
plans for the purpose of mitigating any adverse noise or visual impacts to
adjacent properties in accordance with the requirements of Planning
Department Rule No. 17 (Landscaping Requirements), Chapter 25
Zoning Code), Hawai'i County Code.
Reasoning:
1.The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have
been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicants,
successors or assigns, and that are not the result of their fault or
negligence.
The applicant has been working diligently since purchase of the
subject property in 2015 to build the proposed auto repair center.
The lot was cleared and graded (under permit) in 2015 to 2017.
This took longer than anticipated as squatters had made camps on
the property and had to be moved.
The design and engineering of the proposed improvements took
approximately two years with multiple revisions. Initially it appeared
that automatic fire sprinklers would be required, however the
applicant has opted to provide a fire hydrant nearby to support fire
suppression needs.
DWS service to the property was installed in March of 2016.
Business planning and financing of the project proceeded through
2018 and 2019. One financing contingency is the approval of this
time extension request.
Further, Jeffrey Pilor, the owner of J. P. Automotive LLC had
personal hardships including ailing family members and deaths in
the family that took considerable time and energy away from
completing the project on time. The applicant's own summary of the
project timeline is also included (Exhibit F).
2.Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General
Plan or Zoning Code.
The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG)
Map designation for the subject parcel is Industrial. The State Land
Use designation for the property is Urban. These designations
support uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling,
large storage and transportation facilities, and light industrial uses.
The current and requested MCX designation would be consistent
with the Industrial designation of the LUPAG Map for this area of
Hilo. Further, the Waiakea Houselots area is identified in the
General Plan for industrial/commercial mixed uses.
Properties to the east and northeast are similarly zoned MCX-20
and properties to the west and northwest are zoned ML-10 and ML-
20. Though some parcels in the area retain RS-10 zoning, and the
Hilo Community Development Plan suggested retaining residential
uses in the area, the trend of the area is for commercial and
industrial development. As the property is almost directly in the
flight path of the nearby Hilo International Airport, land uses of
commercial and industrial character are appropriate.
Analysis by the Planning Department and Planning Commission
determined that the MCX zoning designation was appropriate for
this parcel. There have been no significant changes to the General
Plan or other relevant land use regulations since the original 2009
change of zone that would affect the requested time extension.
The change of zone was found to be consistent with the General
Plan and State Land Use regulations. All utilities and services are
available to the site. The property had no serious geological,
topographical or flooding related concerns. The proposed use was
determined to not be likely to significantly increase noise or air
pollution in the area. Further the proposed MCX zoning was found
to be in compliance with Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes
Exhibit G)
3. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the change of zone.
In August of 2009 the Windward Planning Commission voted to
recommend the approval of the change of zone of the subject
parcel from RS-10 to an Industrial Commercial Mixed (MCX-20)
district. The original development plans included a 7,800 square-
foot steel building containing warehouse bays and office spaces.
The previous plans were intended to provide the local entrepreneur
with an affordable location for a business establishment or
warehouse storage space.
The current proposed plans would include an auto repair facility of
3,750 square-feet. These plans are substantially similar to those
originally intended and would generate less impact than the
originally planned facility that would have been over twice as large.
Further, the use and trends in the area are similar to what existed in
2009, which were found to be in keeping with the change of zone.
4.The time extension granted shall be for a period not to exceed the
period originally granted for performance (i.e., a condition to be
performed within one year maybe extended for up to one additional
year).
The circumstance of an additional extension of time is addressed
under circumstance 5 below.
5. If the applicant(s) should require an additional extension of time,
the Planning Department shall submit the applicants'request to the
County Council for appropriate action.
This report is submitted in support of the request for time extension
to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the County
Council for appropriate action.

be mitigated by the construction of two new dry wells. Therefore,we approve the subject drainage
plan as it satisfies the requirements of the abovementioned code.
We do not sanction the proposed site plan included within the subject study as it may be subject to
change given specific code and regulatory requirements of the affected agencies. Note,driveways
require a minimum offset of two feet from the property line.

Request: Additional Time to Complete Construction
TMK: (3) 2-2-35:34
Address location: 513 Kalanikoa St, Hilo, Hi . 96720
Property was purchased in March of 2015 with escrow closing June or July of same year,
My life goal was to build and re-locate my business into the future building, but little did I know
even with good and well intentions this build would present a challenge from day one, but I was
determined to achieve my goals. I am currently right at the stage where everything is all
together (permitting already approved with plans in contractors hands) and ready to start
build within approx (90days) pending FHB financing final approval,Zoning for my current
property will unfortunately end November 04, 2019, not allowing enough time to complete
projected construction , your review and consideration into my concern would be greatly
appreciated.
Summary of Progress during Build:
March —July 2015 Clear lot of very overgrown,foliage, and trash left behind by previous owner.
April—August 2015:seek out advise on planning build, size,type of building, etc-talked to
Different contractors : Ivan Mochida Contracting Inc. and Fujiyama Construction, after
discussing my plans to build I realized that I was putting the carriage before the horse by
not having the design and plans already prepared; decided to work with Neil Fujiyama of
Fujiyama Construction who then suggested consulting with Engineering Partner Inc. worked
On plans&design with EPI-Yen Wen Fang P.E.S.E:principal & Keith Kanetani-project mgr.
November 23, 2015 : Fujiyama Construction gave a preliminary estimate proposal; met with
Exhibit F
David Honma from FHB to discuss current status of&stage of project
August 2015-August 2017 worked with Engineering Partners Inc.and Fujiyama Construction to
meet and comply with all County codes and requirements to secure building permits required.
PERMIT# BH2019-80165)
MARCH 09,2016; Dept of Water Supply Installed a water meter and service to property to
Provide water access while continuing to maintain property.
December 05, 2016: applied for grading permit-approved 12/08/16
January—December 2017: perform grading on property to identify location of building.
Feb—June 2018 met with Judy Mellon at Small Business Administration to help me with my
Business plans and projections
November 2018: met again with David Honma (FHB)and my accountant Brian lwata(CPA)to
Update business plans.
Feb 2018 and june 12, 2019 met with: Neil Fujiyama to discuss and pick up updated (amended)
Proposed estimates for FHB due to said rising cost of materials and labor.
Feb 2019: had Neil Fujiyama (Fujiyama Construction) pick up and sign for approved building
Permit from Building Department- clear and set building pins on property
Feb to present: continue to work on business plan and related construction issues- life
insurance and business entity set up with lawyer Alan Okamoto atty.
Personal note: I run my own business with (5) employees full time and in 2017 I lost
Two family members for which I was directly involved with their care Jan - Mar 08,
2017(mother in-law who lived in Kona-would go from Hilo To Kona at least once a week prior to
her death for her needs) and November 27,2017 (Brother died from cancer).
Sincerely, Jeffrey F. Pilor owner J.P.Automotive L.L.C.
Additional notes: December 31, 2019 received a call from David Honma @First Hawaiian Bank
to inform me that my construction loan was approved pending a few additional conditions,
one of which was to perform an appraisal for the completed project including land. FHB sent
out request to various appraisal firms but was told by Don@FHB that there was only(1)one
response to the request It took approx(3) months to finally complete appraisal-received
appraisal at the beginning on March 2020. Appraisal came in lower than expected and created
another hurdle to overcome, I have since been continuing working on completing the process
on securing financing with first Hawaiian Bank with the assistance of David Honma & Don
Kouchi at FHB.

Dear Chairman Yoshimoto and Council Members:
Change of Zone Application (REZ 09-000097)
Applicant: Conrad and Joanne Dakujaku
Request: RS-10 to MCX-20
Tax Map Key: 2-2-35:34
The Windward Planning Commission, after a duly held public hearing on August 7, 2009,voted
to recommend for your approval the proposed legislative bill for a change ofzone from a Single
Family Residential — 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to an Industrial Commercial Mixed—20,000
square feet (MCX-20)district for approximately 22,300 square feet of land. The property is
located along the west side of Kalanikoa Street,approximately 100 feet north of the intersection
of Kalanikoa Street and Hualani Street, Waiakea Housclots, 1st Series, Waiakea, South Hilo,
Hawaii.
The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommendingfavorableconsiderationofthechangeofzone:
The applicants are requesting a change of zone from Single-Family Residential -
10,000 square feet (RS-10) to Industrial-Commercial Mixed - 20,000 square feet (MCX-
20). The applicants' tentative development plans include constructing an approximately
7,500-square foot steel building containing six bays of warehouse storage space and three
units of office space. However, approval of the change of zone request would allow
various light industrial and commercial uses that are permitted on MCX-zoned lands.
The applicants intend to provide the local entrepreneur with an affordable location for a
business establishment or warehouse storage space.
Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

In order to consider an area for any type of zoning designation, the applicable
goals, policies and standards ofthe General Plan must be adequately addressed. It is only
through such a comprehensive policy analysis approach that evaluations and decisions
can be made to better time and stage developments to achieve growth determined by the
General Plan and related planning documents. The implications of these evaluations and
decisions must also be considered as they may have an impact on similar areas in the
County.
The Change of Zone request from a RS-10 to MCX-20 zoned district will
conform to the goals, policies and standards of the General Plan. The General Plan is
intended to be used as a policy guide for the coordinated growth and development of all
sectors of the County. It sets forth goals,policies, standards and courses of action to
accommodate growth without congestion, to designate and preserve the lands needed for
residential use, commercial and visitor services, industry, agriculture and open space, and
to coordinate these uses with the County's service and circulation systems. The overall
goals, policies and standards are set forth to physically plan the lands in the County in the
best interest of the island's residents. Land Use is one of the principal focal points of
public concern and policy. The Land Use Element provides the primary basis for direct
control and guidance of publicly and privately owned resources.
The request conforms to the goals,policies and standards of the General Plan in
that the proposed project will be developed in an area adequately served by necessary
services such as water, sewer, utilities and transportation systems. The proposed project
conforms to the Land Use - Industrial sub-element which states that "Industrial
development shall be located in areas adequately served by transportation, utilities and
other amenities."
The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG)Map component of the General
Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated
growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical
relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban
and non-urban areas within the County. The project area is designated Industrial on the
LUPAG Map. This industrial designation includes uses such as manufacturing and
processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation facilities and light industrial
uses. The MCX zoning would be consistent with the Industrial designation ofthe
LUPAG Map for this area ofHilo. ht fact, the General Plan specifically identifies the
Waiakea Houselots area for industrial/commercial mixed uses.
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council
Page 3
The State Land Use designation and the Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating
for the project site is Urban. The Hilo Community Development Plan(CDP)adopted in
1975 suggests the retention of residential uses in this area. However, this area is
transitioning to commercial and light industrial uses. The benefit of establishing
industrial uses in this area is its close proximity to air transportation terminals, harbor
facilities and the commercial and residential population ofHilo. The proposed change of
zone would complement the existing industrial and commercial land uses that already
exist in this area and will provide for an orderly development of the area.
The MCX zoning designation was created when the Zoning Code was amended in
1996. In accordance with Section 25-5-130, Hawaii County Zoning Code, this district
would allow a mix of light industrial and commercial uses. The purpose of the MCX
industrial-commercial mixed use) district is to allow mixing of some industrial uses with
commercial uses. The intent of this district is to provide for areas of diversified
businesses and employment opportunities by permitting a broad range of uses, without
exposing non-industrial uses to unsafe and unhealthy environments. This district is
intended to promote and maintain a viable mix of light industrial and commercial uses.
Land uses in the immediate area are a mix or commercial,industrial and
residential uses. Immediately adjacent properties to the north and south are zoned RS-10
and in single-family residential use. Commercial and/or industrial uses nearby include
Sherwin Williams Paint Store and Dulux Paints, zoned MCX-20, located directly east of
the property and Hirayama Brothers Electric, zoned ML-10, directly across Kalanikoa
Street to the west. Existing ambient noise includes airport/aviation use at the Hilo
International Airport, nearby industrial and commercial uses, and traffic on Kanoelehua
Avenue and Kalanikoa Street. Development of the property with commercial and/or light
industrial uses should not directly impact air quality or significantly increase noise in the
area, as many of the surrounding properties are already developed with similar uses.
All utilities and services are available to the site. Access to the property is from
Kalanikoa Street which is a County owned and maintained roadway. The Zoning Map
classifies Kalanikoa Street as a collector with an existing right-of-way width of 50 feet
fronting the subject property. The Department of Public Works (DPW)recommends full
improvements to the entire frontage along Kalanikoa Street consisting of, but not limited
to, pavement widening with concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk along with any utility
relocation. This recommendation will be included in the conditions of approval. Countywaterisavailabletothesite. A condition of approval will require the applicants install a
reduce pressure backflow prevention assembly near the existing lateral water meter as
recommended by the Department ofWater Supply. The applicants will connect to the

and Members of the County Council

County's sewer line. Solid waste will be disposed of in the Hilo landfill by tenants or
commercial haulers. Additionally, a Solid Waste Management Plan will be prepared by
the applicants. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site.
The property has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be
rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is located within Zone
X", area determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. According to the applicants,
there are no existing drainage ways on the property. All development generated storm
water runoff will be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or
roadways. Additionally, a condition ofapproval will require the applicants prepare a
drainage study and construct any drainage-related improvements required by the
Department of Public Works.
The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes,
relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is located approximately one mile
from the shoreline,outside of the Special Management Area, and therefore will not be
impacted by coastal hazards or affect beach erosion. Because the property is located in an
urban setting close to existing industrial and commercial uses it does not have scenic
value. In a letter dated March 23,2009 the Department of Land and Natural Resources-
State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD)determined that no historic
properties will be affected by the proposed change of zone because urbanization has
altered the land. According to the applicants, no valued cultural,historical or natural
resources exist on the properties and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary
Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. There is no record of a designated
public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the property. Thus, it is not
anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or
historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights.
Based on the above findings,approval of this change of zone request from a
Single-Family Residential— 10,000 square feet(RS-10) to an Industrial-Commercial
Mixed—20,000 square feet(MCX-20) zoned district would result in an appropriate
land use pattern that will further benefit the general public.
For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Section 25-8-33 (City of Hilo Zone Map), of
the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman
and Members of the County Council

the State of Hawai i and should include the estimated peak now in gallons per minute (GPM) and the
total estimated maximum daily water usage in gallons per clue, including all irrigationtlandscaping use.
Ipon receipt of the water wage calculations above, the Department will make a determination as to
the water commitment deposit amount and prevailing Facilities charge (subject to change) to he paid. if
necessap. Based on the water dentancl calculations.the Department will determine the appropriate
service lateral and meter size required.
the proposed zoning will require the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention
assembly. within live(5) feet of the meter on private property. IF larger or additional meter is
required a backflow prevention assembly will also be required for that meter. The installation of the
backflow prevention assembly must be inspected and approved by the Department herbre the

Aloha Christian,
Please see attached regarding follow up with DWS. We have not received a response to date.
I also spoke with Keith Kanetani of EPI about this and his impression is that the DWS calculations for flow
rate are conservative and may not account for system properties like loops. He believes that an actual fire
flow test may confirm that sufficient flow is possible at the site.
Regardless, I think this wrinkle should underscore the need for the time extension to settle these lingering
issues.
Best,
John Pipan
