residential, with ancillary community and public uses, and neighborhood and convenience -
type commercial uses.
13. County Zoning: Single -Family Residential -20,000 square feet (RS -20).
14. Kona Community Development Plan: The Kona CDP, adopted by the Hawai`i County
Council on September 25, 2008, identifies the property as situated within the "Kona Urban

15. Special Management Area: The property is not within the County's Special Management
Area (SMA) and is located approximately 4.5 miles from the nearest shoreline.
DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA
16. Subject Property: The project site is located west (makai) of the Mamalahoa Highway
and about 1,000 feet north of Kaiminani Drive. There are two (2) existing single-family
dwellings and a workshop/storage building located within the project site. The remainder
of the project site is vacant and was previously utilized for pasture. Slopes within the
project site range between 6 and 20 percent. According to County records, the following
building permits (BP) have been issued for the subject property:
BP No. 015342: Issued to convert an existing dwelling to a workshop/storage. The
Department of Public Works Building Division granted a final inspection on March

property is the Kona Palisades Subdivision. These subdivisions are situated within the State
Land Use Urban District and are primarily zoned Agricultural (A -5a) by the County.
However, these subdivisions are essentially non -conforming residential sized lots ranging
between 8,000 to 20,000 square feet. These subdivisions and surrounding areas are
characterized by a mix of single-family residences, agricultural uses and vacant lands.
Across the Hawai`i Belt Road to the east are properties zoned A -20a and A -3a, which
consist of scattered farm dwellings and vacant land.
18. Flood Zone: The property is classified as Zone "X", (Area of Minimal Flood Hazard)
according to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Mapping system.
19. Flora/Fauna Resources: As the project site has been grubbed, improved with a dwelling,
the likelihood of any rare or endangered flora or fauna is remote. Existing fauna on the
property currently include ornamental vegetation with some fruit bearing trees and edible
plants such as lemon, lime, papaya and pineapple. The applicant is unaware of the existence
of any rare or endangered flora or faun on the subject property.
20. Archaeological/Historical Resources: The Department of Land and Natural Resources —
State Historic Preservation Division issued a "no -effect letter received on December 6,
2001 stating that residential development/urbanization and previous grubbing/grading has
altered the land.
21. Cultural or Native Gathering Rights: According to the applicant's previous
representation, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the project site
and no gathering has been observed. The property is not adjacent and/or proximate to the
shoreline. As such, gathering of marine life, fishing and coastal access is not an issue. The
subject property has been extensively graded and developed for residential purposes.
22. Public Access: There is no public access to the mountains or the shoreline that runs through
the property.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES
23. Access: The subject parcel currently has two driveway accesses, one from Mamalahoa
Highway which is a State owned and maintained highway and another from Leimomi
Street which is a County owned roadway that is not maintained. According to the
applicant, they have been diligently working on improving the Leimoni Street driveway
access by paving the driveway to the meet the standards set forth by the Department of
Public Works -Engineering Division. The State Department of Transportation currently
requires that the applicant widen the existing Mamalahoa Highway driveway access to
meet the current standard requirements for driveways within the highway right-of-way.
According to the applicant, traffic impacts are not anticipated to be significant as most
visitors will tend to avoid peak traffic times.
24. Water: According to the Department of Water Supply, County water is provided to the
existing single-family dwelling via a 5/8 -inch meter, which shall not exceed an average
daily water usage of 400 gallons, from a waterline located on Hawai`i Belt Road. The
Department of Water Supply recommends installation of a reduced pressure type
backflow prevention assembly for the existing water meter.
25. Wastewater: According to the applicant, the subject dwelling is connected to a septic tank.
26. Essential Utilities and Services: Electrical and telephone services are available to the
subject property. The nearest police station is located at Kealakehe, approximately five

Exhibit 1
USE PERMIT APPLICATION
ELLEN GARVER KOIZUMI
KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII, TMK: 7-3-005:030
I. JNTRODUCTION.
I, Ellen Garver Koizumi, live and own a property situated at 73-4270 Mamalahoa
Highway. I wish to operate a 2 -room bed and breakfast ("B&B") out of my home.
As the subject site is zoned single-family residential (RS -20), a Use Permit is
required from the Hawaii County Planning Commission. This report is intended to
supplement the Use Permit application requirements.
II. PROJECT LOCATION
The subject site, consisting of 3.147 acres, and identified by TMK: 7-3-005:030,
is located along the west or ocean side of Mamalahoa Highway, about 500 feet
south of its intersection with Ahikawa Street. (Figures 1 and 2)
There is a 2 -story single-family dwelling, which is intended to be used for the
B&B on the subject site (Figure 3). While the immediate character of this area is
residential in nature, there are commercial and commercial -related uses in the
immediate vicinity, particularly in close proximity to subject site and along the
east side of Mamalahoa Highway. Some of these include a dog boarding
business, and Matsuyama Store.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Objective
As noted earlier, I own and live in the dwelling. Because the 2 -story dwelling has
3 bedrooms, it is too large for me. I would like to operate a maximum 2 -room
B&B to supplement my income and enjoy the company of my guests (Figures 4).
Given the residential ambience of this area plus the site's proximity to the Kona
International Airport and various tourist attractions, I believe that the site would
be suitable for such use.
1
Section 25-5-3 (b)(1) of the Zoning Code allows the requested use in this zone,
subject to the issuance of a Use Permit. Thus, this request would be a
conditionally permitted use.
In the process of developing and/or operating the B&B, all applicable land use
and development codes would be complied with.
In that regard, please note the following regarding the B&B standard, as outlined
in Section 25-4.7 of the Zoning Code.
A. The B&B would be subordinate to the principal use as a residence by the
owner. Its continued use as a residence would not be detrimental to the
character of the surrounding area. Aside from the pending approval of
subdivision of the property from a single, 3.17- acre plot to six separate,
0.5 -acre lots, there are no structural improvements being contemplated
that would alter the appearance of the residence.
B. The operator - which is the applicant - will reside in the dwelling where the
B&B is being conducted.
C. There will be no more than 2 rentable rooms, with the maximum number
of guests at any point in time being capped at 10.
D. Guests will be provided only breakfast meals.
E. An on-site parking area to accommodate a minimum of 5 vehicles will be
provided. The parking will be on existing concrete paving. Additional
parking will be available if needed on graveled or grassed ground where
there will be little or no mud or standing water.
F. Any sign erected on the subject site will comply with the applicable sign
requirements for a residential zone.
Project Comoonents
Pursuant to the above objectives, I would like to utilize my dwelling for a B&B
operation. I am seeking the opportunity to use a maximum of 2 bedrooms as
guest rooms (Figure 4). Access to the project site would be from Mamalahoa
Highway. Parking to accommodate at least 5 cars will be provided on the
property. The parking will be situated on existing concrete paving surrounding the
dwelling. More parking, if needed can be accommodated on the west side of the
dwelling (Figure 3).
2
Timetable and Cost
I hope to operate immediately upon issuance of the Use Permit, provided it is in
conformance with state and county quarantine policies at that time. No
improvements are needed.
IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. Proposed Use
I am proposing the use of my primary dwelling (Figures 4) as a Bed and
Breakfast operation. The reason for this request is because my dwelling
has become too large for my sole use following the departure of my
immediate family in recent years. I wish to supplement my income by
operating a B&B and enjoying the company of my guests.
The proposed hours of operation are as follows: check-in time for guests
will be limited between the hours of 3:00PM and 8:00PM. Check-out time
will be at 11:00AM. The number of employees will be myself and one
casual hire employee to assist with routine cleaning. The number of
clientele or guests will be no more than 10 at any given time.
B. Description of Subiect Property
The subject site, consisting of 3.147 acres, and identified by TMK:
7-3-005:030, is located along the west or ocean side of Mamalahoa
Highway, about 500 feet south of its intersection with Ahikawa Street.
Figures 1 and 2)
There is a storage unit, a 2 -story single-family dwelling, and a 1 -story
single-family dwelling on the subject property. The 2 -story single-family
dwelling is the building which is intended to be used for the B&B on the
subject site (Figure 3). The property is currently pending approval of
subdivision from one, 3.147 -acre plot to 6, approximately 0.5 -acre plots
subject to improvement of Leimomi Road.
My daughter and her family will continue to reside in the 1 -story
single-family dwelling, and are not included as applicants for this Use
Permit.
3
C. State/ County Plans Affecting.Subject Request
The State Land Use designation of the subject property is Urban. As such,
no action by the State Land Use Commission is required for this action.
County Zoning for the property is RS -10. The property is within the area
covered by the Kona CDP. (Figures 1 and 2)
In the area of the proposed project, the County General Plan Land Use
Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map is Low Density Urban. No
amendment to the General Plan is necessary to effectuate this proposal.
The property is not within the Special Management Area (SMA).
D. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses
The County zoning of the subject site is Single-family Residential (RS -20).
While the immediate character of this area is residential in nature, there
are commercial and commercial -related uses in the immediate vicinity,
particularly in close proximity to subject site and along the east side of
Mamalahoa Highway. Some of these include a dog boarding business,
and Matsuyama Store. Additionally, there are some "non-confomring" A-5
lots that are to the north and south, along with larger agricultural lots
across the Highway zoned A -20a and A -3a. (Figures 1 and 2)
E. Flood Insurance Rate Mao (FIRM) Designation
The FIRM designation for subject property is X. In other words, it is not
included in the flood zone.
F. Archaeological Resources
In a previous change of zoning for the subject property, a no -effect letter
was received from the Department of Land and Natural Resources -State
Historic Preservation Division dated December 6, 2001, which stated that
residential development/urbanization and previous grading and grubbing
has altered the land. (Attach 1)
G. Floral and Faunal Resources
None of the vegetation on this site are known to be on the endangered
plant species list. Most commonly found vegetation is ornamental, with
some fruit -bearing trees and edible plants commonly found among
residential properties in Hawaii, such as lemon, lime, papaya, pineapple,
4
etc. Because of the lack of native ecosystems and threatened or
endangered plant species, it is unlikely that there would be any adverse
impacts to botanical resources as a result of the B&B use.
In terms of the faunal environment, there are sightings of Hawaiian Hawks
and on rare occasions, Hawaiian Owls observed on or near the subject
property. However, there are no known nests near or on property, and
sightings of these species are transient in nature.
H. Access to Subject Property
Subject property is accessed via a private driveway situated on owner
applicant's property which connects directly to Mamalahoa Highway. The
driveway is paved with concrete, and it is approximately 15 feet in width.
There are several areas that widen to allow for two passenger cars
travelling in opposite directions to comfortably pass each other. (Figure 3)
I. Traffic Impacts
The traffic impact of operating a Bed and Breakfast would decrease the
amount of traffic to and from this property when compared to the impact of
renting the property for residential use. Multiple residents would increase
the access to and from the property significantly on a daily basis,
especially during peak commute times. Conversely, Bed and Breakfast
guests would access the property less frequently. When fully occupied, the
Bed and Breakfast should generate at least 10 movements during the
course of a day. Most visitors tend to avoid peak traffic times, and will
likely be gone during most of the day, returning only to sleep. For these
reasons, it is anticipated that the proposed use will not adversely impact
traffic.
J. Availability of Utilities
County water, digital phone service, commercial power, and County code
compliant septic tanks are in use on subject property.
5
V. ADHERENCE TO STANDARDS
A. Zoning Code and County General Plan
The basic intent and purpose of the Zoning Code (Chapter 25) of the
County of Hawaii requires the Code to be "applied and administered within
the framework of the general plan...." It also regulates density, land uses,
and design and building standards within the various zoning districts.
As discussed earlier, it is my full intent to comply with all applicable
standards or a Bed and Breakfast as outlined in the Zoning Code. Further,
no variance from the Zoning structural standards is being contemplated at
this time.
Relative to the general purpose of zoning district, the subject site is zoned
Single-family residential (RS -20). Section 25-5-1 of the Zoning Code notes
that the purpose of this district is to provide for "lower or low and medium
density residential use, for urban and suburban family life. It applies to
areas having facilities, and to carry out the above stated purpose".
The proposed Bed and Breakfast, by its nature, seeks the same ambiance
as residential projects. To a large extent, it prefers a quiet and calm
environment. In the absence of any guests, the Bed and Breakfast will
continue to be used as owner -applicant's residence. Its use, therefore, will
be not much different than "empty nesters" with a large family whose
children periodically come home.
It should be added that the requested Bed and Breakfast use is not a use
that requires a zone change. It is already considered "conditionally
permitted", except that the process requires a Use Permit to allow
neighbors and the community to weigh in on the proposed use.
The requested uses would be consistent with the policies and objectives
of the General Plan. The County General Plan LUPAG map designates
the subject property and Low Density Urban. As such, the requested use
would be consistent with the purpose of this designation, and no General
Plan amendment is necessary.
6
Lastly, the requested use of a Bed and Breakfast operation would not be
contrary to the goals and policies of the Kona Community Development
Plan.
B. Impacts to Public Agencies
The proposed Bed and Breakfast is located in an area where the basic
infrastructure is already available. Its use will not result in having
government extend its services.
Its use would still be consistent with the existing character of the
surrounding residential use. Like residential communities, the Bed and
Breakfast prefers a tranquil environment.
At the same time, there would be some measure of economic benefits to
the surrounding area, as guests of the Bed and Breakfast will frequent
local and nearby communities for shopping and dining.
C. Impacts to Public Welfare
The Bed and Breakfast should not cause any significant adverse impact to
the public welfare, community's character, and surrounding properties.
The required infrastructure to and within the project site is already
available. Being within an urban environment, this area is already being
serviced by other public services, particularly police and fire. Accordingly,
there should be no significantly adverse impact to the public welfare.
While the project will generate some traffic, the primary access from
Mamalahoa Highway is already adequate. In addition to the traffic
occurring during the non -peak AM/PM hours, unlike a retail operation,
traffic is not anticipated to be continuous.
The nearest dwelling from the proposed Bed and Breakfast site is
approximately 200 feet away, with fencing and heavy vegetation between
it and the subject property. The next closest dwelling is approximately 350
feet away, with fencing and vegetation between it and subject property.

Hi Tracie -Lee,
I just spoke to Ellen Garver and explained that our comments are based on the information provided in the application
that was provided to use for review and comment.
If the development will only be using the interior road as the access and not the driveway on Mamalahoa Highway Route
190 we would want some assurance that this would be the case.
If the development wants to bring the driveway on Mamalahoa Highway up to current standards, we would require that
the work within the highway right of way be done as this is the limit of our jurisdiction. I also informed her that in order
to have the work done she would need to have a Hawaii licensed civil engineer and surveyor to prepare plans for our
review and approval. Once the plans are approved she can have a contractor apply for the permit and do the work.
Generally we would want all work done prior to any approval. We understand that there are some cases where time is
of the essence and conditional approvals may be warranted. If this is the case we would ask for regular updates of
progress and a commitment to making the improvements along with some consequential conditions for failing to
comply.
Thanks,
Clinton

Subject: [EXTERNAL) PS 2021-028 - Koizumi Bed and Breakfast Use Permit (TMK: (3)7-3-005:030)
Good Afternoon Clinton and Julann,
I just got off the phone with Jeyan in the Honolulu office who told me that I should contact the Hawaii DOT
office for verification on a comment letter that the Planning Department received for a Use Permit application
for a Bed and Breakfast for Ms. Ellen Koizumi (TMK: (3) 7-3-005:030). In the comment letter from DOT dated
March 12, 2021, DOT is requesting that the current 15 -foot wide driveway for the subject property off of
Mamalahoa Highway be increased to a 22 -foot wide driveway with 6 -foot shoulders. And I just need to verify
if DOT would like to have the applicant bring the current driveway up to current standards prior to the
commencement of the Bed and Breakfast? The applicant has had an open (and ongoing) subdivision
application with the Planning Department since 2004 and I am currently reviewing possible conditions for the
Use Permit so your guidance on this driveway requirement will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Dear Ms. Camero,
I have reviewed the comments from the following agencies: State Department of Transportation,
Department of Water Supply, and State Department of Health.
My responses are as follow:
State Department of Transportation
I would like to request a change in the proposed access to the property. Currently, the Use Permit
application lists access to be via my private driveway directly from highway 190. Until I am able to
secure the necessary funds to meet the state standards for a highway right-of-way, I would
propose to have B&B guests access the property via Leimomi Road which has just been approved
for satisfactory improvements per Hawaii County Department of Engineering specifications. As
such, I request the proposed access via highway 190 he put on hold at this time.
Department of Water Supply
A reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly will be installed within 5 feet of the
existing meter per Department requirement.
State Department of Health
A limited menu will be forwarded to the Department of Health. No potentially hazardous foods
will be provided at the proposed B&B. Per Department guidelines, guests will be informed that
foods served are not regulated and inspected by the Department of Health.
