APPLICANT: AMY HAGEN-COWELL TRUST (PL-REZ-2022-000019) Application for a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-1 acre (A-la) to a Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10) zoning designation for 6.875 acres of land. The subject property is located on the east(mauka) side of the Hawaii Belt Road (Highway 11) at its intersection with Alii Drive and Nap6`opo`o Road, Ka`awaloa(Mauka), South Kona, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 8-1-008:004. VITOUSEK: Okay, we are going to take the agenda items out of order; item 3 and 4 will be up because we've got a commissioner who may be leaving, and so we've got to, that's we don't lose quorum. I will be recusing myself from agenda items 3 and 4 since it's a property immediately adjacent to me. So I'm out, and Vice Chair DeFranco will be taking over. 1 EXHIBIT E DEFRANCO: Aloha. Okay, so we are moving on now to item 3 and 4, the applicant, Amy Hagen-Cowell Trustoh, sorry, not close enough—okay, agenda item number 3, Applicant Amy Hagen-Cowell Trust, application for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 6.875 acres of land. The subject property is located on the east, mauka, side of the Hawaii Belt Road, Highway 11, at the intersection of Alii Drive and Napb'opo`o Road, Ka`awaloa, Mauka, South Kona, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 8-1-008:004. So, we are going to—is there any public testimony for—Mike Matsukawa? Is he here? Is there anybody from Hilo? KEKAL They are going to do the presentation first. DEFRANCO: Oh, okay, so we don't do the public testimony first. So we are going to have, great, okay, so we have a staff presentation by Jessica Andrews. ANDREWS: Thank you. So this is the application for Amy Hagen-Cowell Trust. It's a State Land Use Boundary Amendment application and a Change of Zone application. The location map shows the subject property in red, it's a small red dot there,just mauka of Mamalahoa Highway near Kealakekua Bay and south of Kailua-Kona town. The applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 6.875 acres of land and a Change of Zone from Aricultural-1 Acre, A-la, to Single-Family Residential 10,000 square feet, or RS-10, zoning for 6.875 acres of land. The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel into 15 lots, consisting of a minimum of 14,000-square foot each. The applicant is also proposing to construct a new County-dedicable standard road to service the proposed subdivision from Hawaii Belt Road, or Mamalahoa Highway, to the north, mauka, of the intersection with Alii Drive. Additionally, the applicant proposes to construct a 12-foot- wide paved outbound access road within a 20-foot-wide easement to access Hawaii Belt Road from the southern end of the subject property. Accordingsorry, that's blocked there but, according to the applicant, the proposed Change of Zone and subdivision is intended to help address the market housing needs of the community. While this is not an affordable housing project, the applicant will be required to comply with the County's housing code related to affordable housing. According to the applicant, a subdivision application would be filed immediately after the granting of the Change of Zone and State Land Use Boundary Amendment requests. The applicant anticipates having the property subdivided by the beginning of 2023, and the estimated cost of the project to be around 2 million dollars. This is the County Zoning Map showing the subject property outlined in red right there in the middle of the screen. You can see the property is currently zoned A-la, which is Agricultural-1 2 EXHIBIT E acre, and surrounding properties are similarly zoned A-la, there is also RS-15 in the mustard brown color, there is RS-10, which is yellow, to the south you have some Commercial, which is CV-10, and there is also Agricultural 5-acre across the road from the subject property. The State Land Use Boundary Map shows that the subject property is designated Agricultural currently, and surrounding the property there is a mix of both Urban and Agricultural. And the General Plan designates the property as partially MDU, which is Medium Density Urban, and partially LDU. And as you can see, most of the surrounding area is similarly LDU or MDU. There is also some, to the west of the property and south, there is Important Agricultural Lands, IAL. And this is the Kona CDP Map. You can see that the subject property has a small dot I think you can make that out, see if this pointer works, sorry it doesn't seem to be working but, the Kona CDP Map shows that the property is within the blue outline showing the Urban, Kona Urban Boundary [sic]. The proposed subdivision here on this this was a map provided by the applicant—shows the subdivision layout of the property with the access roads as previously described with the main access to the north and a secondary access to the south. And an aerial photograph shows kind of a blow-up image to the right showing the general shape of the property and the intersection of the highway and Alii Drive just makai of the property. And we have a larger scale image showing the intersection, which is an important piece of understanding the unique aspects of this property. Alii Drive, or the Hawaii Belt Road, sorry, is to the bottom of the slide, and Mamalahoa Highway continues, or Hawaii Belt Road, continues to north of the slide there. This is a view of the subject property looking northeast, so kind of straight across the intersection at the property right there on the corner right in front of you. Another viewI'm going to show you a series of views to try and create an understanding of the roads and the access points. The top slide here is the view of Mamalahoa Highway looking north and the bottom slide is the view of Mamalahoa Highway looking south, and in both of these slides you can see, like on the top one, you'll see that there is a paved driveway as it exists, that's the approximate location of the main access to the site, so that would be on the north side of the frontage. And this is the view from the corner where it's at the intersection of the two roads, so again, looking north and looking, on the lower side, looking southeast. And this takes you back onto the Hawaii Belt Road, so you are looking west on the upper slide. So you can see that there is a dirt driveway that kind of goes up a small incline there; best we can tell that's approximately where the secondary access, the southernmost access point would be. And the bottom slide shows the same situation looking to the east. 3 EXHIBIT E Finally, the Planning Director's recommendation is to forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment and the Change of Zone request. Thank you, and I'll turn it back to the Chair. DEFRANCO: Thank you, Jessica. So at this time we are going to open the floor to public testimony. So I think we have one testifier here. Do we have some—and one online? HATA: We have two testifiers on Zoom. DEFRANCO: Okay. So, to all testifiers, please try to summarize your testimony within three minutes and don't be repetitive. So if you have submitted written testimony, please do not simply re-read it but supplement or update your written testimony. And the staff is going to notify you at one minute left and when three minutes is up. And at this time, Hilo side first, are you there available to raise their hands? HATA: Yes DEFRANCO: Okay HATA: Yes, Janet Matlock will be the first testifier. DEFRANCO: Okay, I need them both to raise your right hand. Okay, do you swear HATA: Antu Harvey, could you please turn on your video? DEFRANCO: Thank you. Hi, can you raise your right hand and affirm that you are going to tell the truth on this matter before the Leeward Planning Commission? HARVEY: I do. MATLOCK: I do. DEFRANCO: Thank you. And then please begin your testimony with your name and the town that you live in. MATLOCK: Am I first? DEFRANCO: Yes. MATLOCK: I'm Janet Matlock, and I am a resident of Kailua-Kona. And the reason I'm testifying today is similar to the things that you heard earlier that it's just so much of our agricultural land being changed into residential, into urban, in such a piece-meal fashion. I understand that there is this LUPAG, I understand that there is this Community, Kona 4 EXHIBIT E Community Development Plan, which is a lovely aspirational document if you want Honolulu. I am a settler here. I, we first bought a home here in 2009, sold that and bought the home we are in now in 2018, excuse me, in 2015 and moved here full time in 2018. So I was not a part of that original discussion, and I was not aware at the time of it's being amended in 2019, and I wish I would have been. However, specific to this—and one more thing I wanted to mention before I get to my testimony is that I notice when there are people testify to the County Council, and I also recently testified on another item that we'll talk about later today for the Cultural Resources Commission, that the written testimony was provided online in their folders, and for the Planning Commission it is not, so I have no idea what anybody else has said, I have no idea if I'm being repetitive, I have no idea if there are points that still need to be made, I have no idea how many people. So I find that somewhat concerning especially since, you know, we don't want to take up too much of your time. For this particular parcel I want to emphasize what you just saw in the aerial photographs; this is a very dangerous intersection. I've driven it, I've gone to little dry cleaners there, and it is very, very frightening to get in and out, on and off that road. And while I realize that they have suggested, oh, we are going to have this alternateI don't think the Department of Transportation is always fond of it—this other way to get in and out, there is no guarantee that people will do that. And this is an accident, another accident, another fatal accident, this is a fatal intersection waiting to happen even if it wasn't ag. The developer's documentation indicates that they have no intention of having any affordable housing here, that it is all going to be market rate. We've seen what's happened to the market, and we know that the people who live here now are not going to be able to afford anything in this area. It's just not, it's just not possible. So you are going to be increasing the number of people here, you are going to be not allowing people who live here to access new housing, and you are going to do it in this case at risk of a very serious accident. So I just really want to, want to emphasize that this is the wrong parcel, the wrong place, and it is the right time to say stop paving over agricultural lands. Even if they are just used for livestock, even if we have to learn the new/old ways of farming, dry land farming is a very viable source if you take the time to learn it. I see by the video I'm not really holding people's attention, so I will stop here. Thank you. DEFRANCO: Thank you. All right, next testifier? HARVEY: Aloha. My name is Antu Harvey—hang on just a second. Can you hear me okay? DEFRANCO: Yes. HARVEY: Okay. I live in Holualoa. And I'm the president of Pulama is Kona Heritage Preservation Council of 501(c)(3), and our mission is to preserve, protect, and enhance the special qualities of Kona. I'm testifying on this agenda item because it isI'm, I'm not fond of converting ag lands to urban and residential sprawl—but it is really close to the highway backbone. My biggest concern with this agenda item is, as Janet had said, is about the access to the parcel regardless of what's put on it. It's extremely problematic; the access is so close to the 5 EXHIBIT E Napo`opo`o junction from either the south or the north side for even six subdivided parcels. It's a safety issue. There are multiple lanes to cross from either direction, as the photo showed, and much distraction for all vehicles so close to the intersection, including their merge zones, both those access roads, the other side has the beginning or ending of a merge zone. It's very, very dangerous. I'm actually surprised that it would even be allowed by the rules for the highways. So please don't exacerbate the current risky situation by enabling access for six or more parcels. Mahalo nui loa. DEFRANCO: Thank you. And so now we are going to move to swear Mr. Matsukawa in, have you come up and raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth today to the Leeward Planning Commission? MATSUKAWA: I do. DEFRANCO: Thank you. MATSUKAWA: My name is Mike Matsukawa. I live on a property mauka of the subject land with my wife and some neighbors of some 40 years now. When, when you are required to make a decision on subjects like this, you are required to do a lot of thought weighing all the pros and cons of the project. So when you look at what's before you is, you know, this is a classic infill proposal; there is development all around it, it has been designated by the County for future growth. And so it doesn't meet the requirements of the existing State Land Use Law for what an Agricultural District should look like. This is a parcel that has never been used for agriculture as far as I know, 40, 50, 60, 70 years. It's been what it is. It never had any agricultural attributes. Some of the property across the street do have agricultural attributes and have been used for agriculture. So here you have a parcel of land, and from a land use planning perspective, what, what is the driving force? So you would have to look at all of the principles of good planning. So this is a classic infill. It will serve the needs of the landowner, and I think it will serve the needs of the community because it has been set for urban development, light urban development. And so I think it's a good proposal. As for traffic, the engineers would have to figure this one out. But I think it meets all the requirements for a change of land use district and change of land use zoning district as well. Thank you. DEFRANCO: Thank you. So if that's all the public testifiers we have, I'm going to need a motion to close from one of the commissioners. KANUHA: Motion to close testimony. DEFRANCO: Thank you. KNOWLES: Second. DEFRANCO: Thank you. Okay, the testimonies are now closedoh, any, all those in favor? KNOWLES: Aye. 6 EXHIBIT E KANUHA: Aye. DELA CRUZ: Aye. DEFRANCO: Aye. All those opposed? None, okay. All right, so now we are going to have Sidney Fuke, come forward, the consultant for the applicant. Mr. Fuke, will you please raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth today to the Leeward Planning Commission? Please, and state your name and the town you live in. FUKE: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, members of the Commission. I so affirm. My name is Sidney Fuke. I'm a planning consultant. I'm here assisting the applicant landowner, Robert Cowell, who is in the back and also his representative, John Shaw. I really don't know why I'm saying things because I think your last testifier kind of said all the stuff I was going to say. Essentially, that, you know, the property is, based on the General Plan, you look at the Kona Community Development Plan, it's, it's where all your regulatory documents say that this is where growth should go. And it's a classic infill. You saw the zoning map; you saw a number of commercial village zone, RS-10, RS-15, and some Ag-1 zone, and this is kind of like falls right in between. The land is certainly not agriculturally used. Its classification is E, or very poor. I kind of wanted to just give you a little bit background in terms of why the applicant landowner is proposing this project. It's, right now it's zoned Ag-l. It's about 6.87 acres. So based on the existing zoning, the applicant would be in a position to create like six one-acre size lots. Now, if you were to do that, then there would be no affordable housing requirement. There would be no requirement for County-dedicable standard road; you can have just a 20-foot-wide roadway. No fair share impact fee. And obviously, if, you know, some of you live in the North Kona and South Kona area, so you understand the value of the land now, one acre versus like trying to sell a property that's about 10 or 15,000 square feet, so it's going to be much higher, and obviously, you are going to be pricing more and more local people out of the market. Now, this, the owner was able to secure 25 water commitments for this site, so the other option could be, well, why don't you do a 25-lot subdivision? So if you were to do a 25-lot subdivision, the zoning would have been like RS-7.5—some people pointed out some of the traffic issues in that area then you further compound the problem. Then again, you know, with that then, you know, you kind of destroy the, it would not be really consistent with the so-called rural area in that area, you know, when you have much smaller loss. But so what they then looked at is that, okay, maybe we ought to look at something in between. Something in between is what's before you right now,just a 15-lot subdivision, the lot size consisting approximately about 14 or 15,000 square feet in size, [inaudible] excess water. But tied in with that, because they have to go through the zone change process, a couple things have to happen: One is that there is an affordable housing requirement, so that's 20 percent they already have to sell it at the affordable housing rate, but more critically, because the lots are smaller for the market, the average market rate will be considerably less than selling it as a one-acre lot size; the other thing too is that, you know, they now have to pay a fair share, so, that, they are willing to accept. The access issue that was brought up earlier would thus be somewhat less dangerous than having a 25-lot subdivision. 7 EXHIBIT E I kind of wanted to point out that before actually creating the proposed subdivision map, the landowner and the representative actually sat down and had discussions with the County Department of Public Works, the Engineering Division right here, trying to figure like how best to provide, you know, circulation within that area, and the scheme that you saw over there was actually what Public Works actually had recommended; that you have a primary access coming off of Mamalahoa Highway, then you also have like an easement at the south end to at least facilitate movement in that area, provide enough sight distance, you know, so on and so forth. So that was all kind of worked out. And then, to and behold, we discovered at the eleventh hour that the County conveyed that portion of the roadway to the State. So now regrettably, the owner, you know, what was preliminarily agreed upon with the County goes out the window; now we actually have to comply with whatever the State says. So the way your staff had constructed the proposed condition, you know, it's fine, it's now our obligation to hopefully convince Department of Transportation, the State,that what the County had agreed upon is pretty much, is the best scheme. So that's kind of like where we are. The staff's proposed background report and the proposed conditions, they were reviewed both by the landowner and their representative, and they found them to be totally acceptable. So we likewise request your favorable consideration of these applications. Thank you. DEFRANCO: Thank you. Do any of the commissioners have a question for Mr. Fuke? CJ. KANUHA: Quick question. Yes, Sidney, in regards to that traffic and that flow I saw in there, it's going to be, you know, is there going to be a left turning lane back onto Mamalahoa Highway? And then also to with the junction coming through Napo`opo`o, is there going to be a right turning lane on there? That's, I know that's a major concern, especially with what was brought up, you know, from some of the testifiers and driving the road all the time. FUKE: At this point in time, you know, if you are heading south on Mamalahoa Highway, because that portion now belongs to the Department of Transpor-the State, if they mandate a left turn lane, dedicated left turn into the subdivision, then that's the requirement. But at this point in time they don't plan, you know, the initial discussion was, no, you know,just given the projected volume of traffic going into the subdivision. The concern was more like on the outbound, and if you are within the subdivision, you know, how do you get out safely, and you may, you know, try to negotiate like a left turn, you know, heading south. KANUHA: That, that's what I was, in regards to coming out of the property, subject property, rather than turning in. FUKE: Yeah, got it. So that's where the easement on the side, you know, right adjacent to the hardware store KANUHA: Yes. FUKE: Yeah, so they would have like an easement coming out over there. So if you have an easement coming out over there, then you can easily make like a right turn and then go down to 8 EXHIBIT E the Alii Highway, you know, Hokuli`a Bypass. But otherwise, if you are coming in on the primary access road, trying to negotiate to turn left, that becomes very problematic. KANUHA: Have you guys been in discussion with DOT? FUKE: Not yet, because we only found that belatedly that the jurisdiction now fell under the State. But we have nevertheless made contact with Engineering Partners in Hilo to begin that discussion with the State Department of Transportation. We didn't want to take it any further, pending like at least like what's happening before the Commission and the County Council. KANUHA: Thank you. FUKE: Sure. DEFRANCO: Thank you. Are there any other questions? Yes. KNOWLES: Thank you, Mr. Fuke. I had a question also about the DOT concerns, particularly with the secondary access on the southern easement, which sounds like you are talking about. What would be an alternative to that? Have you and the owners considered anything that you might put before DOT? FUKE: Well, I think, you know, like that's why we are hiring this, the applicant is going to hire Engineering Partners to have the discussion with DOT. But my non-engineering perspective, if DOT denies the second access, I think that it'll make it very difficult for vehicles trying to make a left turn coming out of the subdivision; what you are going to have to do is probably turn right and then eventually find a way, you know, to negotiate a left turn. We would hopefully be able to prevail upon that, that, you know, our scheme as developed with the County Department of Public Works, Engineering, is probably the best for this site. KNOWLES: Okay, so there is no alternative kind of idea or possibility at this point— FUKE: ointFUKE: At this point in time, no, I think between the developer and his representative, you know, and DPW Engineering, they kind of like racked their brains trying to figure out how best, you know, both from the public standpoint, you know, getting into the, you know, and the future lot owners perspective, you know, how to get in and out of their property safely, you know, I think they racked their brains, and then that's the best solution they came up with. And we are hoping we can convince the State. KNOWLES: Great. I just had one more question, Chair, if you don't mind. Can youI'm South Kohala, so I'm not so familiar with the intersection but how far is the parcel from the local businesses in the community? Is, you know, it's kind of walkable or what, what is the thinking there? FUKE: Walkable? Yes. KNOWLES: Less than half, less than half a mile? 9 EXHIBIT E FUKE: Yes. KNOWLES: Okay, thank you. DEFRANCO: Thank you, Mr. Fuke. So, Commissioners, we are going to need to vote on these applications separately, so I'm going to need a motion, a motion for action for number 3 so that we can discuss it. KNOWLES: So move, I move that we take action on item number 3. KEKAL What is the motion? DEFRANCO: So you make it, you know, for or against or however you are going to make the motion. KNOWLES: Yes, absolutely, thank you. I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application for State Land Use Boundary Amendment, docket number PL-SLU-2022-0000[0]4, based on the Planning Director's recommendation, which shall be adopted. DEFRANCO: Thank you. Can I have a second? DELA CRUZ: Second. DEFRANCO: Okay, so now we are open for discussion. KANUHA: I don't see anything that[inaudible] — DEFRANCO: Yeah, you have to hold up your mic KNOWLES: Based on Mr. Fuke's representation, I mean I do know that this, to me the main issue and question that had come up was this traffic safety concerns and the proximity to the intersection, but it sounds like the applicant is working to resolve those issues. So presuming that those do get resolved, I don't have any concerns. DEFRANCO: I think working with the State will be a whole other level of looking at that. So they are going to have to get all of those approvals. Are there any other comments or questions that anybody wants to discuss? KANUHA: None. DEFRANCO: None, okay. So that being said, we can take a roll call vote then? So the motion on the table is an affirmative motion. 10 EXHIBIT E ANDREWS: Yes, thank you. So this is a favorable recommendation to the County Council for item number 3, the State Land Use Boundary Amendment. Commissioner Knowles? KNOWLES: Aye. ANDREWS: Commissioner Dela Cruz? DELA CRUZ: Aye. ANDREWS: Commissioner Kanuha? KANUHA: Aye. ANDREWS: And Chair DeFranco, Vice Chair? DEFRANCO: Aye. ANDREWS: That is four votes for aye, motion passes. DEFRANCO: Thank you. So since we are voting on both, we need one more motion to come forward. Someone want to make a motion? KNOWLES: I guess it's me again. I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application for Change of Zone, docket number PL-REZ-2022-000019, based on the Planning Director's recommendation, which shall be adopted. DEFRANCO: Do I have a second? DELA CRUZ: Second. DEFRANCO: Now we can discuss. I want to make a comment. I just, I think it's a really good use of that piece of land. And I like that you've chosen the middle of the road idea, so it does make it more affordable, and it does put into place affordable housing. So I think having, I mean that's sort of exactly what we are looking for is that infill in a place. And as long as the access road and all of that can be done safely, I think it's a very good idea. I just—thank you. KNOWLES: I concur, Chair. KANUHA: Me as well, you know, affordable housing and stuff that we need for our community is huge here, and, you know, I believe the landowner will follow through with what, you know, what was said there, yeah. DEFRANCO: Yeah, and I think that you'll notice that one of the neighbors has come forward also in a positive way for this to happen, and there is nobody really in the neighborhood, you know, except for the road concern, which I think all of us are looking forward to getting dissolved. So, thank you. 11 EXHIBIT E ANDREWS: Excuse me, Chair, if I could just make a point of correction, I wanted to clarify something from my presentation just to make sure that the record is clear. So if we can go back to the slidesChristian, if you don't mind helping—and we'll pull up the Kona CDP slide. So just to be clear, the subject property is located within lands covered by the KCDP and situated within the Captain Cook Rural TOD. I said it was the Kona Urban Boundary, but it's the Rural TOD, an area where the KCDP encourages growth. So just to make that clear. DEFRANCO: Thank you for making that clear for us. Thank you, Jessica. ANDREWS: You're welcome. KEKAL Sorry,just one last thing, Jessica, can you just explain what TOD stands for? ANDREWS: Yeah, it's the Transit Orientation Development. KEKAL Thank you. DEFRANCO: Okay, so hearing no further discussion on this—Commissioner Dela Cruz? Everybody? Okay, so then we can go ahead and take a vote then? ANDREWS: Okay. DEFRANCO: Okay. ANDREWS: So this is a favorable recommendation to County Council for the rezone, for the Change of Zone. Okay, so Commissioner Knowles? KNOWLES: Aye. ANDREWS: Commissioner Dela Cruz? DELA CRUZ: Aye. ANDREWS: Commissioner Kanuha? KANUHA: Aye. ANDREWS: And Chair DeFranco? DEFRANCO: Aye. Thank you. ANDREWS: Thank you. The motion passes with four votes. FUKE: Thank you very much. 12 EXHIBIT E DEFRANCO: Thank you. Thank you so much for your presentation. The hearing ended at 11:54 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Noriko Sauer, Secretary Leeward Planning Commission 13 EXHIBIT E
