Subject: Change of Zone Request (PL-REZ-2022-000035) A -20a to A-l0a
Applicant: Charles Edgar Stevenson, Ann Alberta Stevenson, and John Patrick
Fumo
North Kona, Hawaii TMK (3) 7-3-027: 003
We are in receipt of the Background and Recommendation Reports on the subject application. We
have reviewed the proposed conditions and appreciate the work that has gone into crafting them.
Condition D (3.) would require a 100 -foot -wide structural setback in lieu of the required 30 -foot
setback along the property's frontage, however the applicant's home is currently sited approximately
85 -feet from the property boundary along Haleamau Street. In order to clarify that the applicants are
not required to move their home based on the proposed condition we would respectfully request the
following revision:
3. For new structures proposed after the effective date of this Ordinance, a 100 -foot -wide structural
setback in lieu of the required 30 -foot setback along the existing property's public street frontage to
provide an additional buffer.
Condition K would require a fair share contribution for the proposed one additional lot made possible
by the requested Change of Zone based on "potential road impacts" from additional dwellings
permitted by the Change of Zone. Condition K further states "Based upon the Applicant's
representation of intent to subdivide and develop up to one additional lot, the fair share contribution is
$15,636.59." While it is true the Applicants intend to subdivide one additional lot, there is no proposed
development on either lot. Since Condition F prohibits the construction of additional dwellings on
either of the resulting lots from the proposed subdivision and each of the lots already hosts a dwelling,
no new dwellings are made possible by the Change of Zone and since both of the existing dwellings
have been in place since their construction in 1986, there are no additional public impacts due to the
proposed subdivision. We would respectfully request the deletion of proposed condition K.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to direct them to me. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
JOHN PIPAN
Planning Administrator
