Proposed Use for Subject Property
Rodney & Lorrie Diamond
TMK (3) 1- 5- 017:112
The proposed use for the subject property is for a secure baseyard - covered parking of drilling and farm
equipment, routine maintenance of drilling and farm equipment, storage of drilling and farming materials
and supplies, and the repair of small water pumps.
Covered parking for two drill rig vehicles, two drilling support trucks
Parking for a farm tractor, front end loader, ATV, and trailer used for maintaining an oil palm
tree farm located Keaau.
Storage of materials used in the business
o Metal well casing
o Sand and gravel used for well construction
o Pumps, PVC pipe, and pressure tanks
o Assorted pipe fittings, plumbing, and electrical supplies used in well and water system
construction and repair.
o Food grade, biodegradable drilling soap.
o Fuel and lubricant storage for drilling and farm vehicles.
• A small workshop area for vehicle maintenance and repair, equipment repair, and pump repair.
Having this parking, storage and maintenance facility located at the back of our residence eliminates our
need to commute to work by car, allows for more productive work scheduling, provides a more secure
setting for parking our drilling and farm equipment (away from opportunities for theft and vandalism),
and is more economical with respect to the alternative; having to rent or purchase an off -site parking
and storage facility.
Proposed hours of operation at subject property:
8:OOAM — 5:00PM Monday through Friday
Number of employees:
The business is owner operated. The three business employees are the business owners. Two employees
live in the residence on the subject property. The third employee commutes to the subject property from
his home in Volcano Village.
The majority of work performed by the business is in the field at our clients properties. The business
drills well, installs water pumps, piping and associated water system equipment at our clients'
properties. The subject property is also used to park and maintain agricultural equipment used to
operate an oil palm tree farm located on leased property in Keaau Town.
The workshop area will be used for maintaining business owned machinery and equipment only. No
client vehicle repairs will be performed at the subject property. Pumps being repaired for clients will be
picked up and returned to our clients by business personnel. No walkup repairs will be accepted.
The subject property will not be used as a retail or wholesale outlet. Most business is done over the
phone and by email. Items purchased by our clients are delivered to their property. Clients will not be
coming to the business property to receive purchased items.

the subject property is 135.00 wide by 182.57 deep (24,660 sq. ft) and includes a 7 bedroom home,
swimming pool, pergola, tilapia fishpond and two greenhouses. The residential portion of the property
is planted in royal palms, Samoan coconut palms, grapefruit, lemon, lime, oranges and tangerine, star
fruit, lychee, rambutan, and pineapple. Tomatoes, kale, lettuce, cucumbers, squash, other vegetables
and herbs are grown in the greenhouses. The produce and fish are consumed by the property owners.
State Land Use Classification
The subject property is located in the State Land Use Agricultural District. Uses other than those strictly
defined in HRS205 -4.5 are allowed by Special Permit within the Agricultural District if the soils are
classified by the LSB as having an overall productivity rating of C, D, E or U. The subject property has an
LSB overall productivity rating of E. The Applicant submits this Special Permit application in accordance
with Planning Commission Rules 5 Special Permits and Chapter205, Hawaii Revised Statutes as
amended.
Special Management Area
The subject property is not within the Special Management Area.
County General Plan
The subject property is designated as Rural on the County General Plan's Land Use Pattern Allocation
Guide ( "LUPAG ") map. Allow able uses for Rural designations include facilities that serve the residential
and agricultural uses in the area. The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the Rural
designation as it provides a low - impact needed service for the people within the community, and will be
serving agriculture purposes in the area.

Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP)
The Puna Community Development Plan goals are that the, "...residents of Puna live in harmony with
the aina while promoting as a stainable vibrant local economy, healthy communities, and available
transportation system that is accessible, friendly and safe for now and future generations." (PCDP1 -6).
Granting the Applicant's request for a Special Permit would help the PCDP reach these goals.
0 M51ama I Ka `Aina
The subject property would be consistent with the PCDP's land preservation goals by: Being
respectful of their surroundings: Currently there are no known cultural sites located on the subject
property and the Applicant has secured a "No- Effect" letter from the Department of Land and
Natural Resources State Historic Preservation Division. The letter is attached as Exhibit B
There are no known access ways through the property to the mountain or the ocean: Areas of scenic
and cultural interest will continue to be accessible to the public in a manner that does not detract
from their aesthetic, natural, and cultural value.
No native forests of Puna will be lost. The subject property is not located in a forest reserve, natural
area reserve, or anywhere near a national park boundary.
• Managing Growth
The subject property would meet the PCDP's growth goals by:
Increase overall services that are accessible to the underserved subdivisions that have been
experiencing higher levels of development growth.
Promote adjustments to maintain and increase the quality of life for people in Puna.
Targeting investments in public service and infrastructure to serve peripheral subdivision areas.
• Transportation
The subject property would meet PCDP's transportation goals by:
Increasing employment opportunities within the Puna area in order to reduce long commuting.
Reducing commuter traffic for employment purposes thus reducing Puna's reliance on fossil fuels
for transportation.
The Hawaiian Paradise Park Master Plan
The Hawaiian Paradise Parr ("HPP") Master Plan was created to serve as a planning guide to address
future growth of HPP. The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the HPP Master Plan
by providing a cottage industry that will not create extra traffic or nuisance to neighbors.
Surrounding Zoning and Land lases.
The Subject Property is zoned Agricultural -I acre (A -1a). All adjacent lands to the north, south, east and
west of the Subject Property is zoned A -la and are either vacant, in residential use, or residential with
light agricultural use. The adjacent parcels to the, north and south of the subject property are vacant.

Application for Special Permit TMK (3) 1- 5- 017:112
Flood Insurance Rate Map
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has classified the area in which the subject
property is located, as Zone X. Zone X is land with no recognized flood potential and is located outside
both the loo -year and 500 -year floodplain. This classification means that the property is located outside
of the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplain, and that no base flood elevations or depths are shown for
this zone (NFIP,2009). The risk of flooding from large surface water flood events is low. A copy of the
FIRM designation is attached as Exhibit C.
Archaeological Resources
The subject property is a I-acre parcel zoned Agricultural I acre (A -la) and is located at 15 -1815 32nd
Avenue, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Puna, Island of Hawaii. The subject property is not listed on the
National or State Register of Historic Places and information from the County of Hawaii Real Property
Tax indicate a residential structure was permitted in year 2001. The subject property is not anticipated
to have any archaeological resources. the Applicant has secured a "No- Effect" letter from the
Department of Land and Natural Resources State Historic Preservation Division. The letter is attached as
Exhibit B
Floral and Faunal Resources
The subject property includes introduced fruit trees, vegetable and herb gardens, and various introduce
ornamental plants. The subject property does not have any high -value floral resources. Common birds
such as Japanese white -eye, Northern Cardinal, Spotted Dove and Common Myna birds are seen on the
subject property and none of these birds are listed or candidates for threatened or endangered species.
Valued Cultural Resources
The Subject Property is located on 32nd Avenue, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Puna and is not anticipated to
have any valued cultural resources.
Public Access
The Subject Property is not located adjacent to or near any shoreline or mountain areas; therefore, the
project would not affect public access to these resources.
Description of Access
Access to the Subject Property is via a drive way on 32nd Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park. 32nd Avenue
is a two lane gravel road that has a 40 foot right of way. The roads of the Hawaiian Paradise Park
Subdivision are privately owned and maintained.
Traffic Impacts
The subject property is anticipated to have unassuming traffic impact in both the morning and
afternoon hours.
One owner /employee commutes daily to the subject property from his home in Volcano Village. The
other two employee /owners live in the residence located on the subject property.
One or two work vehicles will be leaving and returning to the subject property, daily at most, often
times less. Drilling equipment is left on the remote jobsites until the work is completed. This often
takes several days of work. Drilling equipment is routinely transported from one jobsite to the next
Page 6
Application for Special Permit
Rodney & Lorrie Diamond
TMk (3) 1- 5- 017:112
without returning to the subject property in the interim. When there are no active jobs in progress,
drilling equipment will be parked on the subject property for days at a time.
Deliveries to the subject property include occasional FedEx or UPS deliveries once or twice a week, fuel
deliveries once every six months, and a 40' container of drilling supplies from the mainland once a year,
if needed. The business flatbed support truck is used to transport sand and gravel to be the remote job
sites. Extra sand and gravel not used on a job is stored on the subject property in small quantities - less
than two tons of gravel and sand at any given time.
Transport of farming equipment to/from the oil palm farm occurs one or two times a month.
As stated previously, the subject property will not be used as a retail or wholesale outlet. Business at the
subject property is done over the phone and by email. Items purchased by clients are delivered to their
property. Clients will not be coming to the subject property to receive purchased items.
Availability of Utilities
Metered electricity, telephone, and internet connectivity are available to the subject property. However,
electric demand for the residence and subject property is supplied by an onsite 10kW photovoltaic
system. Water demand is supplied by an onsite private well.
There is no wastewater service available to the subject property. The property has an existing cesspool
that serves the residence only. The other structures on the subject property do not have plumbing, and
are not connected to the cesspool. Because the existing cesspool only serves one residence with two
full time residents the cesspool is not classified as a high capacity cesspool by the State of Hawaii
Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Grounds for Special Permit
The granting of this request would promote the effectiveness and objectives of Chapter 205,
Hawaii Revised statutes, as amended.
205 H R5
The proposed use is an unusual and reasonable use of land situated within the State Land Use
Agricultural District and would promote the effectiveness and objectives of Chapter205, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, as amended.
In recognizing that lands within the agricultural districts might not be best suited for agricultural
activities and yet classified as such, and in recognition that certain types of uses might not best strictly
agricultural in nature, yet reasonable in such districts, the legislature has provided for the Special Permit
process to allow certain unusual and reasonable uses within the Agricultural District. In addition, the
State Land Use Law and Regulations are intended to preserve, protect, and encourage the development
of lands in the State for those uses to which they are best suited in the interest of the public health and
welfare of the people of the State of Hawaii. In the case of the Agricultural District, the intent is to
preserve or keep lands of high agricultural potential in agricultural use.
The land on which the subject property is located is classified as "E" or "Very Poor" for agricultural
productivity by the Land Study Bureau and unclassified by the Agricultural Lands of Importance to the
State of Hawaii (ALISH) Map.
Page 7
Rodney & Lorrie Diamond
Application for Special Permit TMK (3) 1-5- 017:112
The subject property is 1 acre in size. The area under consideration for a Special Use Permit is 0.43 acre.
It is presently not in agricultural use. Development of the subject property will not have a significant
adverse effect on the county's agricultural land inventory. It is submitted that the proposed use is an
unusual and reasonable use of lands situated within the Agricultural District and will not be contrary to
the objectives of chapter 205 HRS., as amended.
205A HRS - Coastal Zone Management
The proposed use of the subject property is not contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by
Chapter 205A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the coastal zone management program.
The subject property is located 4.03 miles from the nearest shoreline. The property is located well
outside of the Special Management Area and tsunami evacuation zone.
The property will have no impact on coastal ecosystems or marine and coastal resources. The property
will not be affected by any coastal hazards or beach erosion.
There is no designated public access to the mountain or shoreline areas over the property. The
proposed use of the subject property will not restrict public access to cultural, historic, scenic, or open
space areas.
The coastal view plane is not visible from the subject property. The proposed use of the property will
not obstruct the public view plane of coastal areas or mountains.
Desired Use's Affect on Surrounding Properties
The desired use of the subject property will not have an adverse affect on the surrounding properties.
We have been in business at this location since 2004. In the years we've been at this location there has
never been a complaint. The subject property is bounded on all sides by a 6 ft. high privacy fence. The
activities proposed for the subject property are mostly passive in nature - parking and storage. The
proposed routine maintenance and repair work to be performed is not noisy, smelly, smoky nor dusty,
and will occur only during the proposed working hours of 8:0vAM -- 5:o0PM, Monday through Friday.
Unreasonable Burden on Public Agencies
The desired use of the subject property will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads
and streets, sewers, water, drainage, school improvements, and police and fire protection. As stated
previously, the subject property is self sufficient with respect to electricity, water, and sewerage. The
low volume of traffic to and from the subject property will not place an undue burden on the existing
access roads. No school -age children reside at the subject property. A fire suppression system is being
designed and will be installed at the subject property with approval of the special use permit. By
parking the drilling and farm vehicles on the subject property, a more secure location is provided for
their storage, reducing the need for police protection of the equipment if stored in an unoccupied off -
site location.
Unusual Conditions, Trends, and Needs Have Arisen Since the District Boundaries and
Regulations Were Established
Due to increased population in the Puna area, there are many homes that are underserved with regards
to water supply. Most homes in Puna rely on rainwater catchment for their household water needs.
This is a water source of questionable sanitation and reliability, especially in times of low rainfall. There
are no plans for substantial expansion of the County of Hawaii, Department of Water Supply's service to
the Puna area. Private wells are a viable and reliable alternative to rainwater catchment. Private wells
Page 8
Rodney & Lorrie Diamond
Application for Special Permit TMK (3) 1- 5- 017:112
are comparable in price to new rainwater catchment system when drilled at lower elevations.
Groundwater provides a more reliable and sanitary source for household water than rainwater
catchment. Diamond Drilling and Pump provides a valuable service to the community by offering an
affordable well drilling and pump repair service. The majority of wells drilled by Diamond Drilling and
Pump are used for irrigation, or a combination of household water and irrigation. Rainwater catchment
is not a reliable water source for agricultural irrigation.
Additionally, the use of fossil fuels is costly, unsustainable, and detrimental to the environment.
Diamond Drilling and Pump has planted over 30 acres of leased property in oil palm trees, with the goal
of growing palm dates to be used in the production of biodiesel, a renewable, local fuel source. The
subject property will be used for secure parking of the agricultural equipment that is used to work the
nearby oil palm farm.
The land is not Suited For Permitted Uses,
The land upon which the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the uses permitted within the district.
The subject property is relatively flat, pahoehoe lava with no topsoil. To achieve the light agricultural
use now around the residence on the subject property, all topsoil had to be imported to the subject
property for plantings and landscaping. Cinders were imported to the subject property for minor site
grading and driveway use. The majority of the subject property has no topsoil and is unsuitable for
intensive agricultural planting.
Essential Character of Subject Property
The proposed use will not substantially alter or change the essential character of the land and the
present use. The land is currently being used for the purposes outlined above as the proposed uses for
the subject property. The essential character of the property will remain in its current form.
General Plan, Goals, Policies, Standards, and the Subject Property
The subject property is designated as Rural on the County General Plan's Land Use Pattern Allocation
Guide ("LUPAG ") map. Allow able uses for Rural designations include facilities that serve the residential
and agricultural uses in the area. The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the Rural
designation as it provides a low- impact needed service for the people within the community (affordable
well drilling and repair), and will be serving agriculture purposes in the area (growing a renewable and
sustainable local fuel source) .
The proposed use is an unusual and reasonable use of land, which would not be contrary to the
objectives to be sought by the Land Use Law and Regulations, which, for the Agricultural and Rural
Districts, seeks to preserve or keep lands of high agricultural potential in agricultural use.
The subject property is not listed as being Agricultural Land Important to the State of Hawaii. It has a
Land Study Bureau soil rating of E. The subject property is not suited for agricultural development. It is
however suitable for providing support to agricultural activities on nearby farmland, and support for
providing needed services within the surrounding communities.

County of Hawaii Change in Zoning Application for a One -Acre Parcel
Kea`au Ahupua`a, Puna District, Island of Hawaii
TMK: (3) 1 -5-0 17:112
Thank you for requesting comments on this application, which we received July 23, 2012. The application requests a
change from agriculture to commercial zoning. According to information provided by you, there will be no new
construction in connection with this change. The parcel has been grubbed and graded in the past; extant buildings
include a dwelling (200 1) and a shop (2007). A pool was also constructed in 2007. Photos provided by you confirm
that the parcel has been grubbed and leveled, with yard landscaping in place.
Our records indicate that we have previously reviewed a well permit application for this parcel, and indicated that no
historic properties were present at that time (Mark Smith memo to Commission on Water Resources, Feb 13, 2002).
We have received no new information since this prior review to indicate the presence of historic properties at this
location. Based on the history of land use, and the currently developed condition of this parcel, we believe that no
historic properties will be affected by the change in zoning.
In the unlikely event that evidence of historic properties such as lave tube openings, artifacts or skeletal remains is
discovered on the property, please cease activities in the immediate area and contact our office at 933 -7653. If you
have any questions or wish to discuss this letter, please contact me at Theresa. K wDonham @hawai i . god.
