R McIntyrre_AJR June 2024 <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> SCOTT AND REBECCA MCINTYRE <br /> SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA USE PERMIT APPLICATION <br /> (PL-SMA-2024-000049) <br /> Upon careful review of the applicants' request against the guidelines for granting of a Special <br /> Management Area Use Permit, the Planning Director recommends that this request to <br /> construct a one-story, 2,204 square foot single-family residence and related improvements <br /> on a 2.56-acre shoreline parcel within the Special Management Area be approved by the <br /> Planning Commission. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public <br /> testimony,the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this recommendation based upon <br /> additional information presented at the public hearing. This approval recommendation is based <br /> on the following: <br /> The applicants seek an SMA Use Permit to construct a single-family residence <br /> containing three (3) bedrooms, three (3) bathrooms and a garage. The dwelling will <br /> consist of 2,204 square feet of living space and 1,600 square feet of accessory area (i.e. <br /> lanai, garage and walkways) for a total combined area of 3,804 square feet. Accessory <br /> improvements will include an Individual Wastewater System, a 6-foot-high rock wall <br /> along the front property line, a driveway, and an entry gate. In order to minimize ground <br /> disturbance, the dwelling has been designed with the natural topography of the building <br /> site in mind, resulting in portions of the dwelling being elevated from the ground; staff <br /> notes that space below the dwelling will be used as storage. Water will be provided via an <br /> existing county water line, and wastewater will be managed by the development of a <br /> State Department of Health (DOH) approved Individual Wastewater System (IWS). The <br /> proposed dwelling will utilize electricity supplied to the site by HELCO. <br /> The grounds for approving development within the Special Management Area are <br /> based on HRS, Chapter 205A-26(2) (Special Management Area guidelines) and Rule 9- <br /> 11(e) of the Planning Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure.
