And, again, we’ve got the Kona Acres Subdivision in this area and the ‘O‘oma Plantation Subdivision here to the south, so that the subject parcel is in between those two subdivisions. The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from an Agricultural-5 acre zoning designation to a Family Agricultural-1 acre zoning district for approximately 5.966 acres of land. The applicant intends to subdivide the property into five one-plus acre sized parcels, of which the applicant intends to keep one or two lots for family purposes and sell the balance to help address required infrastructure costs.
