all of the approval letters as of January 13th. As a result we are recommending final subdivision
approval of this application.
Chair: Just kind of enlighten me a little bit,prior to the request for a boundary
adjustment this property was zoned for...
Staff. It is split zoned, you have a mixture of residential R-2 and Open so I think as I
noted in the staff report the land area of one of the lots increases from a half acre to one acre in
size.
Chair: So you will have split use then in terms of the zoning.
Staff. Split zoning. I think the Open zone reflects some of the constraints on the
property.
Chair: So I guess this is mainly for tax purposes then to consolidate.
Staff. Yes.
Chair: Any questions of Mr. Cua?
Mr. Blake: Move to approve.
Ms. Matsumoto: Second.
Chair: Any discussion, all those in favor say aye, those opposed, motion carried.

Final Subdivision Action, S-2011-14,Princeville Prince Golf Course LLCIOEB III
LL C, 2-Lot Boundary Adjustment, TMK: 5-3-006:022, 045, Princeville, Kauai.
Staff. Thank you Mr. Chair. As noted in the subdivision report the proposal redefines
the boundaries between two existing lots to actually accommodate infrastructure improvements
on the property. Basically there is an existing sewer pump station and some drainage
improvements within the golf course lot and all it does is with the boundary adjustment it moves
the boundary lines so that all of these improvements are consolidated with the residential project.
We have received all of the agency approval letters; we are recommending final subdivision
approval of this application.
Chair: Any questions of Mr. Cua? If not, anyone in the public wishing to testify?
Seeing none I will call on the applicant's representative to come forward please.
