Mr. Bukoski: Subdivision (boundary adjustment) of Parcel 18, being the consolidation of Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Jerves Tract (File Plan No. 272) and Parcel 19, being Lot 5 of Ganasa Tract (File Plan No. 329) into Lots 2 -A and 3 -A, Kalaheo, K61oa, Kauai, Hawaii. The proposal redefines the boundaries between two (2) existing lots within the General Commercial (C -G) zoning district. As represented by the applicant, the primary intent of this proposal is (to) partition the properties between family members, which is for ownership purposes. We have all comments from all agencies. We are requesting final approval. Vice Chair Abrams: Any questions for Staff? Mr. Ho: Chance, look at that map. There's a roadway indicated below Lot 3 -A, and you see there's a water meter in the roadway. How did they do that? That water meter services Lot 3 -A? S Mr. Cua: Based on the map, it doesn't show who or what lot is being serviced by this existing water meter. One of the requirements for the subdivision process is to identify, you know, such facilities, such as these water meters, but yeah, it's within that existing roadway, but I think it is set into the pavement area. It's an older section of Kalaheo Town, so... Mr. Keawe: Is it right in town? Mr. Cua: Yes, it's right in town. It's situated just above the steak house. Mr. Keawe: Oh, okay. Vice Chair Abrams: And I see we've got the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center there, up at the top of the map there, so... Mr. Cua: Correct, Vice Chair Abrams: Some sort of bordering on that side, yeah? So is this road Papalina Road? Mr. Cua: No, it's actually an existing older roadway. It's within ... it services those lots within the existing tract. Vice Chair Abrams: I got you. Mr. Keawe: So in total, it looks like there are ten (10) residences in that ... in those two (2) lots. Is that what I'm looking at? Mr. Cua: Right. Many of these residences were built prior to the CZO. Mr. Keawe: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vice Chair Abrams: Okay. Any other questions? Anyone here for this? (Is) Roger Caires here? Mr. Cua: I did speak to Roger. He actually couldn't be able to make it. We did notify both Roger and the owner that the application was coming in for final approval, and they didn't have any concerns. Vice Chair Abrams: Any...? Mr. Cua: (They) actually were happy that it's being scheduled. Vice Chair Abrams: Okay, that's fine. Mr. Ho: Are you recommending approval, then? Mr. Cua: Yes. 5 Vice Chair Abrams: Okay. I need a motion. Mr. Ho: Tentative... oh, I'm sorry. Motion for tentative approval... Mr. Cua: Correction. It would be final. Mr. Ho: Oh, final. I'm sorry. Oh yes.
