Subdivision Application No. 5-2017-11, D.R. Horton -Schuler Homes, proposed 2 -lot subdivision, TMK: (4) 3-7-003: 020, Hanamd'ulu, Kauai. The Subdivision Report pertaining to this matter — consideration of Subdivision Application No. 5-2017-11 that involves a subdivision of a parcel into two (2) lots. The evaluation of the project — the proposed development subdivides a parcel into two (2) lots. Proposed Lot 3-A and Lot 3-13 are both zoned Residential (R-10) District. Just to clarify for the record, the reason behind this subdivision is to dedicate the lift station portion to the County. Also, just for the record, there is a Water Department condition — No. 2.a. I am just going to amend it to read, "A Facilities Reserve Charge of $28,230 (2 lots at $14,115 per lot)." It will also read, "FRC offsets may apply if the water system facilities are provided by the Applicant in accordance with the DOW's rules and regulations." Other than that, we have received all various government agencies' comments and we are recommending tentative approval. Mr. Ho: Thank you. Is there someone from Grove Farm with us today? Clyde Kodani: For the record, Clyde Kodani, authorized agent for the applicant. Mr. Ho: (Any) questions, Commissioners? Ms. Apisa: I would just sort of like to hear his presentation; what he has to say. Mr. Kodani: There isn't much to say, but as Staff did indicate, the primary intent for this 2 -lot subdivision is to create that small lot — 3-13 — (where) the sewer lift station has been recently completed and installed by D.R. Horton — the developers out there — and we need to dedicate the sewer lift station over to the County. In order to dedicate the facilities to the County, we need to create a lot of record and so that is the primary purpose of this 2 -lot subdivision. Ms. Apisa: I don't have any questions. Mr. Mahoney. No. Mr. Ho: Is it in operation now? Mr. Kodani: I am not sure exactly if it is in operation, but I know it received approval, construction approval, so I know it is operational. Ms. Apisa: I move we approve. Mr. Mahoney: Okay. I second the motion to approve tentative subdivision approval for Subdivision (Application) No. 5-2017-11, proposed 2 -lot subdivision with the amended condition from our planner today. Ms. Apisa: Yes, correct. Mr. Ho: The motion has been made and seconded for tentative subdivision approval. All in favor? (Unanimous voice vote) Motion carries 3:0. Mr. Kodani: Thank you.
