A residential subdivision along Hanalei Plantation Road and not far from the Princeville police and fire station that’s been nearly 12 years in the making could move a step closer to reality this morning.
That’s when the Kaua’i Planning Commission’s Subdivision Committee may grant final subdivision approval to allow Hanalei residents William F. Mowry and Martha J. Mowry to subdivide their 22-acre property at Princeville into 13 residential lots.
The subdivision includes room for roadway widening. One of the lots in the subdivision used to be a county landfill, and will become a passive park, said Max Graham, attorney for the Mowrys.
No residences will be allowed on the landfill lot, and three of the lots on the Hanalei Bay side of the parcel will be allowed just one home each, Graham said. The other 10 lots qualify for two residential units apiece, and will have setback restrictions.
State Department of Transportation Highways Division approval is needed for the widening of Hanalei Plantation Road, and all the lots will have direct access to that road, Graham said.
The overall project calls for less density than allowed by law, and is also a scaled-down version of the original Mowry vision for the property, Graham said.
The couple is ready to move forward with subdivision of the property, a process that began in the early 1990s, Graham said.
