Hay parcel subdivision described as six lots; donated land proposed for bypass road and bike path

Andy Friend described a proposed six‑lot subdivision of the Hay parcel and showed a preliminary layout to the March 8 meeting.

Under the plan there would be two half‑acre R‑6 lots (one for Kauaʻi Community Federal Credit Union and one for housing), a 58.8‑acre parcel expected to remain agricultural, an 11.2‑acre parcel near the post office likely to be developed first, a 24.7‑acre parcel adjacent to the Bertsch property with Kūhiō Highway frontage and a 14.5‑acre parcel intended to be farmed in turmeric for now. Mr. Hay would donate land for a bypass road and a bike path linking Kūhiō Highway to the post office; the draft subdivision map by Esaki's surveying was expected within 30 days. The minutes note KCFCU may submit a parallel use‑permit application pending final subdivision approval and that no density changes will occur until zoning action is completed.

Board members requested clarifications about road bonding, water‑line easements to the agricultural park, and access limitations (for example, no bike‑path access from Titcomb Estates). The minutes record these as ongoing questions to be addressed during the subdivision review process.
