• After conferring with Planning Department staff, the best way to address an extension request is to request an additional amendment, based on the information provided herein. The applicant is requesting a seven(7)year allotment of time to complete the conditions of the original ordinance. This request would allow for the time needed to complete the proposed subdivision. Reason for Request: The subject parcel was purchased as a"partnership" in 2008. With the downturn of the economy, one of the partners were unable to continue and withdrew from the partnership;Mr. Correa bought out that portion of the property. In 2012, the other partner was also forced to withdraw from the partnership. Again,Mr. Correa bought out the other portion of the property. With the partnership dissolved, the subject parcel was put solely in the Correa Trust. Due to the economy's effect on the partnership, conditions were unable to be addressed or completed. However, Mr. &Mrs. Correa are requesting an amendment to the ordinance to allow for an extension of time for the performance of conditions. After having resolved the previous partnership issues and granted another extension for the rezoning ordinance, Mr. and Mrs. Correa began making improvements to the property. Unfortunately, around the same time as Mr. and Mrs. Correa were granted the extension, they had already started or were about to start other projects. Many of which had time requirements mandated by the financial institutions involved in funding those projects. This made any real progress on the project very difficult both financially and time wise. Now that Mr. and Mrs. Correa have finished all other projects and are free from those time and financial burdens,they are ready to move forward with the subdivision. Final Subdivision Approval of the proposed subdivision development shall be secured within seven(7)years from the effective date of this amendment, October 9, 2013. • The resolution of the partnership situation created an environment where moving forward with the required timeframe became very difficult. The lack of partners didn't allow for leveraging of both financial and logistical needs to complete the subdivision. With other projects that Mr. and Mrs. Correa had stringent time and financial obligations to, they could not move forward how they had intended to without clearing up those other projects causing them burden.Now that there are no other such projects, Mr. and Mrs. Correa are able to effectively move forward with the completion of the subdivision. The subject ordinance was approved by the County of Hawaii, County Council on October 9th, 2013. The ordinance(No. 13-98)was amended as follows: "Section 1, 25-8-33,Article 8, Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 Edition), is amended to the change the district classification of property described herein as follows:" f
