J. PALMER: So, we'd have the HPP house to go back and forth to and we'd keep our Kailua home and kind of go back and forth since we like— L. PALMER: We like to the Big Island — J. PALMER: — he loves it so much. L. PALMER: —and it's affordable compared to where we're sitting now. J. PALMER: So, but yeah,we live in Kailua, Oahu. AU: Okay, thank you. Any other questions for the applicant or staff from my fellow Commissioners? Commissioner Galimba. GALIMBA: So,this is a question more to the staff, I think. So, given their request to defer until they decide to put in another building. Is there an enforcement mechanism for that? I mean that would automatically sort of trigger that or would it sort of be necessary for the department to be watching for that? DARROW: I can go ahead and answer that Chair. AU: Yes, please, Mr. Darrow. DARROW: Thank you. So, this is a tough request for Planning because Planning looks at this more from the standpoint of the zoning issue. So, you're going from a residential zoning to a commercial zoning, which is a higher density allows for a much broader range of uses. Currently, there is a particular requested use for this and normally that happens when an applicant comes in, they say, this is what we're proposing to do, and it appears very likely that that'll be the case in this particular application. But what happens is their standards for a particular zone. For commercial zoning the standard that's recommended by the Department of Public Works is curb, gutter, and sidewalk and we always follow their recommendation. If you refer to your Planning Department Exhibit 3 in the background that has the Department of Public Works recommendation for the commercial request. They're requesting pavement widening with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The matter of delaying the request it's tough because we've done that in the past and what happens is when you kick the can down the road it's not like the Planning Department is constantly watching for when this is going to happen, or we may not even know that something did happen. Other than maybe a request for a building permit or a plan approval. What normally happens is all of a sudden time will go by, something will happen, and the applicants sell the property. And that commercial zoning the request that the applicants have for this particular furniture retail outlet is not tied to the request, it's the zoning. The zoning can allow again a broad range of uses. There is Condition M that John had referred to that kind of is a check and balance for us that if another use comes in that's greater than this one, it triggers because the I'll have to come in for 7 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
