July 5, 2001 <br /> Hawaii County Council Corrlmittee on Planning <br /> Attn: Nis. Sobby Jear? Leithead Todd, Chairperson <br /> (808) 961-8912 -Fax <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> RE; I~a~uno ~nte~p~7s~S~ Ltsl. -Change of District Classification from <br /> Single Farraiiy Residential (RS-10) to General Cornmerciai (CG-20), <br /> Waiakea, South Hilo, TMiC 2-20:14 d~ 69 <br /> ®ear Ms. Leithead Todd & Council Members, <br /> Three months have elapsed since we last r~net on April 3'd to discuss this pr®Ject. i'he <br /> issues that I raised at that time are stilt issues of great concern to me and to those who <br /> live in the Panaewa Hawaiian Florne Lands neighborhood. bather than repeat what I <br /> <br /> ' said bark in Aprii, i instead would like you to answer some questions, which stem from <br /> the April 1 hearing. I think a lot of those who observed this hearing via television might <br /> have the same questions so we would appreciate your ansva~rs. <br /> 1) Why is the protect back wr$h your committee? Who referred it back to your <br /> con~rnittee? The Corp Counsel or the Planning ®irector? Was an opinion rendered? <br /> What was the opinion? <br /> 2) hack in Aprii, we noticed that AAr Tyler from Kona, was first to point out the <br /> discrepancy in Matsuno's change of district classiflication request. Tire parcel is <br /> currently zoned low density, yet Mr Fuke claimed that, due to an illegal <br /> administrative ruling, it arras supposed to be zoned high density. We want to know <br /> why the council representative from this district, who happens to be a lawyer, failed <br /> to bring this discrepancy up with Mr Fuke in the first place? <br /> 3) Since the project is requesfing a district classification change for a parcel that is not <br /> zoned for his type of change, then why is the project continuing to be on the <br /> agenda? Shouldn't approvals for this project be suspended until a legal zoning <br /> change is rvaade? <br /> 4) it is my Understanding that FNMA has not issued its revised flood report yet. it is <br /> also my understanding that there is a pending lawsuit against the State for flooding <br /> in the Awapuhd Street neighborhood. It is,_also unknown as to whether the county <br /> cow.
