Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 "Nothing can be built within the RM-5 zoned area until the flood improvements are built, inspected, dedicated to the County and a LOMAR is issued by FEMA as set forth in the CLOMR(Case No. 95-09616R)." A number of governmental reviews and permit approvals, and County Council approvals of land transfers and grants of easements involving County land, are required before the flood control system can be constructed. Approval of this amendment request would not be contrary to the General Plan nor would it be contrary to the original reasons for granting the change of zone. The applicant states that it has "persisted in its development efforts for over seventeen (17) years and remains dedicated to complete the development as envisioned in its original rezoning request in 1984." The applicant is actively pursuing the required permits for the flood control system and is concurrently working on developing Unit 2 of the Single Family Residential (RS) zoned lands. Infrastructural improvements funded by the applicant will result in drainage, roadway, and water system improvements within and beyond the boundaries of the project site. The applicant's ability to secure final plan approval of the Multiple Family Residential (RM) zoned lands is subject to the approval of the flood control system. Over the many years the applicant has been before the Commission, the applicant has shown perseverance in managing the many requirements which they have had to deal with. The applicant has either complied with, or initiated the process of compliance with all other conditions of approval within the subject ordinance. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 97-99, which amended Ordinance Nos. 84-23, 84-42, 88-4, 90-62, 91-96, 93-26 and 94-34, of the County Zoning Code is transmitted.
