Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 • May 22, 1990: First administrative time extension granted until April 26, 1991 to comply with Condition B. • July 24,1991: Effective date of Ordinance No. 91 71, which amended Ordinance No. 89 54 for a time extension until July 24, 1992 to comply with Condition B. • June 29,1992: Planning Director grants another administrative time extension to July 24, 1993 to comply with Condition B. • October 5,1993: As the July 24, 1993 deadline to comply with Condition B has passed, applicant is informed that a formal time extension request must be submitted to the County Council. • April 11, 2003: Applicant requests another time extension to Condition B, citing financial reasons for inability to comply with the condition. • April 23, 2003: Planning Department informs prospective buyer that an amendment to the ordinance is required for another time extension. • August 12, 2003: Attorney for landowner informs the Planning Department that a formal time extension would be forthcoming. • November 20, 2003: Current request to amend Condition B for a time extension to submit the required SMA Use Permit application. The applicant's representative requested that the time extension be heard simultaneously with the SMA Use Permit application for the 93-unit condominium project and related improvements. The inability of the applicant to comply with the requirements of Condition B of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 91 71 is the result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant. The August 12, 2003, letter included as part of this request cites the recession in Japan, Gulf War and general economic downturn and related financial constraints in the domestic market as reasons for the applicant's inability to comply with Condition B. The applicant has streamlined its operations and improved its financial performance in ensuing years, although actual revenues continue to lag behind projected figures. The applicant, who recently purchased the property, wishes to preserve the requirement for the SMA Use Permit. A SMA Use Permit application for a 93-unit condominium project and related improvements is being processed simultaneously with the time extension request.
