The property is located along the west <br />(makai) side of the Hawaii Belt Road (Highway 11) and across from the Pualani Estates <br />Subdivision, Puaapuaiki 1st and Puaapuaanui 1st, North Kona, Hawaii. <br />A motion was made to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council. There <br />were three votes in favor of the motion and two against. Because five votes are needed <br />for the Planning Commission to take action, the three to two vote constitutes a "no <br />action" by the Planning Commission. The "no action" itself constitutes an unfavorable <br />recommendation. The application will be forwarded to the County Council with the <br />unfavorable recommendation, along with a copy of the hearing transcript. <br />The applicant requested that the docket be transmitted to the County Council rather than <br />having the Planning Commission revote on the application at a subsequent meeting. <br />Hawai'i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
