Honorable James Y. Arakaki, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 availability of utilities and particularly electric power to the plant site. The applicant has constructed a 60' graded road to the ready-mix plant site. The applicant has also installed a 12" water line in accordance with plans approved by the Department of Water Supply and an 8" sewer line in accordance with plans approved by the Department of Public Works. The only utility not yet installed is electric power. On August 9, 1995, Helco submitted its proposal for installation of an overhead electrical distribution system to serve the applicant's project. The charge of $78,628.00 was paid by the applicant. However, Helco determined that it was necessary to install the new Helco three phase 12.47KV over head distribution system and pole P-S1X on Queen Kaahumanu Highway before it could extend the three phase up to the applicant's ready-mix plant site. Because of the foregoing delay in the installation of electric service to applicant's project, it is impossible to meet the deadline of April 27, 1997, for construction and operation of the ready-mix plant. 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 has continually worked to secure the necessary approvals from the Department of Public Works for the required improvements within and beyond, the boundaries of the project site. The applicant's ability to construct the ready-mix batching plant is subject to the installation of the electric service by Helco. Over the many years the applicant has been before the Commission, the applicant has shown perseverance in managing the many requirements which they have and to deal with. The applicant has either complied with or initiated the process of compliance with other conditions of approval within the subject ordinance. For your favorable consideration, an amendment to Ordinance No. 93-38, as amended by Ordinance No. 96-3, is transmitted.
