Communication 953 Bill 305 Page 8 of 8 his right at the council level. Council Vice Chair Isbell stated she will vote for this because it requires that curbs, gutters and sidewalks be provided and liked Mr. Hoffinami's idea of providing a time limit for these improvements to be made in light of the Dr. Ching situation. Council Chair Higa moved to amend Bill No. 305 as written and distributed by Mr. Fuke to the Committee. Mr. Higa also noted that in accordance with Rule No. 13.3 he identified his financial interest and reserved his right to vote. There was discussion whether to bifuracate the amendments and discuss each separately. Council Member Safarik noted point of order and that he still had the floor noting he wants the amendment to be taken in its entirety. The Committee voted to amend Condition J to provide a time limit to complete curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements. Mr. Nekoba and Mrs. Abe summarized their respective positions regarding failure of compromise attempts with applicant. Mr. Nekoba stated that reducing the number of units from 25 to 24 is not a compromise and that having sidewalks only on one side of the street is ridiculous. Mrs. Abe stated she was disappointed that no one contacted her until the beginning of October and doesn't feel what's happening is really a compromise. She feels that proposing sidewalks in front of their residences was just a bribe and that density is really what concerns all of them. A motion to approve this measure received four (4) aye votes. Pursuant to Council Rules, 5 aye votes are needed to pass a measure. Therefore, your Committee on Planning forwards Bill No. 305, as amended to Draft 2, to the Council with a negative recommendation. and AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, ARAKAHI X HIGA X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING HOFFMANN X C~~/~ /J HOLSCHUH X //~lj II~DA X ~ ISBELL X / JACOBSON X K.
