<br /> Honorable Pete Hoffinann, Chair <br /> and Members of the County Counci] <br /> HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL <br /> Page 2 <br /> December 22, 2006 <br /> occurred on its property. The county property is not a public road. The property is <br /> under executive order to the county for specific purposes, which do not expressly <br /> include the provision of an easement to adjacent property. <br /> 4. The State Department of Transportation's comments stated that the applicant shall <br /> provide left-turn channelization on Highway 130. These comments would <br /> normally be stated as a condition of rezoning if the Planning Department <br /> recommended approval. We ask that the Council carefully think about allowing a <br /> private commercial operation that will induce customers to make left turns off <br /> Highway 130. If the Council is inclined to approve this rezoning, we request that <br /> an additional condition be added to read: "Applicant shall construct access <br /> improvements to Highway 130 as required by the Department of Transportation, <br /> including but not limited to left-turn channelization." <br /> 5. I should have mentioned, when asked about this project's consistency with the <br /> General Plan, that this project violates the following "Course of Action", on p. 14- <br /> 26 of the General Plan: "Centralization of commercial activities in Pahoa Town, <br /> rather than along the Pahoa By-Pass, to serve the residents of Lower Puna shall be <br /> encouraged." <br /> Sincere, <br /> CHRISTOPHER Y. YUEN <br /> Planning Director <br /> CJY:pak <br /> Wpwin60/Christ/Hoffman-Bills 220 and 221 (Gardner Rezoning) <br /> <br />
