We aze unable to approve the plans at this time for the following reason: The subject property was granted the General Commercial zoning designation through approval of Ordinance 93 101, which became effective on October 8, 1993. One condition (C) of approval of the rezoning was that development of the commercial area was to be completed within three (3) years of issuance of Final Plan Approval (FPA was required within one (1) year of the Ordinance effective date). Other conditions of the Ordinance approval include, but are not limited to, construction of curbs, gutters and sidewalks along the whole Lanihuli Street frontage. Although the original Final Plan Approval was issued within the timeframe required and a Building Permit was issued for the construction of the RetaiUWarehouse Building, it appears that actual construction never occurred. Compliance with the condition (C) has never been granted a time extension. This situation needs to be addressed by the landowner/petitioner in consultation with the Planning Departments' Planning Commission Division. Please contact Norman Hayashi of this office for guidance on this matter. EXHIBIT A Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Empfoyen
