Kenoi, dated August 14, 2009, <br /> presents a request to amend certain conditions by Palamanui Global Holdings, LLC, applicant. <br /> <br /> Bill 137 seeks to amend Ordinance No. 06-105, which reclassified lands from Agriculture - 3 acres <br /> (A-3a) and Open (O) to Project District (PD) at Ka`u, North Kona, Hawaii, covered by Tax Map <br /> Key: 7-2-005:001. Bill 137 amends Conditions D, G, N, Q, S, X, EE, PP, TT, and UU. <br /> <br /> Twenty members of the public provided testimony on the matter. All but one spoke in support of <br /> the request. All twenty spoke favorably regarding the project's support of the community <br /> college campus on the west side. Nineteen testified that the developer must be allowed to <br /> reshuffle its priorities, in order to allow the project to move forward in an economically feasible <br /> manner. The lone dissenter stated that the developer must not be allowed to shirk its obligations. <br /> <br /> Your Committee concurs with the Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable <br /> recommendation for approval of the request to amend the conditions. <br /> <br /> Committee Member Ford voted "kanalua" twice. <br /> Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 137 and <br /> recommends it pass first reading. <br /> <br /> <br /> awm <br /> AYES NOES A&E Ex Respectfully submitted, <br /> ENRIQUES X <br /> FORD X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING <br /> GREENWELL X <br /> HOFFMANN X <br /> IKEDA X <br /> NAEOLE X DONALD IKEDA, CHAIR <br /> ONISHI X <br /> YAGONG X PC REPORT NO. 45 <br /> YOSHIMOTO X ADOPTED: OCT 0 7 2009 <br />
