. The Honorable J Yoshimoto, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 2 assure adequate time for plan approval review and in accordance with Chapter 25- 244 (Zoning Code), plans shall be submitted to the Planning Department a minimum of forty-five days prior to the date by which Final Plan Approval must be secured. Plans to be submitted shall indicate existing and proposed structures, parking associated with the proposed commercial uses, driveway circulation and landscaping. The applicant shall site the proposed commercial structures and provide landscaping for the purpose of mitigating noise and visual impacts to adjacent properties." Condition D states: "construction of the proposed development shall commence within one year from the date of receipt of Final Plan Approval and be completed within one year thereafter." The original owner, Walter T. Yamaguchi, was granted a change of zone from RS-10 to CV-10 to allow the establishment of various automobile-related businesses including, but not limited to, a full service auto and truck repair shop, auto parts warehouse/retail outlet and a body & fender shop. The property was previously the site of the Pahoa Gas-N-Go service station, which has since been demolished. The proposed various automobile-related businesses was not constructed by the original owner and the property is currently vacant of uses and structures. The property was sold in 2000 to Hara Land Development with the intention to build a new Pahoa Cash and Carry. The applicant now intends to build the Pahoa Office Plaza. The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicant, successors or assigns, and that are not the result or their fault or negligence. Hara Land Development purchased the property with the intention to build a new Pahoa Cash and Carry. As a result of several conditions beyond their control, including the changed economic situation, the delay in completing the plans for the Pahoa Cash & Carry project, and the opening of the Malama Market and other similar commercial stores in the area, the applicant has decided to shelve their previous plans to relocate the Pahoa Cash and Carry store on the property and requests a 5-year time extension to construct the a new Pahoa Office Plaza. Approval of this request would not be contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code nor the original reasons for the granting of the Change of Zone. There has not been any significant changes to the General Plan for this area or the Zoning Code
