WINDWARD PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> HEARING TRANSCRIPT <br /> JUNE 4, 2010 <br /> A regularly advertised hearing on COUNTY COUNCIL BILL 194 was called to order at <br /> 10:52 a.m. in the County of Hawai`i, Aupuni Center Conference Room, 101 Pauahi Street, Hilo, <br /> Hawai`i, with Chairman Rell Woodward presiding. <br /> COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Rell Woodward, Dean Au, Takashi Domingo (left at 12 <br /> noon), Zendo Kern, and Wallace Ishibashi. <br /> STAFF PRESENT: Brandon Gonzalez (Deputy Corporation Counsel), BJ Leithead Todd <br /> (Planning Director), Norman Hayashi (Planning Program Manager), Daryn Arai (Planning <br /> Program Manager), Phyllis Fujimoto (Staff Planner), Jeff Darrow (Staff Planner) and Maija <br /> Cottle (Staff Planner). <br /> And 7 people from the public in attendance. <br /> ABSENT AND EXCUSED: Stephen Ono <br /> INITIATOR: COUNTY COUNCIL (BILL 194) <br /> Amendments to the Puna Community Development Plan (Puna CDP) as reflected in Bill 194 and <br /> Communication 664. <br /> WOODWARD: The second item on the agenda is amendment to the Puna Community <br /> Development Plan as reflected in Bill 194 and Communication 664. Planning Director, you're in <br /> charge. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: What we have before us are County Council initiated amendments to the <br /> Puna Community Development Plan as incorporated in Bill 194. Bill 194 was introduced by the <br /> County Council, and then transmitted to me, and I then transmitted it to the Puna Community <br /> Development Action Committee. The Action Committee then submitted their advice to me, and <br /> I agreed in part and disagreed in part with their recommendations; and that is included in my <br /> letter to you. And one of the issues was whether they could make substantive amendments to <br /> Bill 194. And I felt that there were a number of things that they raised that would have to be <br /> brought in as separate amendments, which we are in the process of drafting. <br /> So what I'm asking for is that you basically submit a recommendation to the County Council that <br /> they approve Bill 194 with the various recommendations I made. And maybe perhaps going <br /> through them would be easier. I tried to do my recommendation to respond to the advice given <br /> by the Action Committee. <br /> ATTACH: Corn. 664.4 <br /> 1 <br />
