1 ) WINDWARD PLANNING COMMISSION COUNTY OF HAWAII HEARING TRANSCRIPT AUGUST 12, 2010 A regularly advertised hearing on the PLANNING DIRECTOR INITIATED AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 25, FILING FEE FOR USE PERMIT was called to order at 10:25 a.m. in the County of Hawai`i Councilroom, County Building, 25 Aupuni Street, Hilo, Hawai`i, with Chairman Rell Woodward presiding. COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Rell Woodward, Dean Au, Takashi Domingo, Andrew Iwashita, and Zendo Kern. STAFF PRESENT: Brandon Gonzalez (Deputy Corporation Counsel), BJ Leithead Todd (Planning Director), Daryn Arai (Planning Program Manager), Phyllis Fujimoto (Staff Planner), Jeff Darrow (Staff Planner) and Maija Cottle (Staff Planner). ABSENT AND EXCUSED: Wallace Ishibashi And 10 people from the public in attendance. INITIATOR: PLANNING DIRECTOR Amendment to Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended) relating to Filing Fee for a Use Permit Application. WOODWARD: Next item on the agenda, Item No. 5, Planning Director initiated amendment to Chapter 25, the Hawai`i County Code, relating to filing fee for Use Permit Application. ARAI: Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Commissioners. The purpose of the proposed amendment, the Commissioners may recall that they recently amended the Planning Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure to amend the filing fee and increased it from $250 to $500. Upon adoption of that rule we realized that the County Code was not amended to increase the filing fee, a similar amount to $500. So this is simply an effort to make the Hawai`i Zoning Code consistent with the recently adopted rules of practice and procedure. So I stand ready to answer any questions that you may have. WOODWARD: So this is just housekeeping? ARAI: Yes. WOODWARD: Okay, any questions? Riveting. I see we have nobody signed up from the public to testify. Do we Sharon? No? 1
