WOODWARD: Commissioner Domingo. <br /> DOMINGO: Just another way to be assured that with these use permits the public will be given <br /> the opportunity to respond through public hearing? <br /> ARAI: Absolutely because the process will require publication in the newspaper as well as <br /> surrounding property owner notification. <br /> WOODWARD: Okay, any further questions? <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: And -. <br /> WOODWARD: Madam Director. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: By way of background where, you know, we try to catch things as things <br /> come along but it's very difficult sometimes to do comprehensive review and rewriting of our <br /> Codes. Where this one came up was the top of Halai Hill is Open and there were plans to put a <br /> telecommunications tower up on top of Halai Hill, and it's smack dab next to residential <br /> property. But under our current Code it's permitted and there was no requirement to get any type <br /> of a permit. But we also started looking at the entire Open district and felt that this was more <br /> appropriate so that there was some public input before a tower went up in some of these areas. <br /> Because in many cases some of these Open areas are where you're likely to get some of the <br /> strongest opposition to a tower going up. <br /> WOODWARD: Okay, thank you. Any further discussion? Okay, let's take a vote. Mr. Arai. <br /> KERN: Do we have a motion? <br /> WOODWARD: Oh, don't have a motion? We didn't -? <br /> GONZALEZ: No. <br /> WOODWARD: Oh, let's have a motion first. <br /> DOMINGO: Okay, Mr. Chairman, I'll comply with your wish. I move that we send a favorable <br /> recommendation to the County Council with regards to amending Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), <br /> Articles 2, 4 and 5 of the Hawaii County Code, 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended). <br /> KERN: Second. <br /> WOODWARD: Okay, it has been moved and seconded. Any discussion? No, yes? <br /> Commissioner Kern. <br /> 2 <br />
