COTTLE: Yes, so the change that the Council made in 2010 is shown on Page 1 of your <br /> background report, and it shows that initially an applicant had to notify surrounding owners within <br /> ten days of filing the application, and the Council changed it to where they would have to notify <br /> within ten days of receiving a letter from the Planning Department saying we've accepted your <br /> application. And the reason they made the change was that often times an applicant would file <br /> their application with us, and they would send out a notice to their neighbors of the application, <br /> and then we would have changes that needed to be made to the application, we wouldn't accept it, <br /> there was missing information. So we'd have neighbors calling us, saying, you know, what's <br /> going on with this application, can you give me information, and we haven't even accepted it yet. <br /> So this just, I think,makes the process a little bit more effective and less confusing for neighbors <br /> of applications. <br /> GIFFIN: I agree. Thank you very much. Commissioners, any questions of Maija? Hearing none, <br /> do I hear a motion? <br /> WHITTEMORE: I'd like to move that we approve the Planning Director's amendment to Chapter <br /> 25, the Zoning Code, the Hawai`i County Code 1983, amended 2005. <br /> GIFFIN: Okay, this is going, the motion should say something about our sending a favorable <br /> recommendation to the County Council. <br /> WHITTEMORE: Move for a favorable recommendation. <br /> GIFFIN: Okay. Dickie. <br /> NELSON: Second. <br /> GIFFIN: It has been moved by Commissioner Whittemore and seconded by Commissioner <br /> Nelson that we send a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the amendment to <br /> Chapter 25, Zoning, of the Hawai`i County Code established in 1983 and the 2005 edition, <br /> relating to notification requirements for zoning amendment,project district and agricultural project <br /> district applications. I think we are ready for a vote. <br /> COTTLE: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Whittemore? <br /> WHITTEMORE: Aye. <br /> COTTLE: Commissioner Nelson? <br /> NELSON: Aye. <br /> COTTLE: Commissioner Bowman? <br /> BOWMAN: Aye. <br /> COTTLE: And Madam Chair? <br /> 2 <br />
