COTTLE: The"B"on the first page was to show you the change that the Council made back in 2010. And then <br /> if you look at the proposed bill that we have, on the second page, you'll see that it still has the old language. <br /> KERN: And so that is going to stay. What's stricken out is going to be removed and what is underlined is <br /> going to be put in,is that right? <br /> COTTLE: Correct. <br /> KERN: So with that there is nothing in there that says anything about 10 days. It's basically just totally taken <br /> out? <br /> COTTLE: Right. So if you look at the bill,this section of the Zoning Code refers back to Section 25-2-4. So <br /> we took out any reference in this part of the Code to the number of days. But it refers back to 25-2-4,which <br /> refers to the 10 days. <br /> KERN: Which takes care of that, 10 days-. <br /> COTTLE: Yeah. <br /> KERN: Perfect. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: And-. <br /> KERN: Madam Director,yes. <br /> LEITHEAD TODD: It eliminates the potential that the same type of mistake occurs in the future. Like any <br /> time you have multiple references to timelines in a Code when you go and amend one section you need to go <br /> and amend all the others. By removing the reference to ten days in these sections and referring back to just that <br /> one section that talks about notification,then all you have to do is if you want to change it to 15 days you just <br /> change that one section; and everything else comes into line because it just refers back. And so these are the <br /> kinds of problems that we're encountering when a bill gets initiated and one section-. Unless you carefully at <br /> that time go running through every section of the Code, you sometimes don't discover until afterwards that <br /> there's some inconsistencies. And this will take of the potential for future inconsistencies by just removing the <br /> language. <br /> KERN: Great. Thank you,Madam Director. And thank you,Maija,I appreciate that clarification. There is <br /> nobody signed up from the public to testify on this. With that,anyone willing to entertain a motion. Anyone? <br /> Commissioner Au. <br /> AU: So moved. <br /> DOMINGO: Second. <br /> KERN: So moved to-? <br /> AU: I move to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council to amend Chapter 25 of Hawai`i <br /> County Code 1983 relating to the notification requirements for zoning amendment,project district and <br /> agricultural project district applications. <br /> KERN: Per the Director's-. <br /> 2 <br />
