Law Offices of Yeh & Moore ATTORNEYS AT LAW A Limited Liability Law Company Chairman Hoffman and Members of the Planning Committee June 14, 2012 Page 2 (Parcel 3-Road Parcel) As for TMK No. (3) 2-2-044:003 (Parcel 3), which is a road parcel owned by the Margaret Hirose Trust, we have enclosed a tax map which depicts Parcel 3 and which is lightly shaded for your identification(Attachment"A"). Parcel 3 is a lot consisting of 4,987 square feet, and is also considered by the Real Property Tax Division as a road lot for tax purposes. It is non-conforming, and due to its size and shape, is not capable of development, due to setback and related considerations. As discussed at the last meeting, First Hawaiian Bank, which was named as the Successor Trustee for the Trust, declined to accept this position (copy of February 12, 2012 letter from First Hawaiian Bank, Attachment "B"). When the last time extension was sought, the then Trustee, Helen Doi, did indicate support for the time extension request (Attachment"C"). Graphic Images provided notice to the known beneficiaries of the Trust when it sought the current time extension request. However, no one has requested or been appointed to take the Successor Trustee position. The Corporation Counsel, Planning Department and Windward Planning Commission have correctly concluded since there as been no request by the owner of Parcel 3 to include that parcel as part of the current time extension request, that the proposed form of the Bill need not include Parcel 3. Road Improvements Condition J addresses the requirement that accesses to the property meet with the requirements and approval of the Planning Director, in consultation with the Department of Public Works ("DPW") and DOT. Graphic Images is committed to working with those agencies on providing safe access. The Department of Public Works did not comment on this time extension request. However, we note that Condition I, which was based upon prior input from DPW, requires that the south side of Kahaopea Street shall be improved and widened with the construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements, with pavement widening and transitions. Graphic Images has no issues with this condition.
