However, the Leeward Planning Commission only considered and issued an unfavorable recommendation on Bill 291 because the Planning Director's proposed bill was not properly included on the agenda and,therefore, could not be considered. The Planning Director, in response to Bill 291,has introduced a proposed bill relating to PUD's for consideration by both the Leeward and Windward Planning Commissions and would like to ask the County Council to hold action on Bill 291 until both Planning Commissions have had an opportunity to act on the Planning Director's proposed bill, which we anticipate will occur in the months of January and February 2013. In the meanwhile, we have enclosed a copy of the Planning Director's Background and Recommendation regarding Bill No.291 and a copy of the Leeward Planning Commission hearing transcript for your information. If you have questions regarding this matter,please contact Daryn Arai of the Planning Department at 961-8142. cerely, Geraldine Giffin, Chai_rm.1lp Leeward Planning Commission cc: Planning Department—Kona Ivan Torigoe, Esq.
