PC -76 Page 2 August 20, 2014 the necessary requirements would need to be in compliance should the rezoning be approved. Committee members held two rounds of discussion. Mr. Onishi requested representatives from the Planning Department, Planning Program Manager Daryn Arai and Deputy Planning Director Bobby Command, and the Department from Public Works, Director Warren Lee, to come before your Committee and explain to the public on the happenings with this particular process. All representatives explained the application process through their respective department, which basically concluded that the application was handled by what the applicant had submitted. Committee members expressed strong concern of the intended use of the structure while viewing three photographs, submitted by the Hilo testifier, which appears to be in violation of what was permitted. Confirmed by the Planning Department representatives, complaints were received, investigations were conducted accordingly, and with recent findings, a citation will be issued to the applicant. After a lengthy discussion, a motion was made by Committee Member Wille, to postpone this item to the call of the Chair; however, this motion had failed with six noes. Your Committee agreed to move forward with respects to both the Planning Department and the Department of Public Works, that corrective actions will be initiated by the next Council meeting. Should there be no corrective action to report by the next Council meeting, a motion to postpone may be made at that time. RECOMMENDATION: Positive; passage of Bill No. 278 at first reading. For the record, Committee Member Kanuha voted "kanalua," then "aye."
