PC-29 Page 3 August 6,2019 Council Member Karen Eoff asked if additional language in Condition I could be included to allay the flooding fears of the neighbors. Mr. Darrow suggested replacing "issuance of a construction permit"to "issuance of any land altering permit"in the second sentence. Chair Kierkiewicz asked Mr. Linder for his thoughts around the suggested amendment to Condition I and the discussion in general. Mr. Linder clarified that the grubbing permit had been issued so that the drainage study required could be accurately and successfully completed. He said that they had already hired a licensed civil engineer for the drainage study, and they required that a licensed surveyor complete a topography survey in order for them to complete an accurate drainage study. The surveyor could not perform this task without the property being cleared,thus the grubbing permit had been obtained. Chair Kierkiewicz noted that grubbing need to be complete in order to obtain an accurate assessment of potential flooding and mitigation measures, and that nothing would be constructed on the subject property until mitigation measures (if necessary) had been reviewed and approved. Council Chair Chung stated that the technical expertise of both Public Works and Planning needed to be relied upon by the Committee. Council Members Maile David and Matt Kaneali'i-Kleinfelder added a few comments in concurrence and that they were also in favor of the measure. Mr. Linder responded to a question from Chair Kierkiewicz about timeframe for scheduled work, and noted that he anticipated the survey would be completed by the end of the week and that the civil engineer conducting the drainage study would have their study completed within two weeks after receipt of the topographic survey. There would be no further work on the lot until the completion of the drainage study. Chair Kierkiewicz said based on the information from the applicant's representative and the drainage study already in motion, she did not see a need for amending Condition 1, and was comfortable moving the measure forward to the Council as is. She noted that amendments to the bill could be entertained at first reading, depending on the information gleaned from the drainage study. The vote was then taken on the motion to move this measure to Council with a positive recommendation and passed with nine "ayes." Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 90, and recommends its passage on first reading. ck AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, CHUNG X DAVID X COMMITTEE ON PLANNING EOFF X KIERKIEWICZ X KANEALI'l-KLEINFELDER X LEE LOY X POINDEXTER X ASHLEY L.
