Landowner: G & I Watumull Limited Partnership TMK: (3) 7-5-007:023 Location: 75-5725 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 Ms. Bugado gave a PowerPoint presentation, and described the project. She said that the subject restaurant was moving its location across Sarona Road, that a new exhaust duct would be installed on the rear of the building facing Sarona Road, and that no other changes to the exterior of the building or landscaping was proposed. Upon inquiry by Commissioner Smith, Ms. Bugado said that although no color sample was provided, the plan indicated that the color of the duct would match the building. Chairman Roth asked how the applicant would address noise from the exhaust fan. Ms. Bugado responded that the application did not include any information about noise concerns, and that noise was not a matter controlled by the Planning Department, nor was it considered in the Master Plan for Kailua-Kona. Commissioner Sullenberger noted that the business would have to comply with the County noise ordinance. Commissioner Smith also noted that noise was regulated by the state Department of Health. Ms. Bugado mentioned that the project would require a building permit, for which an application had been submitted earlier in Hilo and got held off pending this Commission review, and that the Department of Health, along with the Fire Department, was part of the permit review process. Neither the applicant nor his representative was present. Commissioner Hetherington asked if there was a reason for installing the duct on the outside of the building rather than the interior. Ms. Bugado responded that based on the floor plan there appeared to be limited space in the kitchen area. Commissioner Hetherington commented that he was fine with the proposal as long as the duct was painted to blend with the wall and would in effect disappear. It was moved by Commissioner Smith and seconded by Commissioner Sullenberger that the Commission recommend approval of the project as submitted. There being no discussion on the motion, a roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with seven ayes (Smith, Sullenberger, Ching, Crusat, Hetherington, Ikeuchi and Werchick), no noes, and one absent and excused (Kern). 2.
