RAFFIPIY: All right, thank you. It's been moved by Commissioner Au and seconded by
<br /> Commissioner Aguinaldo that this application be forwarded the County Council on, based on the
<br /> Planning Director's, Planning Director's recommendation. Any discussion? Okay, Joe, go
<br /> ahead.
<br /> CLARKSON: Yes this is, I'm having a hard time remembering where we're at on this time
<br /> limit condition. This to me looks like a perfectly natural case where this property could, should
<br /> be, and easily could be in commercial zoning. Can't we delete the time limit so that it just
<br /> [noise disturbance] they can do it whenever they want to and not do it or sell the property or
<br /> whatever and a—and if Christian could mute there, thank you. What is the recommendation of
<br /> the Director?
<br /> CLAY: That would be great to lift the time limit, especially with the condition that, the way
<br /> everything is right now, maybe we can extend it.
<br /> CLARKSON: Director Yee, what is your reaction to just removing the five-year time limit?
<br /> YEE: I want Jeff to chime in. He has more experience with the issues with time limits, please.
<br /> REPLOGLE: Go ahead, Jeff.
<br /> RAFFIPIY: Jeff, go ahead.
<br /> DARROW: Thank you. Aloha, Commissioners and Applicants. We recently went to County
<br /> Council with one of the rezoning applications that the Planning Commission did take out the
<br /> timing requirement, and I gotta say, it was, it was a pretty tough battle up there. So, I mean, they
<br /> were, they really, it feels like the Council itself really wants to see a timing factor on the
<br /> applications. The particular one that went up,there was some factors that they, they were okay
<br /> with. This one I think would be a little different being that this is a brand-new rezoning. There
<br /> hasn't been anything done, there's improvements. The, I understand your direction,
<br /> Commissioner Clarkson, that your thinkingI mean and this is what we discussed about going
<br /> through all those hearings on timing and time extensions and everything that the, if the area is
<br /> appropriate for the zoning, why, why is timing such an issue, you know? Why do we care about
<br /> when they build it, you know, we're concerned about the land use, and again we agree with that,
<br /> but I think overall, we have to come to a consensus between the Department, the Commission,
<br /> and the Council. I mean, the Commission has every right to forward a recommendation to the
<br /> Council, and we can go up there and speak with them again about it, but they, I kind of feel that
<br /> on this particular one, they may feel differently on the last one. They understand the whole
<br /> picture that we were trying to get at,that the Commission was trying to present as far as timing
<br /> shouldn't be a matter in these issues, but they wanted to see some pressure on the actual
<br /> development of the property for those commercial uses and for the improvements that are
<br /> required in connection with those improvements.
<br /> Again, if—if the matter of the five years is an issue, that can be adjusted, but I think our,the
<br /> Department" "the Commission consider the timing condition to go forward up to Council.
