Home

REPLOGLE: Yes, ma'am. ANDREWS: Okay, the application is for the County of Hawaii Department of Public Works, Building Division and this is an application to amend the Special Permit Number 09-84. Okay, so the location is in the South Hilo District and you can see on this screen the site, the TMK is outlined in red it's just mauka of Downtown Hilo. The Applicant is requesting a five (5) time extension to comply with Condition Number 5 which is time to complete construction and also a project scope reduction of the Special Permit Number 09-84. The Special Permit was originally issued in 2009 to allow the construction of a Fire Administrative Support Complex, a Fire and Police Dispatch Center and related uses. The Applicant has proposed downsizing the project to include the Dispatch Center, Site Infrastructure, the Radio Tower, Dormitory and Parking. On the Zoning Map you can see the parcel outlined in red and it is zoned Ag-la, one (1) acre and nearby zoning is RS-10, Multi-Family RM-Four (4) and Three (3) that is the Senior Housing just makai of the property and there's a Project District in light purple and University in dark purple also, RS-7.5 zoning. State Land Use Boundary Map is designated Agriculture for this parcel just adjacent to the parcel is Urban State Land Use in pink there and the parcel is designated as Medium-Density Urban in the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map nearby is University Use in the dark blue as well as Low Density Urban nearby as well as Rural designation. These two (2) site plans show the original site plan which was proposed with the original Special permit on the left there and then on the right you see the newly proposed revised site plan. You can see that the Emergency Call Center which is the Dispatch Center is still in the same location. The tower has moved from the rear of that Call Center to the front of the Call Center closer to Mohouli Street. There is also a parking area that has downsized and shifted just makai of the Emergency Call Center, but this allows you to see the comparison of the proposed versus the revised site plan. An aerial photograph shows the Mohouli Senior Living just makai of the property and the property is currently undeveloped. On the left is a view of Mohouli Street facing east showing the entry drive that would be used to access the property and on the right showing the view facing west on Mohouli Street showing the right-hand turn into the access drive. The next slide shows the subject parcel is currently underdeveloped, vegetated, and this would be the view from Mohouli Street. The Planning Director is recommendation is approval with conditions. I can take any questions at this time. REPLOGLE: Thank you Jessica. Any questions from the Commissioners? Mr. Clarkson? CLARKSON: Yes, I'm wondering why for a project like a rezone application wouldn't be more appropriate would not have any time limits, wouldn't have had to be doing this if it didn't rezoned originally. I'm just curious as to why a Use permit was applied rather than a Rezone. ANDREWS: Yeah, well originally in 2009 it was the Special permit and I don't know if the Applicants ever considered a Rezone we could ask them about that question but, at this time we are just considering the time extension for the Special permit since they are in State Land Use Agricultural. 2 EXHIBIT B
