Home

maybe 10 or so, are used in a similar way, for short-term vacation rental use. And, again, many of these houses are large and expensive right along the shoreline. As for using the under-house space, I think that is kind of moving into the wrong direction with respect to the shoreline, as it gets you closer to the water. We want to keep all the wastewater treatment on the mauka side as close to Alii Drive as practical, and I think the technical difficulty is of doing any work like that underneath the house make it a little impractical. Did I answer your question? (No audible response) VITOUSEK: Okay, we've had a pretty good discussion on this. Is there a motion someone would like to make? Oh, go ahead, Mr. Lindsey. LINDSEY: Just one point on the potential construction of a, you know, septic system. You the DOH does not allow septic systems under house; they require five feet from a wall line and five feet from a property line. So you are basically looking at, best case scenario, a five-foot sliver, you know, between the house and the property line,just as a practicality. VITOUSEK: Thank you. Commissioner Van Pernis. VAN PERNIS: Variances are allowed for such cases. Thank you. VITOUSEK: You know, I, for me, in kind of trying to digest what's going on, you know, obviously the best solution for the wastewater would be connection to sewer, but I like the concept of including language about contribution to a sewer district in the event that one is formed, because that would be the best solution; even including a septic would be a temporary Band-Aid that could be an added cost if an actual sewer was to come into the area. Again, you know, I ask anybody if you'd like to make a motion now that we've had a pretty good question-and-answer session with the applicant. And we can continue our discussion after a motion has been made. Commissioner Carr Smith. CARR SMITH: Thank you—wait, sorry, hold on. I move that the application for Use Permit number 21-000085 be approved based on the planning director's [sic] recommendation, which shall be adopted. VITOUSEK: Would itoh, can we have a second? KEALOHA: I'll go ahead and second that. VITOUSEK: Thank you. For discussion purposes, would you be amenable to including the proposed language by Mr. Pipan about possible contribution to a sewer district in the event that one is formed, a fair share contribution to a sewer district? CARR SMITH: I understand that concept, and what I understood John to say was discussion and I might have missed something—he talked about an improvement district where all property owners in the area would contribute. I have a little bit of issue putting onus on this specific property owner and not the others. 14 EXHIBIT B
