Home

Location: 75-5776 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI Ms. Newlon (Staff) commenced her Power point presentation starting with applicant Papa Kona Coffee and Events LLC (previously Chart House), who proposed to do non- structural repairs and modifications to the interior and exterior of the Papa Kona Restaurant located in the Waterfront Row of Alii Drive. The applicant did need to do an SMA assessment, because they are a shoreline parcel and also required to do a Kailua Village Design review. There were no changes to the second level. Ms. Newlon shared photos provided by the applicant of the existing brace covered by plywood sheathing and another photo of what the exposed glass looks like. There was a Plan Approval done in 2017 and a Variance Application. After the presentation Commissioner Smith asked if the project had already been completed. Commissioner Hetherington mentioned that he was asked to do some work on the project previously and believed that most of the work had been done. The applicant Anna White responded to the question raised by Commissioner Smith and confirmed that the work was completed, they opened the restaurant on October 15, 2020 and advised by a DPW inspector that they could move forward with their project using their Alteration Permit. Commissioner Ikeuchi commented that the exposed beam and glass looks really classy and thought that it was really nice that the applicant thought of bringing back its original integrity. A motion was made by Commissioner Ikeuchi to approve the application as submitted and Commissioner Werchick seconded the motion. There were no discussions on the motion, and a roll call vote was taken. The motion was carried with eight ayes: (Commissioner's Ching, Crusat, Hetherington, Kern, Smith, Sullenberger, Ikeuchi and Werchick). Chairman Roth—Motion adopted. 2.
