The applicant in this case, Waikoloa Development Company, is requesting a six-year time <br />extension to Condition 12 of Special Management Area Use Permit No. 25. Condition 12 has to <br />do with the construction deadline to complete this particular golf course that we are looking at in <br />this area. Originally, Special Management Area Use Permit No. 25 was approved in February <br />1977 to allow 3,000 hotel rooms, as well as 3,430 multiple family residential units, 2 golf <br />courses and related recreational, commercial and support facilities on the property. There have <br />been several amendments; in 1985, they had an amendment to allow the Hilton, or the Hyatt <br />Regency Hotel which I believe now is the Hilton Waikoloa. Additionally they allowed two <br />additional golf courses on the property. One of those golf courses is what we are looking at <br />today. This particular golf course has come in for administrative time extensions, as well as in <br />1991 they had asked for a six-year time extension from the Planning Commission. As such, they <br />will need to come back to the Planning Commission each time that they need an additional time <br />extension. So again this request is for additional six years to complete this No. 3 golf course on <br />the property. <br />Since the Background and the Recommendation have been distributed to the Commissioners, we <br />have received two comment letters: One from the Department of Transportation, one from the <br />Department of Environmental Management. We’ve also received a letter from attorney William <br />Yuen, representative for the applicant, further explaining the reasons for the time extension. <br />This was dated January 10, and hopefully the Commission was able to get a copy of that. As <br />well as recently we received a letter of opposition from Philip Manela; he resides at Unit 902 in <br />the Waikoloa Colony Villas, which is located roughly in this particular area here in the resort <br />complex. <br />The Planning Director has added several conditions to the Permit: Conditions 24 to 26. These <br />are relating to an integrated golf course management plan. The Planning Director is <br />recommending that this amendment request for a six-year time extension to Condition 12 of <br />SMA 25 be approved by the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? <br />GRAHAM: Jeff, I think it looks to me like your map up there is both the Mauna Lani <br />and the Waikoloa place. Could you kind of show us what’s what as far as the Waikoloa Beach <br />Course and the Waikoloa King’s Course, which are both in existence now, and then exactly <br />where this third course would be and where maybe a fourth course might be, if there is a permit <br />for two more? <br />HAYASHI: I guess I’m more familiar since I’m the golfer of the group. This is the <br />Waikoloa Beach Drive going towards the resort, and the Waikoloa Beach Golf Course is <br />generally in this configuration.The King’s Course would be located in this particular area; that <br />would be in close proximity to the Mauna Lani Resort. The two other proposed golf courses <br />would be in this area here and the Waikoloa Homesites Venture’s golf course, which is the <br />subject of this request, would be in this general configuration. <br />GRAHAM: Okay, thanks. And since I think the ‘91 permit allowed up to two further <br />golf courses and we are only talking about one golf course here, what is the status of the <br />additional golf course? <br />EXHIBIT C <br />2 <br /> <br />
