Mr. Dean Au, Chairperson and Members of the Windward Planning Commission Page 5 of 9 June 1, 2022 #9 Condition: This Condition shall be included in the Special Use Permit. The permit shall include dates of public participation and which adjacent property owners were sent permit application notices. Applicant's Response: The Applicant has provided the Planning Department with affidavits on when service was made to surrounding property owners within 1,000 feet of the project site as well as posting of a public notice sign fronting the project site. The listing of all property owners served by mail was included with the affidavits. The Applicant has had dialogue with the KPFA on the following dates: • April 12, 2022—Zoom meeting between Applicant and KPFA • April 17, 2022—On-site inspection of project site by KPFA members • May 16, 2022— Second on-site inspection by KPFA members • April 13, 2022 to present—a number of emails and phone discussions with KPFA President and member Nako`olani Warrington. Notice of the filing of the Special Permit application with the County was served upon landowners within 1,000 feet of the project site on March 21, 2022. Notice of the Windward Planning Commission meeting on this matter was similarly served on May 16, 2022. #10 Condition: This Condition shall be included in the Special Use Permit. The permit shall include the date of the most recent General Plan and the date and name of the official Community Development Plan referenced in the Special Permit Use. The permit shall clearly indicate which Community Development Plan is being referenced, and if in fact, the referenced CDP has been adopted into the County Code. Applicant's Response: The General Plan referenced within the Special Permit application was dated February 2005 and adopted by Ordinance No. 05-025 with an effective date of February 9, 2005, as subsequently amended. No CDP was referenced within the Special Permit application since there is no updated CDP for the South Hilo District beyond the 1975 Hilo Community Development Plan (HCDP). The Planning Director's Background Report did note that the HCDP does identify the permit area as Agricultural-5 acres (A-5a).
