INITIATOR: COUNTY COUNCIL (BILL NO. 120) An Ordinance amending Chapter 24, Article 8, and Chapter 25, Article 1 and Article 4, Division 5, of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as Amended), relating to providing, maintaining, and dedicating parking spaces and charging stations for electric vehicles.

The Commission took up this item at 10:41 a.m. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Au and seconded by Commissioner Galimba that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on Draft Bill 120 with the Planning Director's recommended revisions. A roll call vote was taken, and the motion carried with five ayes (Au, Galimba, Balog, Daniele, Lin). This hearing item ended at 12:41 p.m. [SEE HEARING TRANSCRIPT EXHIBIT C] PLANNING DIRECTOR'S REPORT Report on Special Management Area (SMA) determinations, minor permits and enforcement action issued by the Planning Director. At 12:41 a.m. Chairman Au introduced this item. Ms. Jackson noted that the Short-Form Assessment Log and the SMA Assessment Log were emailed to the Commissioners on May 2, 2022. She pointed out a correction to the SMA Assessment Log for SAA Case Number 34 for Waiakea Villas. The log incorrectly showed a valuation of$573,000.00 when the applicant initially applied, with a change in the request the valuation reduced to $442,260.00 and apparently the SMA Assessment log was not corrected to reflect this change in valuation. She stated the correction will be reflected in the next month's log. Ms. Jackson spoke in regard to testimonies given earlier in the meeting concerning a project in Pepe`ekeo which is currently under review by the Department. She explained this was an SMA assessment which was applied for 2 years ago and was on hold pending receipt of requested information. Apparently, the applicant had removed a structure and fencing out of the public access easement and therefore the Department will shortly be closing that action which will also be reflected in next month's log. She offered to answer any questions regarding those logs. Page 3 of 5 Windward Planning Commission May 5,2022 Minutes
