with it, and they would like to see it. If you start over with a term and a new group of people, and if you’ve had a number of meetings and discussions on it, you’re going to have several members who haven’t seen the discussion. WATANABE: Thank you. Mr. Woodward. WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman, I’d just like to address a couple of Commissioner Alameda’s concerns about the number of these Community Development Plans that we might get in a short period of time. I would have to say that since this is a process that’s been going on in a community for a year or two, and has been decided by the community, unless there is something really egregious, we are not going to object to it. And it would be sort of presumptuous of us to say -. You know, unless this was one particular fashion in one community that wanted to do, you know, build a nuclear power plant or something, short of something like that, I think we are not going to have a lot of work to do; we’re going to review it, we’re going to say, okay, this is what you want, that’s good with us. And so, yeah, there is going to be a lot of paperwork, but I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of decisions that we have to make, to be quite honest with you. WATANABE: Thank you. I think we’ve run the gamut, so I’ll add my two cents. I think what the Director is trying to achieve here is balance, you know, balance between not only the power but the timeliness also. And that’s where you’re sticking with the 60 days on this recommendation. Now whether the timeliness is 60 or 90 days, I’m not certain. But I do think that overall this proposal is a good amendment; at least it puts some timeframe, some stated timeframe, so that it can’t get held up here, and eventually will get to the Council. With that, if everyone is completed with their comments, maybe we can take a vote. So again, we are looking at a recommendation for amendment to Chapter 2, Article 7, Hawaii County Code 1983, and I believe the motion was for the 90-day period; it was revised to the 90-day period. So, Jeff. DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion before us is to send a favorable recommendation for the Planning Director’s initiated amendment to the County Code regarding the Planning Commission’s review of the draft CDP with the amendment to change 60 days to 90 days. With that, I’ll take the roll. Commissioner Woodward? WOODWARD: Aye. DARROW: Commissioner Rho? RHO: Aye. DARROW: Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA: Aye. DARROW: Commissioner Bowman? BOWMAN: No. DARROW: Commissioner Domingo? EXHIBIT B 17
