that’s in a less visible area on the property. That contractor’s base yard was to be allowed with certain conditions but it was supposed to be limited to a one-ace area. There were some things that had to be done where the one-acre area had to be outlined by metes and bounds by a surveyor and there’s also a requirement for final plan approval. Final plan approval is a type of application that’s reviewed by the Planning Department. It’s like a site plan, in this case, and it would show where the buildings would go. It would also show how the landscaping would be put in. This site was required to have landscaping consistent with an industrial area adjoining a single family residential area. So none of these had happened as of -. The permit was granted in August 2005. None of these had happened as of the one-year deadline in August 2006. The Department wrote a letter asking for action. There was a response that the Department did not see as a response that really addressed or solved the issues; and we brought this to the Commission for a revocation. So what we have is an opportunity for the applicant to explain the time delays in this and then the Commission can decide what to do. The Department will also review whether we would consider withdrawing our request for revocation if we see progress from the applicant. You know, I drove by there yesterday or the day before yesterday. The equipment that was parked on the visible area of the property has been removed in between the last meeting and the current, and a couple of days ago. We have not had the final plan approval application, nor the description of the site by metes and bounds, nor the landscaping plan. GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Yuen. You folks can respond or present whatever facts or information you think is valuable to the Planning Commission here today as we decide where we go with this matter. And what I would ask is that each one of you before you speak give your name and address so that it goes on the record for the notes that we’re taking and then go ahead at your own discretion. MIRANDA: Okay, I’m Melvin Miranda. My mailing address is PO Box 2000, Kamuela, Hawaii. Gee, I forgot my physical address right now but -. Anyway, I’d like to talk about the Exhibit A I think that you folks have. It’s about the building inspection notice. I’m in the process of putting up a building, a shop, or warehouse; and the foundation has been, all the footing has been put in place with rebar and everything ready to be poured. And the inspector rd came out on April 3 and inspected it and everything passed, and there’s nothing wrong with the whole foundation slab. So we’re just waiting to get concrete now to pour it, which may happen hopefully early next week as soon as the concrete is available. If you have any questions? I think you have pictures in front of you that will show the site that I’m talking about. It’s like listed as C-1 and C-3. Commissioner Siracusa, you had something? SIRACUSA: Yes, but I have to be recognized by the Chair. GRAHAM: You’re ready for questions from the Commission at this point, sir? MIRANDA: Yes. If you have any questions about those two pictures, I can answer anything. GRAHAM: All right. Commissioner Siracusa? EXHIBIT A 3
