Kapoho, and the Phoa Village Road, also known as the Kea`au-Pahoa Road. The Stat Department of Transportation owns the Phoa Bypass Road and also owns a portion of the Kea`au-Phoa Road up to the Kahakai-Phoa-Kea`au Road intersection. The remaining portion of the roadway into Phoa Village is owned by the County and under the County's jurisdiction. This particular property was rezoned back in 1991 to Kaneshiro and Sons. At that time, the Kaneshiros wanted to construct a Food Fair Supermarket on their property. The Applicant recently purchased the property from, purchased the pr proposing to build a service station or gas station for eight pumps as well as a convenience store on the property. They are requesting that two conditions be amended. Condition C relates to the imposition of curb, gutters, and sidewalks along Kahakai Boulevard and, again, Kahakai Boulevard is owned by or under the County's jurisdiction. They are also requesting that certain roadway improvements, including turning lanes, be deferred until the, for uses other than the proposed service station. And that also goes for Condition C, to defer those improvements until, and not including the, at the time of proposed service station. We are recommending that current Condition C regarding curbs, the imposition of or installation of curb, gutters, and sidewalk be retained; and that we also, we are recommending that the proposed Condition D, as proposed by the A recommended for approval. So, on one hand, we are recommending that Condition C, as requested by the Applicant, not be approved or not recommended for approval, and on the other hand, we are recommending that Condition D, regarding roadway improvements, be considered. And just as, since this discussion was previously had by, on the previous application regarding the timing of the development and non-compliance, there are some information in the Background Report that the Planning Director at that time, back in 1996, did inform the Applicant, I believe it was Kaneshiro and Sons at that time, that they would, the Planning Department will initiate rezoning of the property due to non-compliance. Subsequently, the Applicant did come in for a time extension. Then again back in the year 2000, the early part of 2000, the County Council requested the Planning Director to initiate down zoning of this property back to Agricultural-1 acre. Since that request came down, the Applicant did submit another time extension request to, time extension request, and that was subsequently processed. So this particular application is still classified as Commercial, I mean this property is still classified as Commercial. GALDONES:Commissioners, any questions of Norman? Seeing none, will the Applicant or representative please step forward. Bill, could you raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? MOORE:I do. 2
