said he hoped that future CDPs would include 10-year growth lines and viewed as hard lines, adding there should be 5-year reviews of those lines for possible expansion. Director Leithead Todd pointed out that the General Plan is the guiding document if there is any perceived conflict between the Puna Community Development Plan and the General Plan, and the General Plan has this area designated as Industrial, which is consistent with previously approved applications in this area. Director Leithead Todd agreed that there is a certain amount of flexibility in interpreting the CDP, but she felt because there was a rush to get the Puna CDP done it did not include some of the areas that absolutely made sense to have the Industrial area included in the urban town area, noting one would want some separation between the industrial and more commercial/residential areas of an urban setting. Commissioner Domingo commented it has never been on his mind to question this application, speaking highly of Dr. Don Seaton as a man whose character and work to help farmers have been widely respected. A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with six ayes (Iwashita, Domingo, Au, Ishibashi, Kern, and Woodward). On the Change of Zone Application, it was moved by Commissioner Iwashita and seconded by Commissioner Domingo to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the reasons and with the conditions as recommended by the Planning Director, with Condition E amended to widen Milo Street an additional 20 feet, to have the road boundary co-terminus with the approximately 80-foot wide State-owned portion of Milo Street. Mr.Yeh at this time reiterated their request to replace the curb, gutter, and sidewalk requirement in Condition F with the applicant complying with the standards outlined in Standard Details for Public Works Construction R-34 (revised). Commissioner Iwashita felt because Ulupono Center and this whole area will have curbs, gutters and sidewalks, this area should not be any different. Ms. Leithead Todd said she would prefer to leave the condition as requested by the Department of Public Works, but the Commission could say the applicant shall provide improvements to the Milo Street frontage meeting with the requirements of the Department of Public Works, and leave it up to that Department. Commissioner Iwashita said he understood from the record that the State portion at the beginning of Milo Street does not have the curb, gutter and sidewalk requirement but his preference is to have that requirement. Commissioners Iwashita and Domingo then stated leaving this determination of a curb, gutter and sidewalk requirement up to the Department of Public Works was acceptable. Commissioner Iwashita then stated for the record that the “20 feet” in Condition E should be changed to “22 feet,” and there was no objection to this change. A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with six ayes (Iwashita, Domingo, Au, Ishibashi, Kern, and Woodward). The Commission took the following item up at 11:50 a.m. with 12 people from the public in attendance: APPLICANTS: WILLIAM & GLYNNIS DOLAN (REZ 09-111) Change of Zone from Agricultural 1-acre (A-1a) to Neighborhood Commercial 20,000 square feet (CN-20) for approximately 3.258 acres of land.
