2007-05-04 Planning Commission Minutes

Home

The applicants representatives, Christopher Clark and Greg Mooers, were in attendance. Mr. Mooers stated they agreed with the conditions as amended. He said they would want to connect to the County sewer system as it runs on or adjacent to the subject property, rather than the Honokaa Hospital system as there is a significant change in the elevation and would require a lift station and sewer line that ran basically almost uphill. In response to Commissioner Siracusas concern on lead and asbestos contamination, Mr. Mooers said as the Health Center is very aware of the problem they are electing to take the building down and replace it with a new structure. Mr. Mooers added that it is their understanding and intention that the remediation required will meet all Department of Healths rules and regulations as stated in Condition 9, noting the applicant does not have a problem if the Commission makes it a specific condition. Commissioner Siracusa said she did not see a reason tomakeitaspecificconditionaslongastheHealthDepartmentrequiresthismatterbe addressed. It was moved by Commissioner Siracusa and seconded by Commissioner Watanabe that the application be approved based on the Planning Directors recommendation and proposed conditions, with Condition No. 6 amended to read, The applicant shall connect the proposed project to the Countys planned sewer collection system for Honokaa. Should the sewer system not be available at the time the project is developed, the applicant will construct an on-site wastewater treatment system meeting the requirements of the State Department of Health. Once the sewer system is available, the applicant will connect to the County system at that time. A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with five ayes (Siracusa, Watanabe, Woodward, Rho, and Alameda) and three absent and excused (Graham, Iwashita and Domingo).
