Home

Mr. Hayashi oriented the Commission and public of the subject and surrounding properties on the location map, gave some background information and noted the Planning Director is initiating the repeal of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 96 152, subject to the approval of the change of zone applications of Kulana Kea and Plant- Mason by the County Council. Upon First Vice Chairman Grahams inquiry, Mr. Hayashi noted that although the surrounding property owners were not individually notified of the Directors request to repeal Ord. No. 96 152, he felt they would have no objections to the request. In response to Commissioner Siracusas inquiry, Mr. Yuen said if the proposed Plant- Mason rezoning passes at the County Council then the property would have a RA-1a zoning designation and as a housekeeping measure the old rezoning ordinance should be repealed. He said if the proposedPlant-Mason rezoning does not pass the Council, then thePlanningDepartmentwouldaskthatthisrepealof96152berejected,notingthatit would not go back to Ag-20 unless another process is initiated. He added that at the present time someone could have one 14-ace lot and build a house on it. There was no one from the public wishing to testify on this agenda item. It was moved by Commissioner Siracusa and seconded by Commissioner Salavea to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council based on the Planning Directors recommendation and proposed conditions, with the friendly amendment suggested by Commissioner Galdones that this change of zone will take effect upon adoption of the Plant-Mason change of zone application. A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with five ayes (Siracusa, Salavea, Galdones, Iwashita, and Graham) and three absent and excused (Alameda, McCall and Watanabe).
