WATANABE:If there were any further modifications, Mr. Mooers, do you have any recommendation as far as how that ground, you know, buildup can be limited, maybe not so much for this developer but in the event that it were sold? MOOERS:Yeah, I think Chapter 25 on the method of measuring and determining the heights addresses that. The rules are pretty clear in there. I know that Mr. Yuen and I spent some time trying to talk about how to address this viewplane issue. And I think this is the best that we could come up with. And so I guess the answer is I dont quite know other than the existing rules, you know, in the Zoning Code which talks about how to compute building heights, which I think addresses that. WATANABE:And you have conceded that an additional 10 feet -? MOOERS:Thats correct. WATANABE:Yeah. GRAHAM:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Mr. Mooers. All right, Fellow Commissioners, that brings us toadiscussionphaseoramotion.CommissionerWatanabe? WATANABE:I move that we approve Belt Collins Hawaii Limited Special Management Area Use Permit (SMA 06-000010) based on the amended conditions and the Directors recommendations. SALAVEA:Second. ALAMEDA:Motion made by Commissioner Watanabe, seconded by Commissioner Salavea. Discussion? Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:Are we not including something that you said a little while ago about the existing grade or something when we were doing the measuring? WATANABE:Thats why I brought that up earlier. But I wasnt clear on what that amendment actually was. ALAMEDA:Director? GRAHAM:Maybe the Planning Director can -. WATANABE:Cause if you recall I did say I would have to defer it, and thats why I also asked Mr. Mooers about this. Because, you know, I wouldnt want to arbitrarily come out and say, oh, you cant fill more than 10 feet above the natural grade when maybe thats not appropriate. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director had a solution to that, I think. 15
