Lastly, we had spoken about the consistency of denials of similar requests along highway. This is a little difficult to see but IÓll point them out. WeÓre looking generally at the Orchidland here, with the subject property identified in this particular area. YouÓll notice some dots with some writing on it, those were previous special permits in the a here was for a commercial center to allow a grocery store, automobile service station, auto parts store; this was in 1981 which was denied. This, in Paradise Park right in this general area was for a preschool; this again was denied. It was, the main reason again was the frontage along the highway and that they wanted to see these particular uses along the highway. More importantly, we had two requests on the corner of Paradise and KeaÒau-Phoa Road. One was for a shopping center from the same applicant; that particular application was denied. Several years later that same applicant came in and requested a community-oriented commercial center; and, again this request was denied. Lastly, in 2005, Gerald Yamada had come in with a commercial retail and office complex on the corner of Alii and KeaÒau-Pahoa Road, and they were going to improve the intersection with a signalized traffic light; and this again was denied. Each of these particular applications were stating that the area that the General Plan has called for commercial uses was to be specific in the Orchidland area. So in this particular time Orchidland as youÓll see has a number of special permits. The main ones that you might be familiar with are the Wiki Wiki Town Cent Trade Center which hasnÓt been constructed at this time. There has been another one recently that was submitted for an administration office for Sure Save; and these are all in the general location of the Medium Density Urban as well as the Interim Amendment to the General Plan area. With that, that concludes our presentation. Are there any questions? WOODWARD: Any questions? Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So, Jeff, essentially what weÓre looking is a trend, actions taken by the Planning Commission previously with regards to any building alongside Highway 130? DARROW: Correct. DOMINGO: And then itÓs a denial whatsoever of any kind of application? DARROW: Yes. It has been consistent in this general area here. And the reasoning was, again, they did not want to establish a land use pattern for commercial uses along the highway, but they wanted to go perpendicular from the highway along Orchidland Dri DOMINGO: If I understand correctly you mentioned that the Community Development Plan designates for this particular area a Village Town Center which goes beyond the established General Plan for the County. DARROW: Correct. 5 EXHIBIT A
