SIRACUSA: Where we were, and I think we had done one in Waiakea House Lots also <br />for a house that was a historic structure. <br />WATANABE: That was going to be a real estate agent’s -. <br />SIRACUSA: Yeah, and possibly the Director could come up with the wording for that <br />amendment. <br />YUEN: Two things about that. First I think we should discuss that with the <br />applicant because it is pretty restrictive.Second, if we are going to go the route of, and, you <br />know, I don’t know what her real desires are here.Sometimes people really, this is all that they <br />want, is some fairly limited change in the use of the property. If we went that route some of the <br />conditions I think are, I think we would not limit left turns into the property, for example. <br />Because back to this situation again, if the condition passed in the form that it was in the <br />recommendation or, you know, as stated earlier, you know, she can’t turn left into her property <br />and her customers are not supposed to, and clients are not supposed to turn left either. And I <br />suspect that that’s what most of them, given where the population is likely to be coming from <br />and the traffic patterns in Hilo, most of them -. So we’re basically telling them that they’re <br />supposed to go up the street and make a u-turn somewhere or go around some where and come <br />down and turn right in the property. So I think this is something, you know, we should discuss <br />with the applicant as to whether she would like a zoning that’s quite restrictive in terms of the <br />uses of the property. And if we do that then we ought to pull back on some of the conditions. <br />You know, but if we are going to go with a CG zoning that does not have any restrictions then <br />you have to think gas station, convenience store, fast food restaurant, as being a potential <br />ultimate use of the property and plan it accordingly. <br />WATANABE: I find it quite ironic if you had applied for Ag zoning that we would need a <br />special permit and we’d be done, but special permits only exist on Ag land. <br />DOMINGO: Mr. Chair? <br />WATANABE: Mr. Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: You know, as explained, it would seem like that whole block then under <br />its present designation would prevent any General Commercial uses on that block. But what <br />we’re doing is we’re putting restrictions on one specific lot only. And if it is the desire of this <br />Planning Commission that General Commercial is not proper and adequate for that block then I <br />would suggest even to the extent that there should be a change in the designation so it will be <br />restricted only for a limited use only. You know, that’s -. <br />WATANABE: General Plan, in other words not High Density Urban. <br />DOMINGO: Yeah. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, I kind of hear where you’re coming from. Ms. Bowman, you have <br />the mike up? <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />19 <br /> <br />
