actually, we normally dont repeat the conditions, the change of zone conditions in the SMA conditions. We say that you comply with the zone change conditions. GRAHAM:I dont- of course I dont dispute what you say since you know but it seems to me that the SMA permit is being granted on the Conditions that were seeing here today. And so that if in fact in the future be it 10 years from now whenever if the conditions were such that we wouldnt want to grant an SMA permit but maybe the County Council would grant an extension to the zoning we wouldnt be covered to be able to deal with the SMA new again so I would think we should include those time conditions also within the SMA permit. SONG:Mr. Graham my client would have to objection to time restriction in the SMA permit. GRAHAM:Thank you. SONG:Mr. Galdones there are a couple of matters that were some questions beforeandIthinkwewouldliketoclarifysomeissues. GALDONES:Proceed. SONG:Firstofall,therewerequestionsabouttheexistingbuildingorwhatwas originally proposed and, for this property under the existing SMA permit and what is proposed now. The building that was proposed was approved back in 19-. The permit that was approved in 1988 that received Plan Approval actually it was 45 feet high in accordance with the zoning code. So this building is no higher. And it was actually larger in bulk than the existing building because there wasnt a road reserve in the property. So the units were larger. It was only 48 units but the units as proposed were much larger per unit but the size of the building was actually a bigger building than what is proposed right now by Mr. Nee and his architect Mr. Getman. So were not increasing anything size wise. My client did this because he felt that when you look at Alii Drive in that area there is a walking environment along Alii Drive. And that commercial on the ground floor made sense because when you see people theyre walking along Alii Drive. Huggos is across the street. The Royal Kona Resort is across the street. Theres that marketplace down, just right next door. And so we just felt it would be a better feature and a better amenity. But in order to do that meant changing the zone and getting an SMA permit. Mr. Yuen wanted to see this road reserve and my client then agreed to put in the road reserve to have a connecting road between Kuakini and Alii Drive in order to go ahead with the zoning and SMA. And it has taken a lot of work to redesign the building cause this is only an acre site its not a huge parcel. And- but, and his architect has been working very diligently trying to meet Plannings concerns about height. And in fact there is a letter from my client that he will comply with the height limit if any redesign is necessary or a reduction even in units to comply with the height limit, my client is willing to do that. So, theres not going to be any request for any variance or any way to go exceed the height limit for this building. The other thing that was also asked is about a waterline. The existing waterline is an 8-inch line. Theres going to be about 1100 feet of it thats expand- thats wide- thats increased to 12-inch, which is a significant improvement as well along Alii Drive for fire fighting purposes. And finally, this application just from my clients and Mr. Getman Im sure will have more to say. This application the notice EXHIBIT E 12
