SIRACUSA:Thank you. GALDONES:Any further questions? Commissioner Salavea? SALAVEA:Norman, Im not sure if you know this but in the previous permit was the height, the planned height for the development 45, 45-feet or is that also an increase? Theyre increasing the number of units along with the height or is it just the number of units? HAYASHI:I dont what exactly the height limit, I mean the height was for the proposed 48-unit structure. But the height limit under the current RM zoned district is still the same 45 feet as the proposed Resort zoned district. SIRACUSA:Excuse me I think its here in the revocation. Their previous landowner had applied for a permit to construct a 4-story building and parking structure on the site. So that mightgiveyouabitofanindicationthereMr.Salavea? SALAVEA:Okay,thankyou. YUEN:Imnotsureifthisispartoftheareathat,wheretheheightlimitwas changed in Kailua-Kona. Two and a- two or three years ago the height limit was lowered in parts of Kailua-Kona. Im not and I say Im not sure if this is part of one of the areas that was, that had a higher height limit before and now has a lower one. HAYASHI:The height limit was for areas that were zoned resort. Those areas you were able to-. And also for those areas that are, were zoned for General Commercial. And I think the height limit at that time was 70 feet. And since then they reduced, the Council reduced the height limit to 45 feet. YUEN:Overall. So this property was always at 45 feet. HAYASHI:Yes. YUEN:Okay, thank you. GALDONES:Further questions? Further discussions? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Theres one more issue on the 45 feet. Norman it seemed like youre kind of indicating that there was a little bit of discussion within the department about how you did the measuring and all. And I do notice when I read the 1994 Master Plan for Kailua Kona on page 326 it says under general recommendations for Alii Drive corridor all along the entire Alii Drive corridor should have such and such a setback and a maximum height limit of 45 feet from the Alii Drive ground floor elevation. So it seems like that you know unless theres some pressing reason otherwise we would like to follow this. EXHIBIT E 6
