something that goes back to the Department of Public Works. But thosehave been my reservations; but, at this point, Im inclined to vote in favor of the measure. Is there any further discussion? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Could I ask a question, I think, of the Planning Director or someone on the Planning staff. We were concentrating on flooding today but I know at the last meetingthe community spoke a little bit about issues of massive building, and Commissioner Alameda spoke a little bit about the character, right now hes concerned about the character of development and all. At some point I did look through the Zoning Code a little bit and it seems like we have sort of a different situation where a commercial property abuts other commercial properties versus where its sort of the end of the commercial area and its abutting residential properties. It seems like I saw in there somewhere that the Zoning Code requires on a commercial development that abuts on residentialpropertiesthesamesetbacksthatresidentialpropertiesmustadhereto,but maybe thats on the side boundaries and not on the real boundary. So if theres any kind of setback or whatever issues that would help to mitigate a large office complex with parking right next to residential properties thats already in the Zoning Code that we can rely on or -. I dont have any expertise and understanding of that issue particularly, so I just want to bring that up. YUEN:If thats a question, Im not sure what the setback is for this. There would be a landscaping requirement between a residential and the commercial. We really have more information about that, Jeff? DARROW:The setback for this particular property is going to be front and rear 15 feet and then the sides are going to conform to whatever is the adjacent zoning, so the adjacent zoning in this particular situation is Single-family Residential. Depending on the size of those lots well be able to determine the setback whether its 8 feet or 10 feet or 15 feet. So this property will have to conform to that setback. But when youre looking at a retaining wall, thats a different item. That actually can be set up to the property line. But structures will have to comply with the setback. GRAHAM:Thank you. SPRINGER:Commissioners, further discussion? Motion has been made by Commissioner McCall and seconded by Commissioner Smith with a favorable recommendation on this matter be forwarded to the Hawaii County Council. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, Jeff, do the roll call. DARROW:Thank you, Madam Chair. Commissioner McCall? MCCALL:Aye. DARROW:Commissioner Smith? 30
