Hualalai Road and Kuakini Highway. It’s formerly the 7-Eleven Store. You might recall <br />that being in this location, we have McDonald’s located in this area, we have the <br />Territorial Savings Building located in this area and we have our County Building over in <br />this particular area. <br />If I can direct your attention to the site plan submitted by the Applicant, the Applicant in <br />this case, A Hui Hou Funeral. A Hui Hou Funeral and Tribute Services is requesting a <br />use permit to allow the cremation services within an existing mortuary facility within a <br />Commercial Village-zoned property. Again, this is the property identified. We have <br />Kuakini Highway running on the bottom of the map. The actual property itself is 7,500 <br />square feet in size. Most of the area of the property is utilized for parking. There is <br />existing eight parking stalls with one handicapped parking stall. We also have a loading <br />zone. The area identified in red is the existing building. The area identified in yellow is <br />where the cremator would be located within the existing structure. <br />To bring to your attention some of the recent submittals, we have received this morning <br />this green packet from the Applicants. Mainly looking at it, a lot of this is repetitive <br />information, but there is some new information submitted therein. We’ve also received <br />submittals from Shawn Nakakura which was passed out; and, additionally, we received a <br />letter from the Kailua Village Design Commission regarding their recommendation to the <br />Planning Director and the Planning Commission. <br />The Planning Director is, although there have been discussions between the Planning <br />Director and the Applicant regarding the issue of parking on the structure which appears <br />to be resolved at this time, the Director would be inclined to allow the existing parking <br />rather than require the more stringent parking required for a facility that would have <br />viewing and services. The Planning Director is still recommending his negative <br />recommendation based on the impacts that are, would be generated to surrounding <br />properties. The Planning Department has received quite an extensive amount of <br />opposition letters from surrounding properties and concerns regarding the possible <br />emissions that can be, could possibly be generated from a facility of this type if it was not <br />operated properly or the actual cremator was malfunctioning. There are a lot of technical <br />issues regarding this particular application. I’m sure that we’ll be addressing those issues <br />as the Applicant comes forward. <br />The Planning Director has also sent out to the Planning Commission, which you might <br />have gotten just recently, a Proposed Findings of Facts, Conclusions of Law and Decision <br />and Order that basically reflects the Background and Recommendation but placed in a <br />proposed Findings of Facts form, and Conclusions of Law. Are there any questions? <br />WATANABE:Commissioners, any questions of staff? <br />DARROW:Thank you. <br />WATANABE:Seeing none, can we have the Applicants come up. Okay, why <br />don’t I swear all of you in at one time, and then we can ask for your name and address for <br />EXHIBIT D <br />2 <br /> <br />
