HAYASHI:Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. Since Item Nos. 2 and 3 are related, for background purposes, I would like to consolidate the background, if it’s okay with the Commission. WATANABE:I don’t see any objection to that. HAYASHI:And as far as the action, that would be taken separately by the Planning Commission. WATANABE:Agreed. HAYASHI:Okay, first of all, the subject property is located by this orange dot and is situated along the north side of Hualalai Road. This would be Hualalai Road hooking up with the Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This is Kuakini Highway running towards Keauhou; and this particular roadway is Alii Drive. So the property is indicated at this particular location. There are two ordinances involved. First is Ordinance No. 95-118 which was adopted in April 1992. And that was to rezone the northern portion of the property; and that would be in this general configuration from an Unplanned zoned district to a Multiple Residential-2.5 zoned district, as well as 2.2 acres from RD or Residential Duplex-3,750 square feet to Village Commercial-7.5. The original intent at that time was to construct a Commercial and Multiple Family Residential project on the back portion or the northern side of the property in this general configuration. The other ordinance, Ordinance No. 90-010, involves 45,000 plus square feet of land and that is in this general configuration. And the request was to rezone the property from Multiple Family Residential-2,000 square foot to a Village Commercial-7,500 square foot zoned district. And basically that was to construct an office building. Since that time, the property was sold or turned over a number of occasions and Samson LLC recently purchased the property back in February of 2005. They intend to construct a 146- Multiple Residential unit project consisting of ten buildings two to three stories in height. There are two conditions that reflected time performance for both ordinances. For Ordinance No. 95-118, Condition D stated that they had to secure final plan approval within a period of time; and also Condition E of Ordinance No. 95-118 stated that construction had to commence by a period of time. Ordinance No. 90-010 also had similar conditions. Condition B indicated they had to secure final plan approval by a specified time and Condition C was to commence construction again by a specified time. The Planning Director, after reviewing the proposals to amend these conditions felt that since these ordinances were adopted back in 1990 and since development plans have changed, and have recommended approval of new conditions or revised conditions as submitted to all of you. So based on that we are recommending approval of the amendment to Ordinance No. 95-118 and Ordinance No. 90-010 with new conditions. And we recently submitted to you the green sheet, and these were the latest changes to the initially proposed conditions. And Condition D EXHIBIT B 2
