7. Unusual conditions,trends,and needs have arisen since the district <br /> boundaries and regulations were established. <br /> Prior to adoption of the County General Plan (1971), the State Land Use District <br /> boundaries were established in this area. Since that time, growth has incessantly <br /> occurred and in an effort to manage this growth,the General Plan has been <br /> periodically updated,while the South Kohala CDP was adopted in 2008. Both of <br /> these documents provide the land use framework to guide or manage growth in <br /> this area. <br /> Those documents suggest urban uses in this area at some point in time. The <br /> heliport would be consistent with the concept of urban type of uses. However, in <br /> deference to its potential nuisance impacts and not wanting to forfeit future land <br /> use options in this area, the applicant has elected to proceed with this route rather <br /> than the State Land Use boundary amendment and county rezoning route. <br /> Given the absence of complaints to date and the slow rate at which this and the <br /> surrounding areas have been developing,the reasons for approving the original <br /> permit(with conditions),are still applicable. At the same time, the need for this <br /> type of use still exists, as evidenced by the Applicant's request for additional <br /> time. <br /> It is thus maintained that the reasons used to support the existing permit also apply to the <br /> requested time extension request. The Applicant thus respectfully requests your <br /> favorable consideration of its requested time extension. <br /> 10 <br />
