The applicant in this case, Jason Deluz dba as J. Deluz Auto Body Repair, is requesting a special permit to allow the establishment of an automotive body repair shop and accessory uses. Again, looking at the submitted site plan, we have the highway moving in an east-west direction. We have a long skinny lot. The application is only for a 6500-quare foot area of a proposed approximately 15-acre lot. The remainder of the lot is being utilized for agricultural purposes. The area identified in red is enlarged. In this area it shows the auto repair area. We have three booths or three bays, an office and spray booth areas. The squares identified in purple is an existing house and a storage area. Just this morning we received several letters of support that have been passed out to the Planning Commission. Let’s see, it appears to be four letters of support. I won’t go into a long history on this. You folks have the background and recommendation. The applicant is requesting a five-year time period for this permit. The Planning Director is recommending rather than five years that this permit be for a two-year period to allow for the relocation of the auto body repair shop. ALAMEDA:All right, any questions of Mr. Darrow? Commissioner McCall. MCCALL:Probably, mostly bookkeeping, but I just want to make sure the contested case application from Fumi Bonk was officially withdrawn. Is that correct? DARROW:Yes. MCCALL:So we don’t consider that? DARROW:Thank you for bringing that up. We did submit a letter to Mrs. Bonk after a telephone call between staff and herself; and she just reflected that she just wanted to submit testimony that she was in opposition to it and that she was not formally submitting a petition for standing in a contested case. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner McCall. Any questions? Seeing none, will the applicant/representative please come forward. First, I’d like to thank you so much for waiting patiently, all the way towards the end. I know you got a chance to review the recommendation made by the Department. Do you have any questions? Oh, I’ve got to swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii Planning Commission? LIM:I do. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Could you please state your name and address for the record. LIM:My name is Stephen Lim from Carlsmith Ball representing the applicant, Jason Deluz. Mr. Deluz is seated right next to me. EXHIBIT C 2
