WOODWARD: Commissioner Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Just another way to be assured that with these use permits the public will be given <br />the opportunity to respond through public hearing? <br />ARAI: Absolutely because the process will require publication in the newspaper as well as <br />surrounding property owner notification. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, any further questions? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: And -. <br />WOODWARD: Madam Director. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: By way of background where, you know, we try to catch things as things <br />come along but it’s very difficult sometimes to do comprehensive review and rewriting of our <br />Codes. Where this one came up was the top of Halai Hill is Open and there were plans to put a <br />telecommunications tower up on top of Halai Hill, and it’s smack dab next to residential <br />property. But under our current Code it’s permitted and there was no requirement to get any type <br />of a permit. But we also started looking at the entire Open district and felt that this was more <br />appropriate so that there was some public input before a tower went up in some of these areas. <br />Because in many cases some of these Open areas are where you’re likely to get some of the <br />strongest opposition to a tower going up. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, thank you. Any further discussion? Okay, let’s take a vote. Mr. Arai. <br />KERN: Do we have a motion? <br />WOODWARD: Oh, don’t have a motion? We didn’t -? <br />GONZALEZ: No. <br />WOODWARD: Oh, let’s have a motion first. <br />DOMINGO: Okay, Mr. Chairman, I’ll comply with your wish. I move that we send a favorable <br />recommendation to the County Council with regards to amending Chapter 25 (Zoning Code), <br />Articles 2, 4 and 5 of the Hawai‘i County Code, 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended). <br />KERN: Second. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, it has been moved and seconded. Any discussion? No, yes? <br />Commissioner Kern. <br />2 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
