This is a continued hearing on the matter of Daniel Ibbetson. Mr. Ibbetson had <br />requested originally a Special Permit request for a 2-bedroom bed and breakfast in Kaohe, South <br />Kona, just south of the Kona Palisades (sic) Subdivision along the Mamalahoa Highway. On <br />January 20, 2006, the Planning Commission denied the request for the Special Permit. The <br />decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by the applicant to the Third Circuit Court at <br />which time the Third Circuit Court had reversed the decision and remanded it back to the <br />Planning Commission for further proceedings. This is a continued hearing to discuss this order <br />from the Third Circuit Court. At our last hearing on September 21, 2007, a motion was made to <br />deny the request and adopt the intervenor’s proposed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, <br />Decision and Order. This motion did not pass for a vote of four ayes and three nays. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />1 <br /> <br />
