operator-hosted, and unhosted —each with their own lists of dos and don'ts. For example, <br /> owner-hosted TARs are allowed in a wider range of zoning districts, and nonconforming use <br /> certificates can be granted outside of those districts for TARs that operated before this year. <br /> Operator-hosted and unhosted TARs have more restrictive conditions, with unhosted TARs <br /> not allowed any new nonconforming use permits outside of their permitted zoning districts. <br /> Each class of TAR also would be granted different fee schedules: Registering a new owner- <br /> hosted TAR initially costs $500, with annual renewal fees of$100, while owner-hosted <br /> nonconforming use certificates cost $250 up front and another $250 a year to renew. The <br /> other classes cost more to set up, with operator-hosted TAR fees 1.5 times those of owner- <br /> hosted units, and unhosted units costing double or more what owner-hosted units cost. <br /> Registering a TAR also would require extensive documentation, including site drawings, <br /> floor plans, a county real property tax clearance certificate, and a notarized affidavit <br /> stating that the TAR meets health and safety (and code) requirements "under penalty of <br /> perjury." <br /> (The Penalty for Perjury in Hawaii is 5 YEARS IN PRISON AND a $10,000 Fine for this <br /> FELONY!) <br /> New TARs also would not be permitted in ohana units, detached bedrooms or guesthouses— <br /> existing owner-hosted TARs in ohana units could be grandfathered in — and a TAR's host <br /> would be required to reside in the home itself, and not a detached unit. <br /> (THE COUNTY IS SEEKING TO LEGISLATE WHERE IN OUR PRIVATE RESIDENCES WE <br /> ARE ALLOWED TO SLEEP! <br /> This is the very definition of government overreach.) <br /> Furthermore, the bill sets out a list of rental standards for TARs— listing required quiet hours, <br /> maximum gathering sizes, parking and signage requirements, and more, with (DAILY) fines <br /> for violations ranging from $2,500 for a first offense to $10,000 for a third. $10,000 for <br /> Parking Violation? $10,000 for a Quiet Hour Complaint? $10,000 for having guests visit? <br /> $10,000 for not having the right size sign? $10,000 "and more"? THESE PROPOSED FINES <br /> ARE EXCESSIVE AND DISPROPORTIONATE and PUNITIVE. <br /> For Perspective: Each listed crime below carries a ONE TIME $10,000 Fine in the state <br /> of Hawaii for a CONVICTED FELONY CRIMINAL who is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN <br /> GUILTY. In Bill 121, your are guilty until proven innocent. <br /> Felonies in the State of Hawaii that Carry the SAME $10,000 Fine as a Parking Violation <br /> in Bill 121: <br /> CONSPIRIMY TO COMMIT SECOND DEGREE MURDER.
