Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 2 <br />May 21, 2009 <br />REPORT ON CEMETERIES — STATE VETERANS ADVISORY BOARD <br />Hawaii Island - East Hawaii Representative Mr. Herring Kalua <br />Hawaii Island - West Hawaii Representative Mr. Herb Lum <br />NO REPORT <br />Both Mr. Kalua and Mr. Lum were both absent from the meeting. <br />Veterans Cemetery III - West Hawaii - Construction Delay - Permits Required for <br />Temporary Buildings <br />Mr. Minoru Hanato said he heard the County is trying to stop work at the West Hawaii <br />Veterans Cemetery because there were no permits for the moveable buildings that are <br />there. He said it shouldn't affect the work. <br />Mr. Fitzgerald said those temporary structures do not have building permits so in order <br />for the contractor to proceed, the Building Division needed to know whether or not we <br />would wait to get permits or move buildings before they sign a final when the project is <br />finished. We will have to move or remove those temporary structures. In order to <br />prevent a halt in construction, he told staff of the Building Division that the water tank, <br />two small buildings, container and greenhouse would be moved before final permits are <br />signed for new construction. <br />Mr. Hanato said its okay to move. <br />Mr. Fitzgerald said he went to look at it before he sent the letter and also spoke to John <br />Grogan since he didn't want to delay project. <br />Mr. Hanato said it doesn't make sense because the County is using all of those buildings. <br />Mr. Fitzgerald responded that P &R can move it, the only request is that once we near <br />construction completion we work together to either move or obtain permits to bring one <br />or two back if its salvageable. As he understands, the storage part is already part of the <br />second phase, which includes room to store chairs and maintenance equipment. If we <br />need a place to move it, it could be put on County property and obtain a permit and bring <br />it back. <br />Mr. Hanato said stored items could be put in the new storage building, which he hopes is <br />big enough to hold everything. <br />Mr. Fitzgerald said if the new one is not big enough, we would still have to move the <br />temporary buildings and then ask for a permit to bring one back. <br />Mr. Hanato said we won't move it until the project is done. <br />Mr. Fitzgerald responded that we will have to move it the day before final inspection or <br />they won't sign off on the construction project. <br />
