by DPW, through Kelly Wilson. Kelly Wilson justified the inspection denial by stating that <br /> Appellant needed to obtain building permits for the Processing Facility. The timing of that <br /> denial was strange, given that no DPW inspector actually came on-site on or about December 29, <br /> 2022 for an electrical inspection. <br /> On December 30, 2022,Appellant submitted the Declaration, on forms approved by the <br /> DPW Engineering Division. The DPW Engineering Division signed off on the Declaration the <br /> same day. Ex. 2. <br /> On January 9, 2022, DPW Building Division informed Appellant that it would need 1 to <br /> 2 months to prepare a response because it"was currently revising policies and procedures <br /> regarding the declarations" and the inspector had"a few issues [he] require [sic] department <br /> acknowledgement/clarification." Ex. 1. <br /> On January 13, 2022, DPW Building Division issued the Denial, in a series of emails: <br /> Aloha Ms. Kanda &Ms. Luga: <br /> was able to have a discussion with my supervisors and unfortunately <br /> these structures do not qualify to utilize the HRS 45-88 exemption. You <br /> will need to pursue traditional permitting(Building/Electrical/Plumbing) <br /> for these Non-Residential structures), all structures identified. At this <br /> time I would also like to inform you that we do not currently permit <br /> mobile structures, I was unable to determine from the provided <br /> Declaration applications if these modules in fact do have permanent/fixed <br /> foundations as would be required for permitting. <br /> Due to the nature of the work,there are a number of County and State <br /> departments, such as Planning,Wastewater and Sanitation/Food Safety <br /> among others,that are only available to us for review purposes through <br /> the traditional permitting path. <br /> For those structures with permanent/fNed foundations,the permit.-.at <br /> you will need through our EPIC application system: <br /> In response, Appellant asked for a formal denial letter, including an explanation of the <br /> DPW's rationale for the Denial. The DPW explained that it was denying an exemption under <br /> HRS § 46-88 because the structures "m[et] the definition of a Building"under the Hawaii <br /> County Code: <br /> 5 <br /> 4870-8058-9647.4.071717-00001 <br />
