Aloha Ms. Kanda&Ms. Luga:
I was able to have a discussion with my supervisors and unfortunately these structures do not qualify to
utilize the HRS 46-88 exemption. You will need to pursue traditional permitting
(Building/Electrical/Plumbing)for these Non-Residential structure(s), all structures identified. At this
time I would also like to inform you that we do not currently permit mobile structures; I was unable to
determine from the provided Declaration applications if these modules in fact do have permanent/fixed
foundations as would be required for permitting.
z
ROA DOCUMENT 2 PAGE 002
Due to the nature of the work,there are a number of County and State departments,such as Planning,
Wastewater and Sanitation/Food Safety among others,that are only available to us for review purposes
through the traditional permitting path.
For those structures with permanent/fixed foundations,the permit type you will need through our EPIC
application system:

Hi Joel,
We filed the attached 5 Declarations on 12/30/22,which DPW Engineering signed-off on the same day
(12/30/22) and transmitted to you for DPW Building review/approval. In addition, DPW Engineering
signed off on 12/22/22,the attached Declaration for the mobile modular cut and wrap unit.
We understand that Declarations are reviewed and approved by DPW Engineering and Building within a
one-day turn-around.
Therefore, we do not understand why the 6 pending Declarations for l'o Processing are not afforded the
same one-day review period. Please explain the reason why l'o Processing is waiting 20 days and 12
days, respectively,when other Declarations (as were the case with the attached Kona Kai and Horn
3
ROA DOCUMENT 2 PAGE 003
Declarations) have been approved after l'o Processing submitted its Declarations on 12/22/22 and
12/30/22.
In addition,we do not see how DPW's current "revising policies and procedures regarding the
declarations and I have a few issues I require department acknowledgement/clarification", is halting
DPW's review of the I'o Processing 6 Declarations when HRS Section 46-88 has not been amended.
This will respectfully request that DPW Building review and act on the attached 6 pending Declarations
by the close of business today. Thank you for your assistance.
