improvements. And they’re requesting to delay those to certificate of occupancy. And currently those <br />improvements are required at subdivision approval. <br /> <br />And did you want the full presentation? <br /> <br />KERN: No. And then you guys have your recommendation based, for those? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Yes. So the recommendation, basically the Director is supporting the applicant’s request <br />for the time extension to secure final subdivision approval. That would be an additional five years that <br />they have to secure subdivision approval. However, the Director is not supporting the applicant’s <br />request to delay the installation of the drainage and roadway improvements until after subdivision. <br />And the reason for that is when this property was originally rezoned back in 1996, one of the <br />conditions called for a master plan so that all four parcels would be developed with a comprehensive <br />plan, and drainage and roadway improvements would be considered all at once. <br /> <br />The best way to do that is to have those improvements done at final, prior to final subdivision <br />approval. If that’s not done, what will often happen is an owner will get approval to do subdivision, <br />the lots are split, and then you have multiple new landowners potentially having to install these <br />drainage and roadway improvements. So it’s not done as comprehensively. So the Director feels it’s <br />more appropriate to keep the conditions as is. Those, both conditions were recommended by the <br />Department of Public Works. This time when Public Works reviewed the application, they didn’t <br />provide any comments; and we’re assuming that’s because they are hoping that the conditions stays as <br />is, which is what they originally recommended. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. Thank you, Maija. Any questions for staff? Seeing none, do you want to add anything <br />else? <br /> <br />COTTLE: No. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. Thank you. No questions. So now we’ll have the applicant or the representative <br />please come forward. You’re going to be speaking today? <br /> <br />HIGASHI: Yes. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay, raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth today before the Windward <br />Planning Commission? Could you use your mike. <br /> <br />HIGASHI: I do. <br /> <br />KERN: Very good.
