COTTLE: Yes, so the change that the Council made in 2010 is shown on Page 1 of your <br />background report, and it shows that initially an applicant had to notify surrounding owners within <br />ten days of filing the application, and the Council changed it to where they would have to notify <br />within ten days of receiving a letter from the Planning Department saying we’ve accepted your <br />application. And the reason they made the change was that often times an applicant would file <br />their application with us, and they would send out a notice to their neighbors of the application, <br />and then we would have changes that needed to be made to the application, we wouldn’t accept it, <br />there was missing information. So we’d have neighbors calling us, saying, you know, what’s <br />going on with this application, can you give me information, and we haven’t even accepted it yet. <br />So this just, I think, makes the process a little bit more effective and less confusing for neighbors <br />of applications. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: I agree. Thank you very much. Commissioners, any questions of Maija? Hearing none, <br />do I hear a motion? <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: I’d like to move that we approve the Planning Director’s amendment to Chapter <br />25, the Zoning Code, the Hawai‘i County Code 1983, amended 2005. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay, this is going, the motion should say something about our sending a favorable <br />recommendation to the County Council. <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: Move for a favorable recommendation. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay. Dickie. <br /> <br />NELSON: Second. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: It has been moved by Commissioner Whittemore and seconded by Commissioner <br />Nelson that we send a favorable recommendation to the County Council for the amendment to <br />Chapter 25, Zoning, of the Hawai‘i County Code established in 1983 and the 2005 edition, <br />relating to notification requirements for zoning amendment, project district and agricultural project <br />district applications. I think we are ready for a vote. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Whittemore? <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: Aye. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Nelson? <br /> <br />NELSON: Aye. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Bowman? <br /> <br />BOWMAN: Aye. <br /> <br />COTTLE: And Madam Chair? <br />2 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
