2013-02-21 Leeward Exh A - Director Initiated Amend re PUD

Home

M. McINNIS: The planning director. LEITHEAD TODD: Because we, I’m saying either-or, because I’m going to give the action committee the option of whether they want to hold the hearing; if they do, then we would do it at a regularly scheduled action committee hearing. I have two areas that only have steering committees; so if it’s Hāmākua or Ka‘ū, I would have to hold the hearing because there is no action committee to go to. But because this isn’t something that is specifically, under the current code, assigned to an action committee, you may have an action committee that says, hey, we are not really interested in holding the hearing because we have other things that we need to do. But I’m going to give them the option; if they want to hold the hearing, we are going to do it at the action committee; if they don’t want to hold the hearing, then I’m going to hold the hearing. But it requires that a public hearing be held on the application. M. McINNIS: Okay, thank you. GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Once again, Members of the Commission, any questions of the Planning Director? Hearing none, do I hear a motion? And it might be best for us to take a look at, first of all, Agenda Item No. 1 on your agenda. Also, take a look at Page 3 of the December background report; the bottom paragraph has recommendation, and what is germane for us today is the last sentence, “The Planning Director requests ….” Okay? And I’m happy to read it. You want me to read it and just ask for the approval, okay. So what we are voting on this morning is the Planning Director initiated amendment to Chapter 25, Article 6, Division 1 of the Hawai‘i County Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended), relating to Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.). I’m going to ask – and if this is not what you are in favor of, please correct me – that the Planning Director, that we forward a favorable recommendation for the Director’s proposed bill to be made to the County Council, with – Daryn, are they amendments, are they changes, are they conditions, what are they? ARAI: I think maybe the best way to frame it is to recommend favorable consideration of the Director’s bill as proposed with additional amendments as she offered to Sections, you know, 25-6- 6 and 25-6-11. GIFFIN: Yeah, I will. All right. So, with the favorable recommendation to the County Council, with the addition and changes, as stated by the Director, of Section 25-6-6 (a) and a new section (1) and also 25-6-11 with the change in verbiage as expressed by the Director. Do I hear a motion? BEAUDET: I move to support the Planning Director’s recommendation. GIFFIN: Do I hear a second? HICKCOX: Second. GIFFIN: It’s been moved and seconded, it’s been moved by Commissioner Beaudet and seconded by Commissioner Hickcox that we approve the Planning Director’s request, that we send a favorable recommendation to the County Council, with the changes that were suggested by the Planning Director. All those in – no, no, no – roll call. ARAI: Okay, let’s make this legal. Commissioner Beaudet? 22 EXHIBIT A
