<br />Mr. Richard Gonzalez introduced himself as general manager of Hawai‘i Gas Company for the West <br />Hawai‘i region. He stated that the applicant had decided to upgrade the property because they had <br />been able to extend their lease with the landowner, Queen Lili‘uokalani Trust. He said that the <br />existing structure, which was currently in pastel blue and green, would also be painted in the <br />proposed earthy colors to match the extension. With regard to landscaping, he said that the greenery <br />in the street corner area was maintained by the landowner with water provided by the applicant, and <br />that the applicant intended to keep the natural appearance of the 50-foot beautification strip, except <br />for some trimming and clearing, and to clean up the hedge along Kaiwi Street, so as to discourage the <br />homeless from trespassing upon the property. He also spoke of a canopy tent that was currently put <br />up for workers to take refuge from the sun and heat until such time that the proposed roof extension <br />could replace it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Au Hoy commented that the Commission was striving to upgrade the appearance of <br />the area and would appreciate any improvements that the applicant could bring in. She further said <br />that she would support the proposal as long as the existing structure was going to be repainted to <br />match the extension as stated by Mr. Gonzalez. <br /> <br />It was moved by Commissioner Kitchens, and seconded by Commissioner Broderson, to send to the <br />Planning Director a recommendation for approval of the proposed project as submitted. The motion <br />was unanimously carried by a roll call vote of all Commissioners present. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS <br /> – No discussion was held under this section of the agenda. <br /> <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Childs informed the Commissioners that the next meeting scheduled for June 3, 2014, was <br />cancelled due to no applications. <br /> <br />Mr. Mark said that there were a few candidates for this Commission in the categories of engineers, <br />architects, and history/culture experts. He added, however, that there would still be more vacancies <br />to be filled, and that personal recommendation from the Commissioners would be appreciated. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />There being no further business, at 5:57 p.m., it was moved by Commissioner Au Hoy and seconded <br />by Commissioner Broderson that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was unanimously carried by <br />a voice vote of all Commissioners in attendance. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A T T E S T: Noriko Sauer, Secretary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Paul Bleck, Chairman <br />Kailua Village Design Commission <br />2 <br />
