And, I already got ahead of myself, the Director is requesting that the permit be revoked. Originally, Kawaihae Restaurant, LLC had intended on establishing a restaurant and commercial and recreational uses on the property. But, again, due to changes in the Flood Map, the project has become infeasible. This was the site plan at the time the permit was approved. You can see structures here and here, and the flood zone was in this area here and it’s moved more mauka to where the property cannot accommodate the structures and parking; there is just not enough space. So the Planning Director is recommending that the SMA Permit be revoked. That concludes my presentation. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer. BEAUDET: Is the holder of the permit present? JACKSON: No. Kawaihae Restaurant, as I mentioned, the lease was cancelled, and so the permit runs with the land; so DLNR now holds the permit. BEAUDET: Okay. JACKSON: We sent a letter to DLNR, notifying them of this hearing and of the action we were going to initiate, and we haven’t received any communication. BEAUDET: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions or comments of staff on this item? With no further discussion, I’d like to ask for a motion of action. KAHOLO: Mr. Chair? BEAUDET: Yes. KAHOLO: I move that the Planning Director’s request to revoke the permit be approved by the Planning Commission, Special Management Area Permit No. 10-039, be approved on the Planning Director’s recommendation, which shall be adopted. BEAUDET: Second? SHIMAOKA: Second. BEAUDET: It has been moved by Commissioner Kaholo for a favorable recommendation, and seconded by Commissioner Shimaoka. Staff, roll call, please. JACKSON: Okay. Commissioner Kaholo? KAHOLO: Aye. JACKSON: Commissioner Whittemore? WHITTEMORE: Aye. JACKSON: Commissioner Church? 2 EXHIBIT B
