Home

UNGER: Second. BEAUDET: All those in favor. COMMISSIONERS: Aye \[unanimously\]. BEAUDET: If there are, Commissioners, if there is no further comments or discussion, I’d like to ask for a motion of action. DARROW: Mr. Chairman? If I could remind the Commission regarding the requested amendments as well that were handed out to the Commission on the yellow and the green piece of paper, those are requested amendments to the conditions that were handed out originally. Additionally, if recommended for approval, we are requesting that the recommendation reflect the additional language wherever we refer to the Final Condominium Property Regime, that we also include Final Subdivision so that the recommendation can reflect the change in conditions. Thank you. BEAUDET: Commissioners? SHIMAOKA: With the testifiers’ concern with congestion on the traffic, can you kind of give us the Planning Department’s mana‘o on that? DARROW: In regards to this particular application, I mean it’s clear that there is traffic issues in Kona, in regards to an SMA permit, unless there is, as mentioned, we can show that there is a direct nexus between affecting the Special Management Area, it’s, we are held from being able to resolve those issues with an SMA permit. Other permits or ordinances, we can try to place in roadway conditions, and we do, it’s a standard procedure, we’ll have curb, gutter, sidewalks, we’ll have road pavement requirements, street lighting, different things. But in this particular application we are held. And even as, I mean, even this SMA permit has some pretty strict conditions; they are giving up a 52-foot future road widening setback on a portion on their property, as well as a 7.5-foot future road widening on this in response to the improvements that are proposed in the future for this area to help with minimizing traffic and things. But again, as far as, we did receive comments from Police and they had no comments, but, again, this would be their jurisdiction as far as trying to slow down speeding vehicles. Signage, it would, I’m not sure how Public Works would respond to that, but I think that would be the appropriate agency to speak to in regards to signage. Thank you. BEAUDET: Commissioner Shimaoka, that suffices? Okay. Thank you. So if that brought further clarity to the position that we have and what we are actually considering here, again, I’d like to ask for a motion of action. UNGER: I’d like to make a motion. BEAUDET: Go ahead. UNGER: I move that the application to amend Special Management Area Use Permit, Docket Number SMA 314, be approved pursuant to the Planning Department’s recommendations, findings 8 EXHIBIT C
