2016-12-01 Hearing Transcript - Kukuihaele Plantation House LLC Revoke USE 204

Home

The Applicant is requesting to revoke Use Permit No. 204, which was originally approved on April 1, 2005, to World Healing Institute to allow the establishment of a children's convalescent facility on approximately 31 acres of land within the Resort -Hotel – 25,000 square foot or V-25 zoning district. The landowner has submitted a letter requesting to revoke Use Permit No. 204, as the center ceased its operation at the end of 2011. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the revocation request. With that, that concludes our presentation. HENKEL: Thank you, Jeffrey. Are there any questions of staff from the Commission? DARROW: Just for information, our next application will also be referencing the same area and properties. HENKEL: Thank you. No questions. Is there a representative for the Applicant who would like to present? Good morning, Mr. Fuke. FUKE: Good morning. HENKEL: Do you affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Planning Commission? FUKE: Yes, I do. HENKEL: Thank you. State your name and proceed. FUKE: Sure. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Happy holidays to all. My name is Sidney Fuke. I'm a planning consultant. I'm here to assist the landowner, Ms. Alletta Bell, who is seated over here. She is actually requesting the revocation of the Use Permit, and as Mr. Darrow had indicated, the subsequent application calls for the downzoning of the three existing parcels. Her plan is basically to use the three existing parcels for residential purposes, but it gets a little bit frustrating because you have all of these existing entitlements that kind of confuse like how the lands can be used, and so, inasmuch as the, there are limitations in terms of water. There's actually only one water meter assigned to each of those parcels. That's the reason why the zoning change is gonna be rather unorthodox in the sense that you have like a residential five acres and a residential ten acres, and this would then prohibit the further subdivision of the property so, it's a very, very low density project, and we respectfully request your favorable consideration in, on—on this as well, the revocation, as well as the subsequent applications. Before leaving, I'd like to just kind of make a comment, and, you know, this is Planning Director Kanuha's last meeting before the Commission, and I think I speak for everyone in this room as well as many of my other friends outside there and the general community that, you know, he will be sorely missed. I think that he provided guidance to the Commission, appropriate guidance to the Commission, and we hope that whoever is going to be the new Planning Director will provide similar guidance and leadership to the Commission as well. Thank you. EXHIBIT B 2
