DELIMA: Okay, come on up. <br /> INOUYE: I'll be very short and brief <br /> DELIMA: Okay, thank you very much. <br /> INOUYE: Chairperson DeLima and board members, I appreciate being able to talk to you. <br /> When Senate Bill 1530 was passed, about four or five years ago, I've been waiting for some <br /> type of lease, and as everyone should know, Reed's Bay is on a month-to-month revocable <br /> lease. I have built the tourist business to over a million dollars last year in such a short time. I <br /> have a question, or request, from your planning board. Is it necessary for me to get approval <br /> from you before I am able to apply for, and send in a proposal to, Department of Land and <br /> Natural Resources to apply for a regular lease since scenario two has been approved by you? <br /> DELIMA: Well, I don't believe so, but I'm not the legal counsel for the County, so I think it <br /> would be best if you draft a letter to the Planning Director so it can be answered in the proper <br /> channels. <br /> INOUYE: Yeah, I did. I have one already prepared but I wasn't, didn't know whether I had <br /> to get permission from the planning board,your board <br /> DELIMA: I don't think you do,but you should send it to the Planning Director and they can <br /> give you a formal response. <br /> INOUYE: Oh, Planning Director. Oh okay. <br /> DELIMA: Yeah, and then we can discuss it,but I don't believe that's the case. But it would <br /> be better if you put it in writing and you got something in writing. <br /> INOUYE: Okay, it's necessary? <br /> DELIMA: Nothing is necessary,but probably in your best interest. <br /> INOUYE: I mean would DLNR accept my proposal to go ahead? <br /> DELIMA: Oh,that's a different story. <br /> INOUYE: Oh, okay. Thank you. <br /> DELIMA: We're not with DLNR. DLNR,their board,they have different roles and <br /> INOUYE: Well you know,they have put four different studies and that has prevented my <br /> hotel from applying for a lease extension, and they just started a fifth one. I realize that they <br /> have their plans and what they're gonna do,but I always thought that they were reliant on <br /> you all to make the decision in whatever we're going to do on Banyan Drive. <br /> DELIMA: Well,we came up with the conceptual plan,but there are other issues involved in <br /> terms of land leases, etcetera, so you may be interested in the legislation that's before the <br /> Page 7 of 18 <br /> Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency <br /> February 22,2017,Minutes <br />
