Matson Davis, of Manini Holdings, stated that the vacant lot was used by a nearby restaurant for <br />parking temporarily, but that has nothing to do with Kona Brew Pub parking. <br />Commissioner Crusat asked if the bioreactors would be visible from the highway. Mr. Riehm <br />said they would be visible and they propose to paint them gray in color. <br />Mr. Mark stated in regards to the proposed reduced parking, that the director would be receptive <br />to reducing the number of required parking spaces in the industrial zoned area based on the <br />number of uses proposed. <br />Vice Chair Roth asked if there were any other questions by the Commissioners and <br />recommended that they focus on the items that have been changed and not revisit items that have <br />not changed since being previously approved. Vice Chair Roth said to keep in mind that many <br />aspects of this project have gone above and beyond code requirements and we should consider <br />that they now want to make reductions on some items. <br />Mr. Riehm discussed the option of real vs. faux rock wall being used for the project and that they <br />would like to use concrete to look like real rocks. He also stated they are also requesting to <br />change the color of the paint on the siding; reduce the planting material; change in roof <br />configuration; and omit some parking and add a bio-swale. <br />Commissioner Van Pernis noted that the project should remain as previously approved, and not <br />use faux rock or to reduce landscaping. He further stated that the elimination of the sidewalk and <br />addition of the bio-swale should have been presented when the project was previously presented <br />to the Commission. <br />Commissioner Ikeuchi commented that for cultural input, she does not see a problem with using <br />faux rock as sometime people carelessly harvest lava rock. <br />Commissioner Hetherington commented on the roof color proposed and thought it would not be <br />visible, and okay for a mottled color, and was not opposed to the use of faux rock. He further <br />noted in regards to the proposed landscaping changes for the bio-swales, that if approved, they <br />would have the option to change out to parking in the future, and would prefer it if red rock <br />cinder was used in the bio-swale, instead of quarry type rock gravel. <br />Commissioner Ikeuchi noted in regard to landscaping that lush green colors are prime, but if for <br />less environmental impact, then they could find way to use more native plants that use less water <br />and recommended keeping the sidewalk to keep the project looking more inviting and more <br />public. <br />Mr. Riehm said they will have to come back to choose a color for the cooler and the roof will <br />have to be a lighter color. <br />Mr. Riehm said the gray would be the best color and offered the choices of Zynar 500 colors: <br />Zinc gray or ash gray. Mr. Riehm also suggested that the cooler and the bioreactor be the same <br />color of the building or ash gray or zinc gray. <br />Vice Chair Roth also suggested that the cooler and the bioreactor be the same color of the <br />building or ash grey or zinc grey and other Commissioners agreed with that recommendation. <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
