Home

CLARKSON: The next item on the agenda is listed as three items, but they're all from the same Applicant. They all involve the same parcel of land, so it's my understanding that staff would like to combine the presentations. We will proceed on all three at once for discussion but then we'll have to act on each application separately. KAY: Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, Members of the Planning Commission. It's good to see you this morning. So, yeah, we have now with us three different actions. The Applicant is Piilani Partners, LLC. They are requesting an amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92 122 or Rezone 727; a revocation of a Special Management Area Use Permit No. 334; and a new Special Management Area Use Permit Application No. 18-70. The subject property is located in the South Hilo District of Hawaii Island in the Waiakea area. For your reference, we've got Manono Street generally running north and south through the slide here, and Pi`ilani Street running generally east -west. The subject parcel is located here outlined in red, and in a gray color, for your reference, this is the County's Ho`olulu Recreational Complex with the Civic Auditorium. And, then this is the Wailoa State Park. The Applicant is requesting a revocation of Special Management Area Use Permit No. 334, which was granted in 1992 to allow the construction of a warehouse, fish processing plant, accessory office use, parking and related improvements on the subject parcel within the SMA. Also requesting a 5 -year time extension to comply with Condition C, Final Plan Approval, and Condition D, time to complete construction of Change of Zone Ordinance No. 92 122, which reclassified approximately 2.5712 acres from Resort Hotel -Safety — 7,500 square feet district to the Limited Industrial — 20,000 square foot zoning district. Finally, they are requesting an SMA Use Permit to develop a new potable water well and bottling facility with related improvements on an approximately 31,000 -square foot portion of the subject property. The proposed project consists of a supply well, two 100,000 -gallon storage tanks less than 20 feet in height, a booster pump station, a 1,500 -square foot bottling plant warehouse, and a 560 -square foot office building, both less than 20 feet in height and associated parking and landscaping. The Applicant is requesting these things for the following reasons. For the SMA revocation, the original Applicant, Suisan Company, planned to develop this facility in conjunction with a planned fish auction site near the mouth of the Wailoa River. Due to health and other environmental requirements, the planned use of the Suisan Fish Market auction site was terminated. This, along with a sluggish economy at the time, caused Suisan to shift focus to improving its current location. As such, Suisan has decided to abandon the fish processing plant concept and part with the property. So, the recent amendment is based, requested because Suisan abandoned the proposed fish processing project and, as such, did not comply with several conditions of the Change of Zone. The Applicant is requesting a time extension to secure Plan Approval and complete construction EXHIBIT B 2
