Dear Dr. Chen:
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 00-061 (REZ 945)
Applicant: Thomas C. Chen
Subject: Condition B (Removal of Existing Abandoned Driveway)
Tax Maa Kev• 2-2-20: 11
This is in response to a conversation between yourself and Susan Gagorik of our staff on
July 3, 2000, concerning compliance with Condition B of your ordinance.
Condition B states as follows:
"B. The existing non-conforming abandoned driveway on Kinoole Street shall be
removed and a concrete sidewalk constructed in its place, meeting with the
approval of the Department of Public Works. The improvements shall be
completed within five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance."
A previous letter to you from our department dated June 22, 2000, stated that these
improvements needed to be completed before you establish any commercial uses on the subject
property. After further review of the ordinance, we have determined otherwise.
Your building was fully operational since you secured a Use Permit for doctors' office in 1984.
Condition B of Ordinance No. 00-061 does not state any limitations or timeframe for ;
establishing commercial uses on the property, therefore, we see no reason for restricting the
establishment of commercial activity on the subject property.

You may proceed with these uses as you desire, keeping in mind that the existing abandoned
driveway shall be removed within five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance or by
May 23, 2005.
We apologize for any inconvenience our original letter may have caused you. Should you have
any questions regarding this matter, please contact Susan Gagorik or Phyllis Fujimoto at
961- 8288.
Sincerely,
