Dear Mr. Lim:
Change of Zone Ordinance No. 94-34 (REZ. 801)
Applicant: International Development Projects
Subject: Extension of Time to Condition B (Secure Final Subdivision Approval)
Tax Man Key: 7-5-17:32
This is in response to your letter dated August 11, 2000, regarding an initial extension of time for
Condition B of Ordinance No. 94-34, effective August 23, 1995.
Condition B states as follows:
"B. Final Subdivision Approval of the proposed development shall be secured within
five (5) years from the effective date of this change of Zone Ordinance."
Based on this condition, Final Subdivision Approval should be secured by August 23, 2000.
You have informed us that International Development Projects, Ltd. is requesting the time
extension in order to reconfigure its project design to meet current market demands for RS-20
lots in the Kailua-Kona area. You anticipate compliance with this requirement within the five-
year extension period.
Based on the above circumstances, the Planning Director determines that non-performance is a
result of conditions that could not have been foreseen, the granting of the extension would not be
contrary to the General Plan or Zoning Code nor contrary to the original reasons for granting the
Comm. No, 10 y
File No.

change of zone. You are hereby granted an administrative extension to Condition C until
August 23, 2005.
$900 was made in December 1994, however there were insufficient funds in the account. Based
on the fact that the applicant is no longer alive and the property is in foreclosure, we are
providing relief by requiring the water commitment to be paid within 90 days upon transfer of
title of the property to the new owner.
Please be informed that should an additional extension of time be needed in order to comply with
conditions, your request and $250 filing fee for an additional extension of time to the Planning
Department. A public hearing on the request will be held by the Planning Commission, who will
forward their recommendation to the County Council for final approval.
Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Susan Gagorik or
Phyllis Fujimoto at 961-8288.
Sincerely,
