Re: TMK:3/2-2-37-27
Ordinance no: 87-110
Proposed Bill No. 88, Draft 2
Dear Councilman Arakaki:
Thank you very much for your time and support of my request for the above referenced
ordinance.
At this time I would like to humbly request that on the proposed requirements under
Section 2, Item B [plans for the proposed development, including landscaping and parking, shall
be submitted for plan approval review within one year from the effective date of approval of
change of zone ] be amended to within tw~ears of the effective date of the change of zone
In reviewing my recently completed building along the corner of Kancelehua and Hualani
Streets, the initial building plan process was very lengthy. To complete the initial building plans
with the required landscape, site plan and parking requirements requires communication with the
various departments prior to submitting the initial building plans. Normally it is after that point
that we go to our private professionals to finalize our plans and attach the necessary engineering,
electrical, landscape stamps, etc. that is required. Unlike residential buildings, commercial
buildings take into account so many issues that the submission of the plan process does take a
considerable amount of time.
I would like to humbly request that the submission time be amended to 24 months instead
of the proposed 12 months from the effective date of change of zone to allow us ample time to get
the plans without having to once again burden the County Council and "start over" to extend the
time frames. We will do our best to have the plans ready for approval as soon as possible as it is
our desire to get this project underway as soon as we can. Having the extra time would alleviate
the need of us having to rush people to get the plans reviewed, corrected and resubmitted at each
level.
Your consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your
time and the tireless efforts of the County Council.
Sincerely, `
William V. Brilhante
