Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 325, transmitted by Mayor

amendment to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map as initiated
by the Planning Director, at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: 2-1-03:24 and portion of 23,
reports as follows:
Bill No. 325 amends the County of Hawaii General Plan as adopted by Ordinance No. 89-142
and as amended by Ordinance Nos. 90-71, 91-48, 91-72, 91-131, 92-115, 93-10 and 93-11, by
changing the district classification for approximately 29,489 square feet of land from an Open to
a Resort zoned district.
As noted in the Planning Committee Report No. 143 dated November 15, 1994, the applicant
was proposing to:
1. Renovate the existing Ice House Building and its facade to resemble a Japanese
tea house;
2. Construct a second story addition to the Ice House to house a restaurant with
banquet facilities and a commemorative museum; and
3. Construct athree-story addition to the north side of the existing building with
covered parking on the ground level, 5,900 square feet of commercial office space
on the second level for four (4) commercial office units and 5,900 square feet of
space on the third floor for five (50 residential apartments for use a s transient
accommodation.
On November 15, 1994, the Planning Committee (Takashi Domingo, Brian DeLima,
James Arakaki, Keola Childs, Helene Hale, Jim Rath and Kalani Schutte) voted in favor of
Bill No. 325 and recommended it pass first reading. (Committee Member Bob Rosehill was not
present to vote on this measure.)
On November 30, 1994, Bill No. 325 appeared on the Council agenda for its first reading. On
March 1 1, 1997, the Hawaii County Council referred Bill No. 325 to the Hawaii
Redevelopment Agency for review and consideration. After the HRA reviewed Bill No. 325,
they were supposed to resubmit it to the Planning Committee; however, that was never done and
Bill No. 325 remained in the Planning Committee's pending file.

In the November 2000 election, Hawaii County residents voted to dissolve the Hawaii
Redevelopment Agency. Therefore, Your Committee at today's meeting, voted unanimously to
file Bill No. 325 and all accompanying communications to comply with the Hawaii County
Code, as amended on November 7, 2001, by Bill No. 109, to delete the HRA from Chapter 2,
Article 2, Section 2-7(a)(4).
Your Committee did not entertain further discussion on this measure.
Your Committee on Planning recommends that Bill No. 325 be filed.
