G-6 <br /> KALAOA, NORTH KONA <br /> KEAHOLE GENERATOR SITE <br /> Dear Chairman Arakaki: <br /> During the Kailua-Kona meeting on June 19, 2002, the <br /> Planning Department staff stated that Item No. G-6 is proposed to <br /> be an "Urban Expansion" area because of a 1994 "interpretation" <br /> rendered by the Planning Director. <br /> This is HELCO's current generator station site. There is <br /> no reason to designate this area as "Urban Expansion" unless the <br /> County Council believes that the Council should eventually rezone <br /> this area to let HELLO maintain and expand its station (in the <br /> event the Hawaii Supreme Court rules that HELLO cannot expand its <br /> station under its so-called default entitlement to expand its <br /> station). <br /> No. G-6 allows HELLO, if it loses in the Hawaii Supreme <br /> Court, to ask for a change of zone to allow HELLO to expand the <br /> plant anyway. Without No. G-6, HELLO could not do so. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> Michael J. Matsukawa <br /> MJM: ] ff~131\arakaki.lt1 <br /> co~t~. No,~ ~q C®~ <br /> >G'ile No. <br /> Fief. ~I'o: , <br /> [taf.
