The Planning Commission recommended favorably the above mentioned
applications to the County Council on Meg 1, 1997. we understand,
as mentioned iu Use Commission's letter to the Council datefl May
20, 1997, that the complete background information by sta1Y and
the recommendation by the Planning Director, has been received by
Llie C~uucil for further review in committee.
As we concur with the staff and Commission, we refer to back-
ground inYurwaLion in order to avoid repetitions.
we request respectfully that conditions D., F., H. and I, be amen-
ded with the Council's permission.
Under the usual circumstances the conditions would be completely
rectified as written. However, in this case, where the development '
acid improvements are already completed and In place, some amendment;
of the wording appears to be proper and in order.
In the case of condition D., underground utilities, a rephrase ofd ,
the last benLence would appear proper in the applicant's opinion.,~„)~` d z~
The entire road between Kona Palisades and Coastvlew reflects the•1iW~,~ m
typical H~LCO Overhead installation, and the applicant would not
have any influence on a change from overhead to undergrounfl. The Y' n`
undersiyued consultant directed this question to the senior staff
of the Engineering Division in Kona. Tom Yack Suggested that under ~ '
signed address this question at the Committee's June 4, 1997 Mee- - " ~ y

the change from overhead to underground would come into effect.
However applic:a~ll is aware that the purpose of this condition
is mainly to assure that applicant's fair share In the Mal
costs of underground utilities in such case could be properly
imposed.
Conditions F,H,I are somewhat related. all improvements are in
place, and applicant has no problem with the conditions that will
not permit additional Ohana units / dwellings. However, applicant
believes, since there are no added units possible, that the fair
share contribution "based on a maximum density for each lot", as
listed in condition H., would then be some kind of double jeopardy,
in view of condition P pertaining to ohanas.
Based on the aLuregaing reasons applicant and consultant requeFt
respectfully a clarification and approval of the applications.
Sincerely,
