MEMORANDUM
TO: Council Members
FROM: Bill Moore, William L. MoorePlanning~~~ '
SUBJECT: West Hawaii Business Park, LLC (Lanihau)
Bill No. 309 Draft 2- Change of Zone
Conditions of Approval
At the Planning Committee meeting, there was discussions regarding the need for curb gutter and
sidewalk CG&S) along Kamauu Street. At that time, the applicant, West Hawaii Business Park
(WHBP) ,LLC requested that this requirement be deleted. There was a proposed amendment to
delete the requirement at the meeting which was defeated and the CG&S requirement retained.
The W HBP, LLC has reviewed its project plans and feels that the construction of curbs, gutters and
sidewalk improvements along Kamanu Street Extension within its boundaries is appropriate, given
the importance of this connection between Hina Lani Street and Kealakehe Parkway. It recognizes
that curbs, gutter and sidewalk improvements are already provided within the Honokohau Business
Park development to the south. In this regard, WHBP, LLC has no objection to the CG&S
requirements and suggests an amendment to Condition J of Bill No. 309, Draft 2 to clarify this
requirement.
In addition, there has been some concern about the potential timing of construction of the Kamanu
Street Extension in the event that Queen Kaahumanu Phase [I improvements are constructed prior
development of the WHBP. In this case, there is no requirement establishing when the Kamanu
Street Extension improvements need to be completed. In order to address this concern, WHBP, LLC
is willing to amend Condition J to require that the Kamanu Street Extension improvements be
completed prior to occupancy of any units except as provided in the condition, independent of the
Queen Kaahumanu Highway Phase lI improvements. This will ensure that the interconnection
between I Iina Lani Street and Kealakehe Parkway is provided, whether or not the Phase [I
improvements of Queen Kaahumanu Highway are completed in a timely manner.
