Dear Ms. Bobby Jean Leithead Todd,
We just returned from the Hawaii County Council office, Kona branch. They suggested
that we contact you prior to our Tuesday, April 7"' meeting regarding conditions from the
Planning Commission's letter dated March 9, 2009 which appears to be your Bill No. 54.
Please review our response to the conditions.
Please note that Phase I of our project has been completed and occupied and that Phase 11
and III are currently permitted and under construction. Phase I, II, and III will
accommodate an MCX-la occupancy.
Condition D: Phase I is completed and occupied. Phase 11 and III are permitted and
under construction. The permitted plans will be forwarded "as is" to the Planning
Director for Final Plan Approval as an MCX-la occupancy. We want to continue
construction on the project while the application for re-zoning is being processed.
Condition G: Olowalu Street driveways and sight distances were part of Phase I. Phase I
has been completed, accepted, and occupied prior to the Revision of Chapter 22 Hawaii'I
County Code and respectfully should not be required to be altered, changed, or amended.
Condition H: The only new driveway connection to the property is from Kamanu Street
permitted with Phase lI as a "right-in / right-out only" mainly due to the recently installed
median curb on Kamanu Street. We will honor the sight distance condition from DPW
of five foot sight distance setback from County property within three to eight feet from
the Kamanu driveway north to Hina Lam Street.

require an Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact us at 987-9719 as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
William and Dixie Minson, owners
