Bill No. 241, transmitted via Communication No. 797 from Mayor William P. Kenoi, dated

Single - Family Residential — 15,000 Square Feet (RS -15) to Single- Family 10,000 Square Feet (RS -10).
There was no public testimony. Applicants were represented at the meeting by Mr. Matt Iseger.
Council Member Brenda Ford queried if the applicants were willing to abide by the conditions from the
Department of Public Works regarding setbacks for road widening at an unspecified, if any, time in the
future. Mr. Iseger indicated that they were aware of the conditions and were willing to abide by them, as
there were no structures or other impediments in the setback area. Mr. Iseger further stated that the
applicants were not planning any future improvements on the properties. There was no further discussion
on the matter.
Your Committee concurs with the Windward Planning Commission and the Planning Director's favorable
recommendation for approval of the Change of Zone request.
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 241 and recommends it
pass first reading.
