SUBJECT: REONELEHUA HEIGHTS PROJECTS
The following are responses to your memo of February 5, 1997.
1. Has your department reviewed the proposed pre-emptions?
Yes.
2. If so, what effects will these pre-emptions have oa the
department's ezisting standards for any improvements normally
required for a development of this sine and the conditions already
imposed by the previously approved documents noted above?
These pre-emptions are in accordance with HRS 201E-210 which deals
with affordable housing projects only. Therefore, this will have
no effect on normal subdivision standards. The pre-emptions for
affordable housing projects are decided on a case-by-case basis.
3. If any standards will be changed by these pre-emptions, what
effect will such changes have oa the issues of public health,
safety, and welfare?
These pre-emptions, as required by law, meet minimum requirements
of health and safety.
4. Will the County (ie. tazpayers) be ezposed to any additional
liability, if any, if all of these are approved?
While this matter should be referred to the Corporation Counsel, in
accordance with HRS 201E-210, "NO action shall be prosecuted or
maintained against any county, its officials, or employees, on
account of actions taken by them in reviewing, approving or
disapproving the plans and specifications."
5. If so, will your department be willing to endorse these
pre-emptions inspite of these?
Our department's responsibilities are to review the construction
plans for minimum requirements of health and safety. These plans
are consistent with these requirements.
For your additional information, all roads in this subdivision will
remain under private ownership. O /
