ASSESSMENT APPLICATION
HAWAII TROPICAL BOTANICAL GARDEN
TAX MAP KEY: 2-7-9:2 AND 2-7-10:22
Copy of letter to Dan J. Lutkenhouse, Founder and
Director, Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, from
Planning Director Norman K. Hayashi, dated August 23,
1991, responding to his letter of July 22, 1991,
together with his SMA Use Permit Assessment Application
and supporting information for the proposed
construction of a new access road, parking area, foot
bridge, rain shelter, restrooms, foot trails and
expansion of botanical garden.
States the SMA Use Permit Assessment Application is
reviewed to assess, cumulatively, the proposed project
and to determine whether a SMA Minor Permit or a SMA
Major Use Permit is required, and that based on the
PC-62 Page 2 September 11, 1991
Comm. 2804: information submitted, it was determined that the
(Cont'd) appropriate procedure would be to pursue obtaining a
SMA Major Use Permit from the Planning Commission as
the proposal is considered part of a larger expansion
plan; therefore, their decision in his previous
submittal was not a denial of a permit but to direct
him to the appropriate permitting procedure.
