extension to secure subdivision approval), Condition J (drainage improvements) and Condition V (fair
share payment) of Ordinance No. 04-56.
The Leeward Planning Commission, at its duly held public hearing on May 19, 2016, concurred with the
Planning Director's reasons for recommending a favorable consideration to amend Conditions B and J
and an unfavorable consideration to amend Condition V.
Former Council Member Curtis Tyler said he appreciated the addition of the correct Hawaiian
diacritical markings but provided comments that were largely critical of the proposed
amendments.
Stanford Carr, president of Alii Palms, LLC, was present. Mr. Can spoke to Mr. Tyler's
numerous concerns about the amended conditions. Mr. Can also said he would be happy to walk
the property with Mr. Tyler.
Mr. Kanuha and Ms. David both expressed hope that Mr. Can could meet with Mr. Tyler.
Mr. Kanuha said this would be heard a few more times.
