We shall process the amendment to Use Permit No. 74 under separate cover as it requires a public hearing. Ordinance No. 99-79 requires that the applicant subdivide and convey approximately 10 acres to the Pu'uanahulu Community Association or designee for the development of a community park within six (6) months of the effective date of the ordinance or by December 23, 1999. You have explained that the applicant is in the process of complying with this requirement and has secured tentative approval. Additional time is needed to secure final subdivision approval and to convey, record, and title search the property. Based on your request, the Planning Director has determined that non-compliance with this condition is beyond the control of the applicant, would not be contrary to the General Plan or the original reasons for approving the request. You are hereby granted a six (6) month administrative extension until June 23, 2000 to complete the process. .2. SlS .003 Comm. No._ Ftile No. r2 N K t~ Ref. Tot_~~~,~, Ref.

Unfortunately, this will not be possible. The effective date of the amendment to the zoning ordinance was June 23, 1999. The subdivision application was then filed on September 29, 1999. Tentative approval was granted on December 10, 1999, subject to a number of conditions. These conditions are now being worked upon, and the final plat map with the letter of staking should be forthcoming within the next week. Subsequent to issuance of final subdivision approval, the property must still be recorded with the State Bureau of Conveyances. The appropriate conveyance document must also be prepared and then submitted to the Pu'uanahulu Community Association. A title search of the area to be conveyed will also have to be undertaken to assure that there are no liens or encumbrances on the area to be conveyed. We believe that these can occur within the next 60 days. In the meantime and in the interest of good faith, the applicant will be forwarding a draft of the conveyance document to the Association for its review. This draft is being worked upon by Mr. Ben Tsukazaki. In view of the foregoing and pursuant to condition V of Ordinance No. 99-79, a 60 day extension is being requested. We note that the Use Permit does not allow for any administrative extension. As such, the applicant requests an amendment to Condition 4(a) of Use Permit by allowing a 60- day time extension to February 23, 2000. We believe that said extension would enable the applicant to fulfill the mandate of this condition. The required filing fee of $250 is enclosed. Further, we will be sending a notice of this matter to the affected surrounding property owners before January 7, 2000. Ms. Virginia Goldstein, Director December 27, 1999 Page 2 Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, SIDNEY M.
