No. 481/Bill No. 69 <br /> PLACE: Council Chambers <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i <br /> TIME: 11:00 a.m. <br /> Council Chair and Members <br /> Hawai`i County Council <br /> Hilo, Hawai`i 96720 <br /> Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Bill No. 69, reports as follows: <br /> Bill No. 69, transmitted by Mayor Harry Kim, via Communication No. 481, dated September 19, <br /> 2017, amends Ordinance No. 03-108, which reclassified lands from Single-Family Residential— <br /> 10,000 Square Feet (RS-10)to Industrial-Commercial Mixed—20,000 Square Feet (MCX-20) at <br /> Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawai`i, covered by Tax Map Key: 2-2-050:014 (Applicant: Kawili <br /> Development, LLC) (Area: 22,500 Square Feet). <br /> Mayor Kim forwarded the Windward Planning Commission's favorable recommendation for this <br /> amendment, which would allow a time extension to comply with Conditions B and C. The <br /> project is located at the corner of the intersection of East Kawili Street and Hinano Street and <br /> provides for an approximately 11,600 square foot building or office/retail spaces to be occupied <br /> by the Veterans Administration. <br /> Chair Eoff requested a motion to verbally correct a typographical error in Section 1 of this <br /> measure. The incorrect reference to Ordinance No. 03-109 was verbally amended to reflect <br /> Ordinance No. 03-108. All Council Members present voted in favor. <br /> Planning Consultant Sidney Fuke, representing the applicant, gave a brief overview of the <br /> project, and stated that the applicant was currently out of the State. Mr. Fuke said that this <br /> property was situated on a one-half acre piece of property purchased in 2012. He then stated that <br /> ninety percent of the building was constructed when he became aware of the need to apply for a <br /> time extension when applying for an amendment to accommodate the needs of the Veterans <br /> Administration. He further stated that the projected completion date for this project is mid-2018. <br /> Several Council Members commented with support. The vote was taken on the motion to <br /> approve and passed with eight "ayes." <br /> PC Report No. 39 <br />
