The subject property fronts the Hawaii Belt Road and is adjacent to
the Lanihau Shopping Center property .
According to the Planning Department, the applicant has no specific

either lease the property for commercial use or to build to suit a
tenant .
Neighboring properties are zoned for commercial uses . The
General Plan designates the property for High Density Urban uses .
The State Land Use Commission classifies the- property as Urban and
the Kona Regional Plan designates the property for General Commercial
uses . •
The subject property falls within the Kailua Village Design
District . The Kailua Village Design Commission , at its March 23 ,
1987 meeting, voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request .
Chairman Takashi Domingo questioned the Planning Director as to -why
the Department of Public Works ' recommendation that the applicant be
required to contribute toward the cost of installing traffic signal .
improvement at the entrance of Lanihau Shopping Center along
Palani Road is not included in the rezoning ordinance .
The Planning Director called on Robert Carlsmith , one of the
applicants , to explain to th-e Committee the agreement that his group
has with Lanihau Corp. According to Mr . Carlsmith , Lanihau Corp.
• will assume their (Mr . Carlsmith 's group ) share of the cost of

In discussing this matter further with the Planning Director ,
committee staff learned that the easement referred to by
Mr . Carlsmith is a road easement, in favor of the applicant, which
runs from Palani Road, near the First Hawaiian Bank property, to the
subject property. According to the Planning Director , if this
agreement had not been arrived at, Lanihau Shopping Center would have
had a road easement running through the parking lot .
In another matter, Chairman Domingo suggested that Condition (G) of
Bill 399 be amended to: (1 ) allow the Planning Director to grant the
developers an initial extension of time to meet various development
conditions and ( 2) require the Planning Director to forward
subsequent time extension requests to the Council for appropriate
action .
Condition (G) of Bill 399 has been amended by adding a new
subsection e ) to read as follows:
e) if the applicant should require an additional
extension of time, the Planning Director shall submit
the applicants ' request to the County Council for
appropriate action .
Water and other essential utilities and services are available to the
property .
Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose
of Bill No. 399 , Draft 2 , and recommends that it pass first reading .
Note: Underscoring is used in this committee report only and will
not appear in Draft 2 of Bill No. 399 .
