ORDINANCES: for Ordinances.
Bill 204: AMENDS ORDINANCE NO. 06-47, WHICH RECLASSIFIED LANDS
FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS -10) TO GENERAL
COMMERCIAL (CG -10) AT WAIAKEA, SOUTH HILO, HAWAII,
COVERED BY TAX MAP KEYS: 2-2-028:030,032 AND 033
(ADDlicant: Janice Oshiro) (Area: 28.002 sauare feet)
The Windward Planning Commission forwards its favorable recommendation
for this amendment to request a five-year time extension to complete
construction and an administrative time extension that could provide for an
additional five years to complete construction, to allow for the conversion of
two existing single-family dwellings into office spaces. The property is located
approximately 163 feet northeast of the intersection of Kilauea Avenue and
Lanikaula Street.
Reference: Comm. 1135
Intr. by: Ms. Eoff (B/R)
Motion to Approve: Ms. Poindexter moved to pass Bill 204 on first reading.
Seconded by Ms. David.
CHR. EOFF: Council Members, we have the background report from the
Windward Planning Commission and we have applicant, consultant,
Mr. Syd Fuke here. Would you like to come forward in case there are any
questions or would you like to provide us a little bit more background?
(Note: At this time, Planning Consultant Sydney Fuke, representing
applicant Jan Oshiro, came forward to address the members of the
Committee.)
MR. FUKE: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, my name is Sydney Fuke.
I'm here representing a good friend of mine, Jan Oshiro. She had, actually the
family had the property a number of years ago. And they were all kind of set to
do something, and unfortunately, her father passed away. So, that kind of waylaid
a lot of their plans for the property. But, nevertheless, there are two dwellings on
the property. And, you know, the property has since been used productively.
They've been kind of renting it out. But her ultimate goal is really to convert
those dwellings into small little offices. But, you know, that will take some time.
That will take building permit activity, change of use permits, so on and so forth.
And in the meantime, the time to convert those structures into commercial kind of
like lapsed. And so, that's the reason why she's asking for the extension and we
respectfully request your approval for it.
