BANYAN DRIVE HAWAI‘I REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
COUNTY OF HAWAI‘I
MINUTES
April 24, 2019
The meeting of the Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency was called to order at 2:15
p.m. in the County of Hawai‘i, Aupuni Center Conference Room, 101 Pauahi Street, Hilo,
Hawai‘i, with Chairman Nathan Gaddis presiding.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Nathan Gaddis (Chairman), Brian DeLima, K.T. Cannon-Eger, Barry
Taniguchi (arrived at 2:23 p.m.)
MEMBERS ABSENT & EXCUSED: Elmer Gorospe
ALSO PRESENT: Michael Yee (Planning Director), Danny Patel (Corporation Counsel
Representative), Alex Roy (Planner), Kim Tanaka (Secretary), Gordon Heit (DLNR
Representative)
A quorum was present with three members in attendance.
STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
There were approximately 9 members of the public in attendance. At 2:15 p.m. Chairman
Gaddis opened the floor to take statements from the public.
GADDIS: Before we move on to any agency business, we’re actually going to go ahead and
take statements from the public, and we just have one person signed up today, Mr. Donald
Inouye. Mr. Inouye, if you can come up and speak into the microphone clearly over here. Give it
a tap.
INOUYE: Well, I’m Don Ino—I mean, recognize the chair and the members present. I’m Don
Inouye from Reed’s Bay Resort Hotel, and you know, in this bill, I think it’s a wonderful thing
depending which side you’re on.
GADDIS: I’m going to interrupt you just briefly. You’re speaking about HB 1219?
INOUYE: On this 1219.
GADDIS: Yes, okay, go ahead.
INOUYE: Right. So on this House Bill 1219, I realize, and I don’t know if Department Land
Natural Resources \[sic\] is still against it. The last time I read they weren’t for it, and then I know
NOHA, I mean the OHA was also against it because if 50 percent of the income goes to this bill,
they supposed to be getting ten percent because of the deeded property. So then I assume there’s
Page 1 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
only 30 percent left that’s going to go to OHA in their operating fund. So there’s a lot of things
in this. So, I mean, whether you’re hopeful that it’s gonna pass or if it don’t pass, and I know the
Women League was against it, but there’s a number of people against it. Now, being Reed’s Bay
Resort Hotel, I had an anniversary last month. My anniversary last month was four years of,
without a lease. Now if this bill gets passed I probably looking to, forward to another political
four years of no lease again. And I’m in a catch 22 situation with the Building Department. You
know I have to still do the things that they require to do in the building, which was in my request
to Department Land Natural Resources to upgrade the building and I’ve had two requests in
there, one for $1,171,000, my last one $2,200,000, and that’s over a year without an answer. But
I can understand that because Banyan Drive Hawai‘i Redevelopment Agency supposed to be the
super agency and come up with the solution, but now we’re going into a new bill phase. And I
hope the best for everything politically, but I am looking forward to another four years probably,
if we do have a new agency appointment in developing what we’re supposed to do with Banyan
Drive. And I—I appreciate whatever help we can get from any source, whether from the
committee here. I understand that you may have to dissolve, but if they don’t pass the bill then
what’s gonna happen? You know, that’s a question that is in my mind. And I don’t really believe
Environmental Impact Statement is, is needed in order to make decisions here in getting Banyan
Drive area set up. And I think we gotta move along on it. And as being a business person, I’ve
taken Banyan Drive from originally a residential building, really one of the worst buildings a far
as the police department was concerned before. I’ve upgraded it. I’ve spent almost $700,000
over the years upgrading that building. And I think we need to get concerned, move along with
the whole program. And I thank you very much.
GADDIS: Yeah, thank you Mr. Inouye. We’re actually going to be discussing House Bill 1219
in the business of the agency a little further into our agenda, but thank you very much for your
statements. Now we can go ahead and move on to business of the agency.
BUSINESS OF AGENCY
1. Presentation by Planning Department staff on the current status of HB 1219 SD2 which
relates to the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment area. This agenda item is for information
and discussion purposes only.
The Agency took this item up at 2:19 p.m. with approximately 9 members of the public in
attendance.
At this time, Chair Gaddis asked Mr. Alex Roy to present an update to the status of House Bill
1219 as it relates to the BDHRA.
ROY: Welcome. Thank you, Chair. Just going to give a little bit of an update on House Bill
1219. It is moving through the process. Just a little background to remind everybody, House Bill
1219 is a bill that designates redevelopment districts for any area of public lands, so this is not
just having to deal with Banyan Drive. This is all over the state, but it does designate Waiākea
Peninsula as redevelopment district specifically in the bill. It’s a planning committee for that
designated district. It’s executive kind of planning committee and, as was discussed earlier, it
Page 2 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
designates 50 percent of the revenue from only the public lands into the district, into revolving
fund to support this new planning committee. So the idea would be that the Waiākea Peninsula
Redevelopment District Committee would replace the Banyan Drive Hawai‘i Redevelopment
Agency. It would be made up of members from DLNR, from the, probably from O‘ahu, and here
on Hawai‘i Island. As of this morning, or as of just a, I checked about 30 minutes ago, this is
kind of the current status. So we see that for the past month its gone through, was adopted,
passed the third reading, was returned from the Senate in its amended form, there was some
disagreement, but the House has appointed conferees, as you can see Yamane, Luke are the co-
chairs, Onishi, Todd, and McDermott are also on that. And the Senate received notice of that
House conferees choice. Now the next steps, of course the Senate would pick its conferees and
the bill would be scheduled for a committee meeting. So it’s unclear how fast that’s, everything
is supposed to pretty much come to a head very, very quickly in the next week and I assume,
maybe Chair could back me up on this, I think it’s supposed to be chosen by this Friday, they
have to kind of wrap everything up.
GADDIS: Yeah, April 26 is basically the deadline. Conferees, they need about 24 hours notice, I
think, given before they start meeting. But it moves at lightning speed at this stage, so yeah.
ROY: Yeah, so we could see some movement within this week and, and so by Monday we’ll
probably know whether or not this is moving forward. So right now I put together at the advice
of the Chair, I put together a letter. I think all members got a copy so I won’t read it, but really
it’s just a support letter for House Bill 1219. One of the sections here, I said it has become
apparent that the BDHRA is unable to garnish the necessary support for the redevelopment of
primarily State-owned lands. So we are, the BDHRA finds that this offers the best chance to
implement the redevelopment of the Waiākea peninsula. So I was putting it to the Agency to
review this letter and, under advice of Chair, we were going to try to submit that as a last kind of
ditch testimony.
GADDIS: And I’ll start off just with a real brief summation. So, at this stage, you know he
mentioned what the general schedule is, but basically what we would do is this letter, assuming
we were to give approval for it and support for it today, it would be immediately sent out to the
relevant people on the House and as soon as the Senate Conference Committee people are
named, that would get passed on to them. Because really, at this phase, like I mentioned earlier
things move super fast so this is just going on the record for them if we do support this letter
stating support from the Agency here that number one, we support the intent and structure of Bill
1219, and then number two, we would commit to sunsetting our own agency as is required in the
Bill. Now I wanna open it up for discussion first, just in general, and have anybody that wants to
chime in, chime in or ask questions at this stage before we take any action on this letter that’s
been drafted. Anyone? Go ahead, K.T.
CANNON-EGER: In paragraph three—pardon me. In paragraph three, Alex, the statement, the
sentence that you read that BDHRA is unable to garnish the necessary support for the
Redevelopment of primarily State-owned lands, I would suggest the insertion of one word
between necessary and support and that word is financial. Thank you.

April 24, 2019 Minutes
GADDIS: Thank you so much. Ms. Eger. Yeah, at this stage I don’t know if we have time or
want to make any further edits. Other board members can chime in and say if they want to
support a further edit to the letter the way that it’s written right now or if they’re okay with it as
is. Any comments on that from other board members?
TANIGUCHI: Thank you Chair, Mr. Chair. Yes, I support getting this letter out ASAP. The one
word is okay, but I think that if we start to wordsmith it, it’s going to just take too long. Let’s get
it out. I with that, I move that we adopt this letter.
GADDIS: Mr. DeLima, any comments?
DELIMA: I second the motion, but I think adding the one word would be good because we
don’t want the Legislation to think that the people are not supportive. So, I think the financial
support is a good clarification that it’s just about money and I think everybody would understand
that. That’s all.
GADDIS: How much time would it take you guys to conceivably do that? I—could be super
fast or not just for information.
ROY: Yeah, we could get it right out. I mean as soon as we’re done here I’ll go get it drafted.
GADDIS: Okay, five minutes I think we can support.
TANIGUCHI: The reason I don’t want to wordsmith is that it’s not only financial, it’s also
political support—
GADDIS: Yeah.
TANIGUCHI: —you know, there’s problems out there. There are other issues, but—
GADDIS: Yeah, I agree completely. Yeah. Any other comments from anyone present today on
either House Bill 1219 itself or the letter that’s drafted sitting in front of you? Okay, well at this
time we’ll open it up if someone wants to make a motion to adopt this letter that’s been written
and presented and to send it off to the relevant people.
TANIGUCHI: I so move with the word financial.
DELIMA: Second.
GADDIS: Okay, seconded by DeLima. All in favor say aye.
ALL: Aye.
GADDIS: All opposed, nay. The aye’s have it. We adopt the letter and it’ll be edited as
mentioned and sent out as soon as possible to the relevant people.

2. Review and discussion of prospective County zoning changes for privately owned parcels
located within the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment area. This agenda item is for
information and discussion purposes only.
The Agency took this item up at 2:28 p.m. with approximately 9 members of the public in
attendance.
GADDIS: If there’s no further discussion of House Bill 1219, then we’ll go ahead and move
onto our next agency item which is review and discussion of prospective County zoning changes
for some of these privately owned parcels located within the redevelopment area, and by
redevelopment area we mean not necessarily right on that peninsula itself. It encompasses a little
more and Planning will illustrate that for us. Go ahead.
ROY: Okay, so I bring before you a couple instances of private properties in the redevelopment
area that have expressed interest in applying for rezoning. The first is the Ice House right there in
the center, and then the Hilo Iron Works building facility here down in the left hand corner. So
this is the Hilo Iron Works complex. You can see it’s a number of buildings, and this is the Hilo
Iron Works original building, and there’s a number of commercial activities, uses here. So it’s a,
already an ongoing kind of commercial industrial type area. The entire, there’s like five or six or
maybe more parcels that are all kind of grouped together here that make up this kind of complex.
So the Hilo Iron Works complex the current zoning is open and of course we know the existing
uses include commercial buildings, some industrial mixed use. The owner did inquire about a
possible rezone from open to industrial. Now the LUPAG, the General Plan does designate this
area as industrial and however, and the BDHRA plan, the 12/12 plan identifies this as
commercial industrial. So I’ll go through that real quick. The second one is the Ice House. This is
right in the midst of the Waiākea Peninsula; see the building here, parking lot and the store is on
this side. So the current zoning also is open and, but does not, that zoning does not permit the
increase to the commercial activities. Right now the Ice House is relegated to selling ice cream
and is unable to do anything else other than, really, that. The LUPAG designates, so the General
Plan designates it as open, so it keeps it in the open zoning district. However, the BDHRA plan,
12/12, identifies this area as commercial industrial. So this is the current zoning of the area, right
now, and we can see both sites are zoned open. And the LUPAG designation keeps the Ice
House open, but as you can see, moves the Hilo Iron Works into the industrial, along with some
of these other areas here, and here you got some medium density urban, and of course the resort
zoning. This is a remnant for Suisan, I believe, something like that. No?
Inaudible conversation held.
ROY: I’m not sure, it a, like I said it’s a remnant. The LUPAG kind of has a—
CANNON-EGER: That’s Isles, but Suisan is that there and they are a privately held piece also.
ROY: Yeah, yeah. I’m, today I brought up the only private properties that I’m discussing were
ones that have actively come to the Planning Department looking for some kind of rezoning help.
Page 5 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
So if these others are interested, definitely we would wanna know, but right now these are the
only two that have, have expressed any interest directly.
So here’s the tomorrow land, this is our 12/12 plan and I’ve outlined just to kind of show you
that it was discussed in the past and the Plan did call for the Ice House being rezoned to a
commercial mixed use as well as the Hilo Iron Works complex. So at one point in time the
BDHRA had decided that that might have been an option. However, this is kind of the LUPAG,
you know the General Plan long term, and then we have of course the existing. So there’s a little
bit of discrepancies for the Ice House, but as far as the Hilo Iron Works, it seems to be consistent
with changing that or allowing that to change to a commercial industrial zoning. So that’s all I
have right now.
TANIGUCHI: Can you point out the other privately held parcels?
ROY: So here’s a map showing the private parcels are in blue, so and County managed, and
then the State owned, you can see is in the dark green. So we have of course transfer, we have up
here is—
CANNON-EGER: Banyan Hibachi.
ROY: Yeah. And then of course these down here are Hilo Iron Works and then this is the Sui-
not the Suisan but—
CANNON-EGER: The powerhouse and Suisan.
ROY: The firehouse \[sic\]. Yeah. So those are the only privately owned parcels that appear in,
really this is the redevelopment area.
CANNON-EGER: (Inaudible) —blue triangle right there, yeah.
HEIT: The old A & B Hardware store on the corner, yeah, that’s in the open zone area, yeah?
Have they ever come to the Planning Department for mixed use or use of their property?
ROY: I have not seen anything, no.
HEIT: Cause quite different from what it used to be several years ago.
ROY: I mean maybe—
HEIT: It’s more of a commercial retail outlet.
ROY: Well the, the our, the BDHRA plan does call for expanding some of that commercial
action and activity down in that area. And again at some point the BDHRA must’ve decided that
that, you know, expanding that use down there was helpful for the whole plan. But again, the
Page 6 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
private parcels, it’s, they’re kind of all spread out unfortunately. And then the big State, swath of
State zoning right through the, cutting right through the heart of Waiākea peninsula.
GADDIS: Thanks a lot. Yeah, is it, anyone have any comments on this or questions?
DELIMA: I have some questions. I just want to clarify the HELCO parcel, that’s, the LUPAG is
open as well?
ROY: Current zoning is open and LUPAG is open, yes.
DELIMA: And then Banyan Drive plan was to make that a—
ROY: That also was going to be turned to commercial mixed use.
DELIMA: Commercial mixed use. Okay. And then the Iron Works, you have commercial
industrial?
ROY: Yeah. Yeah.
DELIMA: Not mixed use?
ROY: Well, I, the label of red up here says commercial mixed use but then you see the label
says commercial industrial, so.
DELIMA: Yeah. But the industrial designation would allow what type of activities the mixed
use wouldn’t?
ROY: I’d have to check on that, I’m not sure specifically.
DELIMA: Okay.
ROY: One of the concerns though is the proximity to the stream here, to the river.
DELIMA: Well that’s the point that I would be concerned with in terms of industrial use.
ROY: Yeah.
DELIMA: You don’t want to cause more problems.
ROY: Yeah, I don’t think they’re—
DELIMA: But in terms of commercial mixed use—
ROY: Yeah.
Page 7 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
DELIMA: Because the sewer, doesn’t the sewer line run along the street?
ROY: Right along here.
DELIMA: Yeah, so to me commercial mixed use would make sense because you have the
infrastructure there to accommodate the waste. So, and it’s within, if you have good traffic area,
so it would make sense for us to do that. And the reason I’m opposed to the open designation,
and I want to facilitate the rezoning is because if you don’t do so and you continue the open, the
private developer will be unable to maintain their property and then it deteriorates and then it
doesn’t get the use that it should. It just would be better for the overall community and that’s the
same argument I’m, I’ve made regarding the Ice House. And I’ve disclosed previous meetings,
but for the sake of disclosure, I previously represented Mr. Bockrath, I do not represent him now,
have not for a while, so I don’t believe I have a conflict, but I think it’s important that I disclose
that past representation. But I still think that we should designate because if it continues to, for
example, I’m supportive of the park and we would not want to have activities at the Ice House
that would not complement the park area. But the present zoning doesn’t facilitate the private
owner to act in a way to maintain the property so it doesn’t become an eyesore. So if you provide
the landowner a reasonable economic use of the property, then it can be complementary to the, to
the park. So I, that’s my thought on that. And then in regards to the Hilo Bay Café, now that’s
leasehold property, belongs to the State, but that too is open. And the Suisan parcel is also open.
ROY: No, the, currently these are in the limited industrial. This is all limited industrial here.
DELIMA: Oh, the zoning is limited industrial?
ROY: That’s current, yeah. This is the current zoning.
CANNON-EGER: Go back one more and show Mr. DeLima that Suisan is that privately held—
DELIMA: Yeah, I see that little small blue area, right?
CANNON-EGER: Small blue triangle is Suisan and that’s a privately held parcel.
ROY: So this is a map of ownership of the current—
DELIMA: Suisan is a privately held parcel but the Hilo Bay Café is a leasehold property.
GADDIS: Yeah, correct.
DELIMA: Now, and you’re saying that the Hilo Bay Café and the Suisan is all in a industrial?
ROY: It’s called limited industrial, 20,000 square foot. So yeah, it’s industrial but limited to
size.
DELIMA: So it’s consistent with the General Plan and—
Page 8 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
ROY: Well the General Plan then, that’s why this gets a little funky over here. And I haven’t
resolved this yet. I‘ve haven’t really looked into this, why this doesn’t align with any parcel
boundaries. So as you can see the General Plan designates some of this area to be industrial but
it’s not, doesn’t seem to jive with the property boundaries so I’m not sure, I haven’t looked into
that yet.
DELIMA: So, so I would be supportive of, to make things consistent and provide the property
owners some reasonable economic value. The other parcel in terms of the private loaner near the
Grand Naniloa is already, has a designation of—
ROY: Sure.
DELIMA: So I think that person has the ability to have economic use because of the V
designation.
ROY: Yeah, they’d be staying in the resort—
DELIMA: Yup.
ROY: And that’s why I bring up the plan that was, you know, kind of solidified through the
BDHRA which kind, which outlines these areas, you know as industrial kind of commercial type
areas. So I had to imagine that discussions and after looking through some of the older minutes,
these discussions, you know, the points that you make definitely have come up previously.
DELIMA: Well, thank you.
GADDIS: Which zoning designation is the Ice House pursuing right now? Or what have they
voiced?
ROY: I believe it was industrial?
BOCKRATH (from audience): Industrial.
GADDIS: Industrial.
ROY: Light industrial, yeah, that’s right. Light industrial.
GADDIS: Thanks.
TANIGUCHI: What is his application for? You applying for rezoning?
GADDIS: Sir go ahead and state your name so we get you into the minutes here.
BOCKRATH: We recently received an occupancy permit to open up a small ice cream parlor.
Page 9 of 13
Banyan Drive Hawaiʽi Redevelopment Agency
April 24, 2019 Minutes
GADDIS: Sorry, state your name sir, if you don’t mind real quick.
BOCKRATH: Beg your pardon?
GADDIS: State your name because it gets recorded in the minutes, thanks.
BOCKRATH: Jon Bockrath, owner 21 Banyan Drive, Ali‘i Ice.
GADDIS: Thank you.
BOCKRATH: We recently received an occupancy permit to open up a small soda fountain.
Soda fountain, but limited in what we can sell to strictly frozen products that we produce,
technically, by Planning. We’d like to expand a little bit to generate more revenue and improve
our property.
GADDIS: Did we want to get any feedback from, or does Planning want to provide any
feedback as far as just general perspective on those two parcels, currently the Iron Works and
currently the Ice House as far as both of those, since they’re both wanting to head in the same
zoning designation. Any perspective on what the general concerns would be for one or the other
for pursuing industrial at this point?
KANUHA: Duane Kanuha, Deputy Planning Director. The biggest issue is the General Plan, the
Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map because whatever zoning request comes in on a parcel
by parcel basis has to be consistent with the General Plan. So the parcels that are General Plan
open, and County zoned open, they’re going to be difficult. And this, you know, if there’s some
way to amend the General Plan in an expeditious manner, which there isn’t. The only thing I can
hold out for you is that we’re kind of getting to the last stages of a comprehensive General Plan
amendment process, so there may be an opportunity there to provide some input in terms of what
the, what you’d like to see happen for Banyan Drive.
GADDIS: Okay.
KANUHA: And I think the other component that plays here is, I believe some of these
properties were allowed to remain through the old Hawai‘i Redevelopment Agency master plan
under 35 year use restriction. And so once that ran out, then I think that’s where the difficulty
becomes because all of a sudden now they’re nonconforming and if, if they were allowed to
remain as a nonconforming use, normally what happens is a nonconforming use or structure can
stay there until it either falls down by itself or if someone wants to come in and redo it. If that
were the case, and there wasn’t a time limit on it, then these facilities could still remain, be in use
for what they were used for, until one of those two things happen. But unfortunately because of
this 35 year timeframe, that puts some of these facilities, I think the Ice House in particular, in a
real jam because now they’re inconsistent with zoning, they’re inconsistent with the General
Plan, but they’re allowed as a nonconforming use to the HRA plan.
Page 10 of 13

April 24, 2019 Minutes
GADDIS: Thanks, that was a really good summation, Mr. Kanuha. Go ahead Mr. DeLima.
DELIMA: Yeah, I don’t quarrel with anything Mr. Kanuha indicated. I do wanna indicate
though that when those HRA decisions were made in the 60s, that was prior to a lot of the case
law regarding taking of private property by zoning. So there have been cases in the 70s and 80s
that indicated that designating open is a taking of private property because you do not allow the
private owner reasonable economic use of his property. The 35-year designation, the purpose of
that was to balance what they call, I forgot the term where you kind of give the person an
opportunity to make some money over a period of time and that was to be compensate for the
open designation, but there’s been cases that kind of suggest that that may be not enough. So, I
think there’s a balance that needs to occur. The designation obviously was open because of the
fact that we had a big tidal wave in 1960, but at the same time, you, you know, there’s a idea of
equal protection and treating people fairly, so you cannot say one person, okay you open, but
right across the street we’re gonna allow economic activity of a different nature. Or down the
road you’re gonna allow something of a different nature. And on the top of that, even though you
are not going to allow a person to have a small little designation of mixed commercial use, we’re
gonna increase this whole density less than 200 yards away. So there is food for thought. But we
just gotta make sure everybody feels that they’re being treated fairly and that nobody’s getting
squashed. No offense but Mr. Bockrath is not getting any younger either, we’re all getting older
every day, so.
GADDIS: Mr. Kanuha—I’m sorry, was somebody else chiming in? No. Mr. Kanuha, so if there
were any, if there were to be any kind of agency action as far as giving some sort of opinion one
way or the other on something like General Plan amendments, when would that have to be
accomplished by so that there’s something on the record from this agency if they wanted to make
any kind of a voice one way or the other on amending General Plan, like you mentioned.
KANUHA: My understanding of the scheduling for that program is that it’s, it’s not gonna
happen anytime real soon. I think the timeframe to move it into the realm of public hearings,
public meetings, things of that nature, will probably be around maybe the end of summer.
September, someplace like that.
GADDIS: Okay, that helps. Yeah. So I’d just like to open for discussion really quickly looking
ahead to the next meeting, you know they’ve discussed sort of this conundrum that these
landowners are in. You know you have General Plan versus current zoning, you know you have
some landowners that are sort of stuck in their current uses. I just want to open for discussion
putting on the next agenda a discussion about any potential amendment, any potential support for
amendments to the General Plan for areas on the peninsula that are in this sort of situation.
Anybody have any comments on that? Feedback? Putting that on the next meeting agenda.
Okay, if someone wants to make a motion to put on the next agenda discussion of potential
General Plan amendments along the peninsula, or at least agency support or non-support for
potential General Plan amendments, we could, if we’re gonna discuss that we may as well put it
on, make a motion for that.
