JOHN A WAGNER AND CHARLENE Y IBOSHI
CHANGE OF ZONE APPLICATION (REZ 21-000245)
REVISED RECOMMENDATION AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Following the applicant's request (Planning Department Exhibit la), the Planning
Director and applicant have agreed to several revised conditions.
With regards to Conditions B & G, the Planning Director is recommending to remove the
change in tenancy timing trigger and replace with "addition to an existing structure or
development in Condition B". Thus the timing triggers for Condition B & G would remain as
either an establishment of a new permitted land use in the CG zoning district or any addition to
an existing structure or development, which would be consistent with the Hawaii County Code
Chapter 25 Section 25-2-71(a) Zoning Code requirements for Nan Approval.
Concerns were also made of the existing width of the Kino`ole Street sidewalk frontage
in Condition G. Staff conducted a site visit to verify the existing width of the Kino`ole Street
sidewalk with planter strip that fronts the property. At the site visit, staff measured from the base
of the existing wall to the edge of the sidewalk with planter strip to be just under 10 feet at 9.85
feet. Thus possibly not meeting the Department of Public Works 10 -foot wide sidewalk
requirement. The Department of Public Works confirmed to the Planning Department that their
intent was to install the sidewalk from the base of the existing wall to the edge of existing
pavement, even if it is slightly less than 10 feet wide. Based on the preceeding, the Planning
Director is recommending to add to Condition G "or as wide as the present property line and
paved right of way will allow, and" to account for the existing width of the Kino`ole Street
sidewalk.
Lastly, with regards to Condition 0, there is a typographical error in which Condition K,
relating to historic sites is incorrectly mentioned as the exception to the allowance for an initial
extension of time for performance of conditions. The Planning Director is taking this time to
correct the discrepancy to remove Condition K and replace it with Condition J relating to sewer
connection.
Therefore, the Planning Director finds it prudent to revise Condition B, G, and 0 of its
favorable recommendation. As such, the Planning director recommends amending Condition B,
Condition G and Condition 0 as follows:
B. Plan approval shall be required prior to [change in tenancy for the existing office
ase;] establishment of a new land use permitted within the CG zoning district, or any
addition to an existing structure or development according to Section 25-2-7I(a) of
the Zoning Code. A drainage study shall be prepared by professional civil engineer
licensed in the State of Hawai`i and submitted to the Department of Public Works
prior to issuance of a construction permit. Any recommended drainage
improvements, if required, shall be constructed meeting with the approval of the
Department of Public Works prior to receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy for the
new use.
G. Prior to the [ ] establishment of a new
land use permitted in the CG zoning district, or any addition to an existing structure
or development the applicants, successors, or assigns shall provide improvements to
the subject property's entire Kino`ole Street frontage[s] consisting of a "full width"
concrete sidewalk of 10 -foot width or as wide as the present property line and paved
right of way will allow, and meeting with the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and the approval of the Department of Public Works.
G. An initial extension of time for the performance of conditions within the ordinance
except for Condition [K]) may be granted by the Planning Director upon the
following circumstances:
1. The non-performance is the result of conditions that could not have been
foreseen or are beyond the control of the applicants, successors or assigns,
and that are not the result of their fault or negligence.
2. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan
or Zoning Code.
3. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original
reasons for the granting of the change of zone.
4. The time extension granted shall be for a period not to exceed the period
originally granted for performance (i.e., a condition to be performed
within one year may be extended for up to one additional year).
5. If the applicant should require an additional extension of time, the
Planning Director shall submit the applicant's request to the County
Council for appropriate action.
Due to requirements in Hawaii County Code Chapter 2I -County Sewers, the
timing requirement for connection to the county sewer (Condition [K], is not
eligible for an administrative time extension.
