Subject: Special Permit Application — Additional Information and Revisions
Applicant: Robert Silber
Kamaili, Pahoa, Puna, Hawaii TMK (3) 1-3-002:140
We are in receipt of the Background and Recommendation Reports on the subject application.
We have reviewed the proposed conditions and appreciate the work that has gone into crafting
them.
The applicant would like the ability to construct one (1) potable water storage tank of 20,000
gallons capacity instead of two (2) tanks of 10,000 gallons capacity each.
The applicant would also like to request the option to store water for fire suppression purposes in
a pond if approved by the Fire Department. The proposed pond would maintain at least 60,000
gallons of water at all times. This could be accomplished by a square pond approximately 40 feet
on each side and on average 4 feet deep. Please see attached conceptual site plan showing the
approximate proposed location of the pond.
We understand the need for accelerated deadlines on as -built permitting requirements and
appreciate the suggested six-month deadline on Conditions 3, 6, 8, 14 (with the potential for one
additional six-month period by administrative approval). However, we are concerned that the
lengthy review times often encountered at permitting agencies may cause the applicant to miss
these deadlines despite their best efforts. Based on recent discussions regarding the time to
perform conditions of approval on projects more broadly we would respectfully request
consideration that time spent in agency reviews not be counted toward the total time elapsed for
those conditions.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to direct them to me. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
JOHN PIPAN
Planning Administrator
