CLAUDIA ROHR (PL-BOA-2025-000119) Appeal of Decision by the Planning Director Dated April 11, 2025, Regarding Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit Assessment Application (PL-SAA-2025-0002 80) Exemption.

CLAUDIA ROHR (PL-BOA-2025-000121) Appeal of Decision by the Director of Public Works Dated April 1, 2025, Regarding Issuance of Building Permit No. PW.B2024-005123. Location: 14 Oeoe Street, Hilo, HI 96720 TMK: (3) 2-1-018:013; Owners: Barbara and Richard Standke. Please carefully read the attached Agenda for instructions about in-person location, zoom hearing technology, and written testimony. I appealed the Planning Director's April 11, 2025 decision to exempt the new development described in PL-SAA-2025-000280 from SMA review, without requiring an off-street parking plan or considering that no exemption applies because expanding the transient accommodation rental use will have cumulative impacts and secondary effects on the surrounding neighborhood, requiring a SMA permit procedure in front of the Windward Planning Commission, among other reasons. I appealed the Director of Public Works' April 1, 2025, decision to issue (a) an owner/builder building permit for an active transient accommodation rental; and (b) a building permit before SMA use permit assessment application No. PL-SAA-2025-000280 was acted on by the Planning Director on April 11, 2025.
