RRTServiceA1nendSPP1247 9/30/21 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION RT'S SERVICE, LLC AMENDMENT TO SPECIAL PERMIT NO. 1247 (SPP 1247) PL-SPP-2021-000001 Upon review of the request against the guidelines under Rule 6 of the Planning Commission Rules of Practice and Procedures for granting an amendment to Special Permits, the Planning Director recommends this amendment request be approved by the Planning Commission. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this recommendation based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. This recommendation is based on the following findings: Special Permit No. 1247 (SPP 1247)was issued in 2004 to allow office and storage uses for investigative/collection services, a towing service, and short-term parking for repossessed or disabled vehicles on an approximately 14,273-square foot portion of a 5.006-acre parcel in the State Land Use Agricultural District. The permit was amended in 2017 to expand the permit area from 14,273-square feet to 1.647 acres. The applicant has requested the following amendments to SPP 1247: 1) amend Condition number 3 so that the life of the permit runs with the current owner; 2) amend Condition number 6 to provide an additional two years to complete building permits; and 3) amend Condition number 7 to extend the hours of operation for the Inspection Station. The previous owner, David McCollough, Trust, has conveyed the legal title to the property to David McCollough, John Roth, Mark Farias and Dianna Farias. The change in ownership is documented by the Trustee's Limited Warranty Deed, dated February 7, 2020, recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii in Document No. A- 73450693. David McCollough continues to be a current owner of the subject property and is the sole managing member of RT's Service, LLC, the operator of the facility. As such, the applicant proposes to amend Condition No. 3 to reflect the change in ownership. In 2018, the applicant began the process of securing a building permit for the existing shop structure and the existing prefabricated office trailer. Unforeseen delays
