From: Robert Duerr <br /> To: WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: Stop Amendment to Chapter 25 <br /> Date: Monday,March 31,2025 5:59:29 PM <br /> email to: WPCtestimon�a hawaiicountygov <br /> Re: PLANNING DIRECTOR INITIATED (PL-PDI-2025-000014) AMENDMENT <br /> TO CHAPTER 25, Agenda Item 94. <br /> Dear Chair Danielle and Commissioners- <br /> Please stop the amendments as written to Chapter 25. The draft amendments are <br /> hard to read and review because there is no context. Looks like the draft is <br /> incomplete and not ready for review. Attempting to look up changes I tried <br /> understand what the amendment was changing. I stopped trying. <br /> But I ask these questions: <br /> If there is a compelling reason to require a use permit for Meeting Facilities in the <br /> agricultural zones, why is there not the same compelling reason to require a use <br /> permit in the residential zone? <br /> I live in the residential zone that has events and think a use permit should be <br /> required in every zone for the same reasons. Notice, due process and equal <br /> protection of the law. This draft is wrong. <br /> Adding an exemption for gatherings of 25 attendees twice a week for each building <br /> site in the residential zones is unfair to the neighbors. The conditions of the roads <br /> in each case matters. For instance, where one neighborhood may have a road with <br /> an adequately wide shoulder for parking, another neighborhood might have no <br /> available parking nearby. <br /> There is very little available "temporary parking" on my road in the Honolii <br /> development. Cars would be parking on Highway 19. We have a cup-de-sac that <br /> has people constantly parking in it and disrupting the ability to turn. Including <br /> emergency vehicles. <br /> Adding the definition of "Event" without requiring a conditional use permit is <br /> wrong. <br /> Thank you for considering my review and objections. <br /> Robert Duerr <br />
