Kawakami Honorable Bill "Kaipo" Asing, Ex-Officio Member Honorable Dickie Chang, Ex-Officio Member Minutes of the January 13, 2010 Planning Committee Meeting. Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Bynum, and seconded by Councilmember Kawakami, and unanimously carried, the Minutes of the January 13, 2010 Planning Committee Meeting was approved. The Committee proceeded on its agenda items, as shown in the following Committee reports which are incorporated herein by reference. Bill No. 2298 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 8, KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE AND SINGLE-FAMILY TRANSIENT VACATION RENTALS [This item was deferred.] JAY FURFARO (COMMITTEE CHAIR): As mentioned earlier as a courtesy, we do have a request from the County Attorneys also to defer this item. Before I ask for a deferral, is there anyone in the audience who would like to speak? There's no one in the audience. I am looking for that deferral. DEREK S. K. KAWAKAMI (COMMITTEE MEMBER): Move to defer. DARYL W. KANESHIRO (COMMITTEE MEMBER): Second the motion. Mr. Furfaro: All those in favor please say "aye." Committee Members: Aye. Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Kawakami, and seconded by Councilmember Kaneshiro, and unanimously carried, Bill No. 2298 was • • deferred. Mr. Furfaro: Thank you. Now we'll go to Bill No. twenty- three, thirty-nine (2339). Bill No. 2339 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 8 OF CHAPTER 8 OF THE KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THE OPEN DISTRICT [This item was deferred.] Mr. Furfaro: There has been some thought on perhaps scheduling a workshop on this bill as well. Reason being we also have a bill twenty, zero, twenty-two (2022) which has been dormant and I would like to see about anyone requesting to bring that out for discussion and a workshop along with this bill. Is there anyone that would like to comment on that possibility or not having a workshop on it? TIM BYNUM (COMMITTEE MEMBER): Yeah regarding this bill, I would hope we would have a amendment today to clarify those subdivisions having tentative approval, me included. Apparently that's not ready and I concur with you that the other bill is worth reexamining. I don't know that they're that interrelated anymore, so but I would really welcome a workshop on the other bill or at the judgment of our Planning Chair, but you know for myself with that one (1) amendment I'm ready to move on this bill, but on the other bill, a workshop would be great. Mr. Furfaro: Okay. That bill was deferred pending a workshop. Mr. Bynum: Yes it was. Mr. Furfaro: But (inaudible) come to that conclusion yet but a great portion of this open section actually came out of that portions of that bill. Although that bill covers Ag areas as well. So I will not pursue that subject right at the moment but on twenty-three, thirty-nine (2339), we did have some questions that were sent over to the County Attorney as well. Mr. Bynum: And I... Mr. Furfaro: And we have not gotten back answers. Mr. Bynum: Yeah I was hopeful that we would have that 2 w today but apparently not. Mr. Furfaro: on this? Mr. Bynum: Well without it, may I have a deferral then Move to defer. Mr. Furfaro: Do I have a seconded? ,. LANI KAWAHARA (COMMITTEE MEMBER): Seconded. Mr. Furfaro: Thank you. Any further discussion? All those in favor... oh no discussion I'm sorry it's been a long day Mr. Kaneshiro, and it's not even lunch yet. All those in favor of the deferral please say "aye." Committee Members: Aye. Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Bynum, and seconded by Councilmember Kawahara, and unanimously carried, Bill No. 2339 was deferred. Bill No. 2342 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS, PROCEDURES, ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THE LIHU`E TOWN CORE AREA AND ESTABLISHING EXCEPTIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO CHAPTER 8 AND CHAPTER 10 OF THE KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987 [This item was deferred.] Mr. Furfaro: This bill does have a scheduled workshop for February 16 at 9:00, I have to look to the Clerk's Office on a question here, is that notice going to be posted today for this workshop? Yes? Okay and so that notice will be posted and I would like to ask that we consider deferring this until February 24~ I believe is the next Committee Meeting, until such time that we've completed the workshop. Do I have the right date there Mr. Watanabe? Yes, I do, okay. Mr. Bynum: So moved. Ms. Kawahara: Seconded. Mr. Furfaro: Thank you very much. This will be deferred date specific to February 24. I had a question there because we are moving in that 3 r. week, is that? Oh okay tentative then. Okay, okay. All those in favor of the deferral please? Committee Members: Aye. Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Bynum, and seconded by Councilmember Kawahara, and unanimously carried, Bill No. 2342 was deferred. Mr. Furfaro: That will end the scheduled activity in the Planning Committee for today, thank you so much. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~r~nn.~(~cl~~rnccr~ Darrellyne M.
