GENERAL BUSINESS MATTERS There were no general business matters COMMUNICATIONS There were no communications. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Tentative Subdivision Extension Request, S-2008-01, Stanley B. Narramore, 3-lot Subdivision, TMK: 2-6-014:032, K61oa, Kauai. Staff Planner Dale Cua: Thank you Mr. Chair. As noted in the staff report, this is the third extension request for this subdivision application. The proposal involves a 3-lot subdivision within the K61oa Estates subdivision. The previous extension request was granted to September 11, 2010. I think as noted in the report the applicant is still working with the requirements of the various reviewing agencies, in particular Public Works and with the Department of Water. They are making some progress with the subdivision, the department is recommending an extension to September 11, 2012 with the recommendation that the applicant submit an updated status report on the subdivision to justify further extension requests and that this status report is due no later than 60 days prior to the expiration date. So it would be July, 11, 2012. Chair: If we do grant this extension will it be possible for them to apply for final within that time period? Staff. Maybe the applicant's representative is here and maybe he can give you a little bit more insight on the progress. Chair: Any more questions for staff? Is the applicant here? Mr. Roger Caires: Good morning, Roger Caires representing the applicant. The big hang up has been with the Water Department and the drainage easement with Kukui`ula Development. The last 30 days both of those items have been resolved so it looks like we can move forward to finalizing the subdivision. I have here a copy of the letter, August 30, 2011, from Public Works regarding the double service water lateral connection and saying it is approved, the plans. A few days ago the agreement, easement agreement with Kukui`ula Land Company was signed so it really looks like we can end this project. Chair: Good. Any questions for the applicant, seeing none what does this Commission want to do? Ms. Matsumoto: Move to approve tentative subdivision extension request for 5-2008-01, Stanley B. Narramore, TMK: 2-6-014:032, K61oa, Kauai. Chair: Second, all in favor say aye, so moved. On motion made by Camilla Matsumoto and seconded by Jan Kimura, to grant tentative subdivision extension for 5-2008-01, motion carried unanimously by voice vote. NEW BUSINESS Tentative Subdivision Extension Request, 5-2011-03, William C. Rita, 2-lot Subdivision, TMK: 2-4-004:007, Kalaheo, Kauai. Staff. Thank you Mr. Chair. The extension request by the applicant is the first extension request of this subdivision application. The proposal involves a 2-lot subdivision on the mauka side of Kalaheo Town. The applicant has noted that they are still working to resolve the infrastructure requirements for the subdivision and therefore they are asking for an extension request. The request has been routed to the reviewing agencies and they had no objections. As a result we are recommending an extension to September 14, 2012. Subdivision Committee Minutes September 27,2011 2 Chair: Any questions for the planner? Ms. Matsumoto: I remember this application so when you say infrastructure, specifically what part? Staff. Primarily the water. Chair: Any more questions for the planner? Mr. Roger Caires: Roger Caires representing the applicant. The applicant's son, Darren, is here with me this morning because he has been the point man for the parents on this application. It looks like everything has been resolved. The Health Department, the requirement on the cesspool issue was signed off by the Health Department. And on the water meter the big problem for the applicants was the Water Board was asking for them to put in a new 6 inch line when they already had 2 meters on the property. So Darren has worked it out with Greg over at the Water Department and then Greg has not yet finalized his letter revising the conditions of the Water Board which will be according to Greg, they will go along with the subdivision provided there is only one residential dwelling on each lot because of the water requirements. So we are still waiting on the letter. Ms. Matsumoto: So when you say that the water did you say the water issue was resolved? Mr. Caires: It is just a matter of them producing the letter from the Water Board. Ms. Matsumoto: And then the cesspool... Mr. Caires: Is taken care of. Ms. Matsumoto: In number 4, the requirements of the Department of Health and the cesspool being near the public drinking facility. Mr. Caires: They sent us a letter already on that and they are going to go along with the cesspool. Chair: Any more questions for the applicant? Seeing none, what does this Commission want to do? Ms. Matsumoto: Move to approve tentative subdivision extension request for 5-2011-03, William C. Rita, TMK: 2-4-004:007, Kalaheo, Kauai. Chair: Second, all in favor say aye, so moved. On motion made by Camilla Matsumoto and seconded by Jan Kimura, to grant tentative subdivision extension for 5-2011-03, motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
