There being no objections, the Committee recessed at 11:14 a.m., to convene
in the Environmental Services / Public Safety / Community Assistance
Committee meeting.
The meeting was called back to order at 11:59 a.m., and proceeded as follows:
Bill No. 2461 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 8,
KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE (Amendments to the Shoreline Setback
Ordinance) (This item was deferred to
March 19, 2014.)
Chair Bynum: Councilmember Yukimura, you have the floor.
Ms. Yukimura: As you know I have been working with a
group that I inherited from former Vice Chair Nakamura, working on amendments to
the Bill. I promised that I would have the amendments today but I am sorry I am
breaking my promise. The good news is that the group has been working very hard
and is very committed. In fact, when it became clear that we were not going to finish
in time to have the amendments for this Committee meeting we set aside a whole day,
February 27, 2014, instead of just our two (2) hour meetings of which we have had
many. We are going to spend a whole day to hopefully complete this process and have
amendments ready at the meeting of March 19, 2014. I am not making the motion
now because I would like to allow for any questions or comments but my intention is
to request deferral of this Bill to March 19, 2014.
Chair Bynum: Any questions or comments for
Councilmember Yukimura? I will just say that we are going to honor this request and
PL COMMITTEE MEETING 2 FEBRUARY 5, 2014
this is really a collaborative process. I have met with Mike Dahilig recently and so it
is really good to see all of the stakeholders working together on this process. So we
want to recognize former Councilmember Nakamura, the Planning Department and
also Councilmember Yukimura for their diligence on this effort.
Ms. Yukimura: Thank you and I want to say that the process
is working because we do have stakeholders from all sides around the table and the
conversations have not been easy but the result will be a strong and better Bill.
Upon motion duly made by Councilmember Yukimura, seconded by
Councilmember Kagawa, and unanimously carried, Bill No. 2461 was
deferred to March 19, 2014 Planning Committee meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:01 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Lori L. Marugame
