Chair Mahoney: New Business for Action. Item 1. Subdivision Extension Request,
Mr. Cua: Okay. The first item for action is a subdivision extension request for Subdivision
Application No. 5- 2011 -16. Applicant is Cameron K. Burgess, et. al. It's a proposed 4 -lot
subdivision. Tax Map Key 4 -1 -008 parcel 13. It's in Wailua, Kauai.
Attached to your subdivision agenda is the Department's Staff Report regarding the proposed
extension request. After reviewing the Applicant's material, the Applicant is still trying to
resolve requirements with the reviewing agencies. They have resolved the Housing requirements
related to the subdivision. As a result, the Department is recommending a time extension to
February 22, 2017,
Chair Mahoney: Okay, thank you. Is there anybody here to represent the Applicant? Seeing
none.
Any of the Commissioners, do you understand what the Planner has said? Any questions or
concerns?
Is there a motion on the floor? The Chair will entertain a motion.
Ms. Mendonca: Your recommendation is to February 22, 2017?
Mr. Cua: Correct,
Ms. Mendonca: We are already close to 2016. Based on his current status, do you think that two
(2) years is more than sufficient?
Mr. Cua: Yes, it should be. I think the requirement relating to the Housing Agency is what
caused some of the delays relating to the subdivision. At this time, they are almost done with the
infrastructure requirements relating to the subdivision.
Ms. Mendonca: Okay, because...

Mr. Cua: At first I thought about extending it to 2016, but since it's only several months away, I
think it would be more appropriate if we extend it to 2017.

coming that
close and we're giving him
two

more years. Could
it ... just on the safe side,
so he doesn't
come back again, we give
it to
2018?
Mr. Cua: I think sixteen (16) months is sufficient.
Ms. Mendonca: It's sufficient? Okay.
