Well,
with no comment being received, I guess
it's
up
to the Committee

to wait
for comments and to get that on record.

Otherwise, if they're apprised of the conditions and had no objections and they were apprised of
the meeting today, you know, they could've come and voiced any objections on the record. So
it's sort of up to your ... up to you folks.
Mr. Keawe:
So
what you're
saying is
they
were given
an opportunity to
comment, they
commented
via
email, but
did not come in,
so they did
snake comments;
however...
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: They have not, right?
Mr. Keawe: They have not?
Mr. Cua: They were provided opportunity to provide feedback on the requirements of the
Subdivision Application,
Mr. Keawe: Okay. So ... now, did they send any confinnation that said we don't have any
comments?
Ms. Higuchi Sayegusa: A receipt?
Mr. Keawe: Or they just received the email?

Commission meeting as well.
Chair Mahoney: Okay. Well... On agency comments, they're still outstanding?
0

from all agencies.
Chair Mahoney: Okay. Is the Department satisfied with the...?

that Kukui`ula has designed that does have a trail connection from one of the roadway lots, and
we do have a Concept Trail Plan that we constantly update with each iteration of subdivisions,

Can we hear from our planner, please?
Mr. Cua: Chair, before we get to these applications, I just wanted to note that the next two (2)
applications that's being considered for the extension request, they both involve the same
project. The first one is Phase 2 of the project, and the subsequent application is Phase 3 of the
project. So technically...
Chair Mahoney: We don't need...
Mr. Cua: They both can be considered at the same time because they're one in the same project.
Chair Mahoney: In other words, approval of this can carry this one?
Mr. Cua: I mean, as far as action - wise...
Chair Mahoney: We don't need any action on it?
Mr. Cua: You can take each action separately, but just in the evaluation of both applications,
they can be taken together.
13
Chair Mahoney: Okay. So ... maybe we could get the applicant's representative come forward,
or no?
Mr. Cua: Oh no. Chance can kind of explain the extension request.
Chair Mahoney: Okay.
Mr. Cua: And...
Chair Mahoney: For these two (2) here?
Mr. Cua: Yes, for those two (2). Yes.
Chair Mahoney: Okay. We'll go with that, then.
Mr. Cua: Okay,
Chair Mahoney: Thank you.
Mr. Bukoski: Findings and Background. The proposed subdivision establishes fourteen (14)
lots in the Agriculture and Open Districts and two (2) roadway lots identified as Roadway Lots
`A' and `B'. This application was granted final subdivision map approval by the Planning
Commission on February 8, 2011. This is the applicant's 2 "d request to complete the
construction of the infrastructure improvements. The previous extension was approved and
granted to...on October 31, 2014. The subject property is situated on the western side of
Kalaheo Town and along the mauka side of Kaumuali`i Highway, directly abutting Olopua
Gardens along its eastern boundary. The project site is directly located across the Brydeswood
Subdivision and its primary vehicular access is situated at the Kauimuali`i Highway /Halewili
Road intersection. This project is being developed in the conjunction with the Brydeswood
Agriculture Subdivision, Phase 3 that is being processed as Subdivision Application No. S -2006-
04.
Evaluation and the Progress of the Subdivision. As previously noted, due to the complexity and
size of the project, the applicant is requesting additional time to complete the infrastructure
improvements. In considering the extension request, it should be noted that the development will
require extensive infrastructure improvements, both on- and off -site, and that the applicant has
shown little progress since receiving the final subdivision approval. At this point, it is uncertain
as to when these requirements will be completed. Based on the foregoing circumstances, the
department does not support the applicant's actions. However, given the unforeseen
circumstances related to the real estate market, the extension request could be considered.
Therefore, in order to ensure good faith and progress with the development, the applicant should
have two (2) years to complete the infrastructure improvements for the subdivision.
Furthermore, within one (1) year after the approval of the extension request, the applicant should
submit, to the Department, an updated status report relating to the progress and at least 50% of
the improvements should be completed. At the end of the 2 -year period, the progress of the
project may be reevaluated based on the substantial completion of the improvements. The status
f[1
report shall be submitted to the Planning Department no later than sixty (60) days prior to the
expiration date. In further consideration of the request, it is noted that the applicant should have
the construction plans recertified to assure that the construction standards identified in the plans
are current, and also to submit an updated construction cost estimate to the reviewing agencies,
such as Public Works and Department of Water, for their review and approval. The bond for the
improvements should be adjusted accordingly to the updated construction cost.
Chair Mahoney: Thank you. Questions for the planner?
Mr. Keawe: No. Applicant,
Chair Mahoney: Applicant? Could a representative for the applicant come forward, please?
Anyone? Could you state your name, again, for the record, please?
Mr. Kodani: For the record, Clyde Kodani.
Chair Mahoney: Questions for the applicant?
Mr. Keawe: Clyde, can you tell me a little bit about the applicant's sales and marketing
program? And what has contributed to the delay?
Mr. Kodani: No, I can't. (Laughter in background) I'm the engineer only. The real estate side
is really left up to the client.
Mr. Keawe: Yeah, you're doing the technical side.
Mr. Kodani: Yes.
Mr.
Keawe: Okay.
Well, the
whole crux
of the extension is they haven't been able to move the
lots,
so ... okay. Do
you have
any idea or
any comments?
Mr. Kodani: No. I just have one (1) question though. Did these two (2) subdivisions get final
subdivision approval? My understanding (is) it was.
Mr. Cua: Yes,
Mr. Kodani: It did?
Mr. Cua: It did.
Mr. Keawe: So these are extensions of time.. .
Chair Mahoney: Request.
Mr. Kodani: For?
15
Mr. Cua:
To
complete the
subdivision improvements. Essentially, it's an extension of time to
complete
the
infrastructure
related to the subdivision.
Mr. Kodani: Okay. But the subdivision did get final?
Mr. Cua: Yes, it did.
Mr. Kodani: Okay,
Mr. Cua: Yes,
Mr. Kodani: Okay.
Chair Mahoney: So the conditions that were imposed about the timeframe and etc., could you
comment on those or...?
Mr. Kodani: Not really because I'm not the developer. I could go ahead and confer with the
developer on it. I can say this much that the construction plans are in the process of getting
recertified as we speak.
Chair Mahoney: Okay,
Mr. Cua: Basically, the recommendation is to complete the improvements within the 2 -year time
period up to October 31, 2018. Within a year, the applicant would have to provide an updated
status report on the progress of the improvements.
Mr. Kodani: Okay. With that, we have no objections.
Chair Mahoney: No objections. Okay. Well, the conditions are the conditions, so if, you
know ... that have been imposed and the decision maker should be aware of, you know, that's
what they are right now, so...
Mr. Kodani: Yes,
Chair Mahoney: Okay,
Mr. Kodani: And I'll convey that to the client. Thank you.
Chair Mahoney: Alright.
Mr. Keawe: One comment. But the new, ..With this extension, there is a condition with regard
to 50% of the improvements need to be done within a year, so I don't know if he knows that or
not, on. .
Chair Mahoney: As the engineer, do you think that they'll be able to comply with the conditions
within a year? The 50% completion?
16
Mr. Kodani: I will have to confer with the client ... with the developer on that.
Chair Mahoney: Well, we can entertain a motion with existing conditions if that's the.. .
Mr. Cua: And also, if the applicant has challenges or reservations regarding the conditions, they
could make a request to amend the conditions as well.
Mr. Kodani: Right. Yes.
Chair Mahoney: Okay.
Mr. Keawe: Chance, have you talked to the applicant about these items?
Mr. Bukoski: I've contacted them; however, I have not received any information back.
Mr. Cua: I actually contacted their representative.
Mr. Keawe: Oh, okay.
Mr. Cua: And yeah, I kind of gave them a preview to the Department's concerns regarding the
status of the completion of these improvements.
Mr. Keawe: Okay. So this won't be a surprise?
Mr. Cua: No, actually no. So it's actually a way to nudge them to move the rest of the project.
Mr. Keawe: Yeah, with the 50 %, you know, get this done before ... yeah,
Mr. Cua: Yes.
Mr. Keawe: Okay.
Chair Mahoney: Okay. Chair will entertain a motion.
Mr. Keawe: So do we do both of them? One after another?
Mr. Cua: Yes. You can actually do that because... since both applications...
Mr. Keawe: Alright. Because they're interconnected (inaudible).
Mr. Cua: Right,
Mr. Keawe: Alright,
Chair Mahoney: (Inaudible) or one at a time?
