APPLICATION OF REGULATIONS (County of Kauai Planning Department,
Applicant) (ZA-2022-4),"

Committee Chair Chock: Thank you. Is there anyone registered to
testify? None. Is there anyone in the audience or on Zoom wanting to testify on
Bill No. 2868 regarding condominium property regimes (CPRs). Good morning,
Lonnie.
LONNIE SYKOS: Good morning, Councilmembers, and
members of the public. When I read through this Bill...is the current County policy
where a person could bring a mobile home to Kaua`i and use that as a residence?
Because within this Bill, it seems that the County is creating a new policy that will
allow trailer parks to exist. Section 2(g) says that house trailers premanufactured
homes, et cetera are now allowed. What is to prevent someone from bringing...I am
not sure what term to use, but a house trailer, doublewides, et cetera, and use it for
housing? I am not objecting to that; I am simply asking if that is a new policy. If it
is, what is the hurricane resistance required in the manufacturer. It is all
pre-engineered, you get told what the engineering specifications are. If we are going
to allow premanufactured buildings, what minimum Hurricane Code will we require?
It is not mentioned in this Bill, and simply allows them to be accorded. Thank you.
