variance after-the-fact - kalakoa - 10-15-2016
Classic.

Part of the facility -- a maintenance building -- was built 10 feet closer to the road than allowed by county zoning code. ... The configuration isn't an error, but part of the original plans
All the approved plans I've seen have rubber-stamped caveats all over them -- and some of these are specifically about front/side/rear setbacks.
It would seem that County projects don't need review/approval from the Building department? Maybe they figured it was no big deal to grant themselves a variance?
Of course, this is the same project with an "unknown amount" of pre-approved overtime... let's skip the ethics investigation and file some criminal charges already.

What a bunch of bull****. Oh wait, it's Hawaii so this is normal.

Did anyone else notice that the golf course remodeling suddenly became a priority right about the same time as construction started on the residential subdivision next door?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Who owns the subdivision? Interesting.

I know there's a zoning change request (sign is posted) but can't find the matching agenda item for Planning.
