RE: Administrative Interpretation of July 25, 1980 Decision by the
Hearing Examiner Committee Findings & Order Signed July 28, 1980
Regarding "Change -of -Condition" Request for 55 -foot Setback
from Kahuna Drive Centerline Instead of 25 -foot Setback of the
Temporary Cul -de -Sac at Preliminary Plat Lots 4 & 18 Block 1
(Final Plat Lot 1 Block 1 and Lot 8 Block 2 of Kahuna Hills
1st Addition).
In reviewing the above file (the July 2, 1980 Application Request by Joe
Ward, the July 25, 1980 Staff Analysis, and the July 25, 1980 Hearing
Examiner Committee Findings & Order) and reviewing tape recording of the
July 25, 1980 public hearing, I find the following:
a. The sponsor in a change -of -condition had requested to allow
Kahuna Hills lst Addition to be finalized in two phases. This
was approved pursuant said Hearing Examiner Committee Findings
& Order. Phasing this development would require a temporary
cul-de-sac involving Preliminary Plat Lots 4 & 18 of Block 1.
b. The sponsor also requested a condition to allow dwellings on
Lots 4 & 18 of Block 1 to be setback 55 ft. from the centerline
of Kahuna Drive instead of a normal 25 ft. setback from the
temporary cul-de-sac. The reason for this request was that the
temporary cul-de-sac would be removed when the second phase
(east half) was finalized; therefore, allowing all dwellings
to have consistent setbacks from Kahuna Drive.

c. John Culler in making the motion for approval referenced the
July 25, 1980 Staff Analysis and its recommended conditions of
approval. The Hearing Examiner Committee continued to discuss
various other requests for change -of -condition (none of which
included the 55 -foot setback request); therefore, John Culler's
motion included the approval as referenced in said Staff Analysis
for this 55 -foot setback.
d. Due to the lengthy and confusing discussion of the other items
being requested by the sponsor, the Planning Department staff
added Condition #20 of the July 25, 1980 Findings & Order for
purposes of clarifying only those items discussed (Note: The
55 -foot setback request was not discussed after the motion).
e. For purposes of clarification regarding the "temporary" cul-de-sac,
Joe Ward,by notarized -letter of November 14, 1983, has agreed to
install the curb through the temporary cul-de-sac at the time of
finalizing the second phase (east half) of this development.
As the previous Subdivision Administrator and as the staff member preparing
the draft Findings & Order for the Hearing Examiner Committee, it is my
administrative interpretation that the July 25, 1980 Hearing Examiner Committee
DECISION did approve the 55 -foot setback request.
