in program director department of water supply any organization europe is because of county communication fifteen to sixty three for the planning director transmitting the following a proposed bill entitle a bill for an ordinance to amend them a look at a community plan and then use map from international firm in honolulu and we design the molokai science classroom and i just want to say for a start that i can design a lot of complex buildings but when he got to the planning issues i turned to my planners and he couldn't be with us today so i had to learn fast about how to talk to planet planners language and and all of the acronym so please excuse me but anyway this is just surrendering and i'll just go of the science classroom building from across the street but it is located and i use a laser pointer it is located right here right and this is fair and ten and so it is right at the front of the school and it was meant it was put there because of various reasons important reason was that this is a close up of it it's a classroom building with a proper spot for forty three hundred square feet and the whole idea of put in the front we actually looked at three sites on the campus and they were spread through the back of the campus you know or for a number number one two three and four and all the ones that were in the campus were in a tight situation and we felt that number three although it was very close to the parent and provided a very excellent place to showcase the science building  being at the front of the school it was a front door and scientists so important if for the community t they've won so many awards and we wanted to showcase that and also had a direct support of the project and all the permits as you can see we had placed the building right at the front of the campus right in this location and it crossed a line of boundary line crossed it and that really  was not good in a sense by the way it it opened up a lot of issues in the plan in department on maui said now's the time to clean up not only that issue but the rest of the site so that was a good thing that happened and with that there action we came up with these permits that we wanted to secure the c p a community plan amendment the state land use district boundary amendment and the change in zone and in all the land is zone into you know that is outside the agriculture district and you have this ag ag area and you can see it split the building so we wanted to make all of that you know  public public and that was the change in zoning requests and basically that's all the planning issues but i just wanted to with this saying that the planning committee commission voted unanimously and like i mentioned before and then the school is so committed to science technology engineering and math and this this building really supports that and they've won so many awards and they're really want showcase science and this is the best location for it at the front of the school and i just got a article from someone who sent it to me that in two thousand and fifteen this year they are two people are planning to go to pittsburgh intel international science and technology fair science fair in pittsburgh and two of them are from high school so they're really an outstanding school  moneys just for the students to travel and competition because that's always a challenge for for all of us through d m e t v and the support of our council members here we're able to send our students to participate in in the national competition with stem the different science as well as health competition you know mr victor i were just having a discussion during lunch on how when we were going to make do with what we have and we didn't have much likewise with our school we make but we shouldn't have to continue to go your recommendation please have where we're very much in support of rezoning we've had some discussions i assume your staff is going to go over some of the proposed changes  but we're entirely in support of getting a sound and getting that science building well thank you or does anybody have anything further they would like to discuss before you my recommendation ok thank you very much chair i think that it's pretty evident that what we have before us is a matter that has been sorely belit i've had the opportunity to read the documents in the play under the planning commission and everybody else as far as i'm concerned has done a very thorough job of looking at this and i'm very comfortable in moving it forward anything like this that is so needed for our youth and for education and the fact that you know do you hear is asking come on let's get this done i am in full support of so i just wanted to express my position thank you been there i've had the people and teachers and and students asking for this for quite a long time someone has called back to almost a time when i was on the board of education and the things that were brought up to our attention so it's been many years you know working so i can fully support this and whatever we can do to expedite it let's do it thank you public public the change from interim to is for sixteen point six five four acres rather than eighteen point zero zero nine so that was reduced slightly and we've also revised the bill to admit the change in zoning from interim to public cause a public for the eleven point eight acre parcel that's across farrington avenue where the athletic fields are and it  may be a good idea to get planning to state on their record the reason for that reduction in  one's a lot easier find consistency with and public with a public and the park designation but all the same i think it would be better if the planning department initiate a community plan amendment to change those to public quasi public and a change in zoning to public was a public and then it's all nice and clean and we don't have to wonder ok is it really consistent is it not consistent we don't have to wonder about those things so the funding department will take it upon itself to initiate those changes and get those through the planning commission for the for the purposes today  actions as before this committee change the existing school and this new site where the the science building will be on we are just absolutely perfectly comfortable and supportive of that th
