reading with reservations i am assured by the chair of the committee that he will bring up the kitchen issue and so i'm confident that that will be done a little bit plans and when they see plans that indicate that this might be a wet bar they can say ok you get two and that's it or three and and if it looks bigger i mean from the definition there for it's bigger than what we have to find a weapon and then they're going to call it a kitchen and deny it so it helps them in their plan review they have a they've been able to up to this time say yes or no and then they have to fight and sometimes it even goes to border variance in appeals but now we have an order to says this is what a wet bar is this is what it's not you choose so it's helping them get plans out quicker and be able to deny

fifteen plan and we have a motion from mr couch for discharge in a second for mr carroll mr couch thank you mr chair this matter relates to the council's extension of the deadline to an active lanai community plan which is november twenty first two thousand and fifteen therefore  the second for mr carroll mr couch thank you mr chair and the reason we had to do the discharge is because this actually went into this item is in the planning committee as we speak so i had to add that extra step anyway the resolution extends until march fifteenth two thousand sixteen the deadline for the council to approve the lanai community plan exception of less than four months would allow planning committee time to complete a thorough review of the plan and required the required counsel public airing to be conducted we had some issues and we it is now i think is pretty much typed up and ready to be submitted to the community but i promised the community thirty days to look at it and discuss it a little bit before we brought it up again so that i'll take it past the november twenty first date so i urge everybody to support this resolution thank you any further discussion members mr

chair and i echo mr thomas frustrations on the process and i am assured that the department is working on language that we can come up with that will significantly improve the process so i haven't seen it yet but i keep hoping i thank you yes thank you very much i just want to add my comments you know ever since i chaired the general ten committee i have been on this rampage about needing a new process and i have met many times that depending director and i speak freely every chance i get we need to get a new process what we have is does it work it is functional takes too long sixty much money and it's not current and yet all of the decisions that we have to make here in terms of land use investments in infrastructure are based on this plan so i think we need to do a draconian change in the process but i will stay  you thank you mr bison any further discussion members right through true hansen road and saw it like to invite the public for the rededication and the reopening of
