DR21-72 CHURCH-HILDAL – 2021 Petition for Declaratory Order

A Petition for Declaratory Order was filed on June 17, 2021 by Kenneth S. Church and Joan E. Hildal (“Petitioners”) requesting the Commission to review a State Land Use District boundary interpretation, the 1974 State Land Use District Boundary USGS quad map H-65, and for reimbursement of filing fees for a district boundary amendment, this petition for declaratory order, and associated court reporter fees.

The Commission heard the matter on September 8, 2021 via Zoom video conferencing technology.  The Commission denied Petitioner’s request for Declaratory Order at that time and issued a Decision and Order on March 15, 2022 to that effect.

Petitioner filed a Motion for Reconsideration on March 28, 2022.  The Commission scheduled a hearing to consider the matter on April 27, 2022 in Hilo, Hawaiʻi.  The April 27, 2022 hearing was cancelled to due technical defects in the hearing notice.   A hearing was held on May 19, 2022 in Hilo, Hawaiʻi at which the Commission denied Petitioners Motion for Reconsideration.
