CARR SMITH: Unmute, Sid.
<br />FUKE: Am I unmuted?
<br />CARR SMITH: Go ahead. Oh, yes, you are.
<br />FUKE: - - -
<br />CARR SMITH: Unmute. Sid, you are muted. There you go. Go ahead.
<br />FUKE: I think Christian is playing - - - no. I wanted to come back to a couple of these questions,
<br />you know, about the five -acre school site, like that, I think that's a very germane issue. And I want
<br />to share with the Commission some of the background,, you "know, on that. When the property was
<br />originally rezoned back in 2005, there was a lot of peg.otiations ,backtand forth - - - the Council - - -
<br />time the Council has suggested, or encouraged, the applicant, "Would`you consider setting aside five
<br />acres of land for a public school?" - - - worked out In the - - - charter'sch ol. Meantime, that kind
<br />of like fizzled out and the charter school kind of moved on. But nevertheless,, the five -acre area was
<br />proposed to be set aside on - - - portion of the Suffolk, property and - - - area. Now, between the first
<br />and the second Planning Commissionmeeting, I did get, the chance to talk to the Planning Director
<br />and said like the applicant is willing to set aside this five -acre area and donate it`to the County for a
<br />park and, or whatever use that the County deems the appropriate, and in so doing it would help kind
<br />of like make a so-called more cohesive master"plan;,because -now would be embracing not only
<br />the Suffolk and Puaa property but also maybe a four=`or,five-acre _portion property on the makai side,
<br />and it would be a little bit:more,complete development. So-, the Director didn't accept that, you
<br />know, for different reasons, but I'd"like to kind of point outto Commissioner Yates and Members of
<br />this - - - that offer is still there. And so if the Commission wants to amend Condition U, or
<br />Condition V, you know;rel`ated to: the .school site, it- will basically read like, "Prior to issuance of a
<br />building permit= for -.any residential" or commercial structures on the site, the applicant has to
<br />subdivide"sand dedicate:or cause"the dedication'of five ""acres of land within the Suffolk property or
<br />the property immediately makai." _ � "So., that condition can be made, you know, as part of, you know,
<br />the Commissioners' recommendation; "or if you want the applicant to so represent, that can be a
<br />presentation made on the part of the applicants.
<br />CARR SMITH:
<br />NEWBERG: Madam Chair,, you need to unmute.
<br />CARR SMITH: Sorry about that. Go ahead, Mark.
<br />VAN PERNIS: Mr. Fuke, is the fair share going to be paid? Fair share per the original ordinance?
<br />FUKE: - - -
<br />VAN PERNIS: Did you hear the question?
<br />CARR SMITH: Repeat the question, Mark.
