VITOUSEK: I agree with you, Commissioner Van Pernis, absolutely, that this is a discussion that needs to take place above the planning commission level on a specific project. That being said, I feel like it's our duty to initiate that discussion, and since we have no power to do anything about it, we can make recommendations for amendments to condition L. My proposed recommendation.would be that County Council will consider whether fair share contributions apply based on noncommercial subdivision of less than four lots for family purposes, and then we continue on that if it's determined that fair share applications apply, it would continue with the rest of it and it would be the same language. Yes, Commissioner Van Pernis. VAN PERNIS: What family purposes? How do you control the waiver of, or lessening of, financial contributions like this when in the future if lots are sold?'What if they are sold immediately after subdivision at market rate, or if they are sold years later? I think it's very dangerous to consider this matter without extended discussion and legal input,particularly in regards to what family purposes. VITOUSEK: Commissioner Kealoha. KEALOHA: Yeah, I would say if we are going to make that recommendation;some stipulation be added that the, you know, similar to home exemption,and so forth, if the property is sold within a certain time period, then the back fees would be owed. Because everybody is going to make the claim that they are doing it for family purposes,but there is nothing to preclude them from sale otherwise, so the county would have to have some means of recouping the expected expenses if it turned out to be a flip so to speak. VITOUSEK: I agree with that. MR. YOUNG: Yes, yeah, that makes sense. VITOUSEK: Commissioner Carr Smith. CARR SMITH: I'm not Ya, I don't think"commercial" is the right word that should be used in there. Commercial would— VITOUSEK: What do you— CARR SMITH: —mean many other things. What I had jotted down—so this is just another idea—so if condition L could be amended to say that—the last sentence before the breakdown on the numbers—"The fair share contribution shall be as County Council deems reasonable in this situation, which may be less than recommended." It's just general and it's, they will listen to our minutes, and it's just trying to get their conversation going without us really being getting too specific about— VITOUSEK: Yeah, I mean, it would be, could be, "could be less when considering the merits of individual application." Would that, would that suffice? CARR SMITH: Yeah. 16 DRAFT
