G. YAMANAKA: If I can add, I think what spurred it was we had a few applicants looking for approval of use and the process to do it took so long and the answers we got back were vague and the reasoning behind it was that we had the Open zoning and we had reverted back to that. So, it had never really been an issue prior to that in our mind and so once that happened in talking with the ownership group, I said this is'something we really need to address. We did start this I want to say maybe a year or 2 years ago so it's been along process just to get here. REPLOGLE: Thank you. LIN: Thank you. -_ ROY: Raised hand. - - REPLOGLE: Alex? _ - ROY: I just want to add that when the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency (BDHRA)was active Garth came in front of the agency and presented tlfelhisjory. He gave a really cogent presentation on that and Banyan Drive that ageniey sent a letter of-support for this rezoning and I'm with Garth I think that was 2 plus years ago that we started thsp_rocess. So, he's been working this at least with myself_for the past couple years. REPLOGLE: Thank you. Anything further Commissioners?' .=_ ti CLARKS ON: Raisedhand REPLOGLE: Mr. Clarkson? 7-17 CLARKSON One hast question and this=is_also for the Planning Director. I assume that this is not the only lion conforming use n Open zoned areasthat have been grandfathered in over the decades and I also assumebut want to conform=with you that there's virtually no money for eminerif4 main condemnation and buying out of owners of non-conforming properties in order to make the property use conforming Is that the case that that is not a possibility that this be property could _ aturned into park or some other recreational facility that would conform to the existing Open zoning. KERN: Commissioner yes, this is not the only property in this type of situation. I do not have the data on the --6-#01-40 the other properties and you are also correct that to my knowledge there are no funding sources available at this time especially in the current economic situation that we are in to really even begin to entertain that at this time. I would say the only other focus would be more on the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission (PONC) which would be related to them acquiring like open spaces and there's a lot work for them to do there. I don't think this would fit into that criteria maybe at some point in the future Federal monies could be available I don't see it from a County budget standpoint happening for"—" I couldn't even begin to venture when. Does that answer your question? 11 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
