<br /> CHURCH: Oh, so that was the ag going on, okay.
<br /> KERN: And, if I could, I'll just briefly talk about the flooding issue that came up with the
<br /> roadway there. So what's happened is with this flooding situation, the flood is coming up from
<br /> mauka and it's traveling down and it's going to cross that road over. It will be addressed during
<br /> the subdivision process of it of how any improvement to that area would affect the flooding.
<br /> Now, the flooding is not derived from the property, derived from that road, then going over to
<br /> the neighboring property. So in this case, depending on what they put there, they can't,
<br /> obviously, can't increase the amount of water volume there, but as it's flowing over it, there
<br /> could be a gravel road, there could be a little swale there. They obviously can't stop it, divert it,
<br /> so they are going to have to do something that obviously works. But I think it's just important to
<br /> understand that the flooding isn't derived from the property, therefore the roadway is just
<br /> basically maintaining that the water, the current water, that's moving, can move over that
<br /> appropriately.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Well, I mean, obviously, a road can also change the flow of water considerably.
<br /> KERN: Absolutely, absolutely.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah.
<br /> KERN: And that's, that's, that's known, and the applicant is fully aware of that that is going to
<br /> need to be addressed and it cannot increase.
<br /> And then we talked about the 15-foot wider road set-aside that would go to the County in the
<br /> future for future widening of that.
<br /> The Water, the Department of Water Supply issue is that Department of Water Supply does
<br /> allow one lot to be served out of the pressure zone, and in this case both lots would fall into the
<br /> pressure zone and it would be on the applicant how they run their waterline up there. After the
<br /> meter the Department of Water Supply they don't really care; if you have a big leak, they higher
<br /> bill, you know what I mean, we've all dealt with it. So in this case even if we had the lot up
<br /> higher and the water, we were going to bring a waterline up there with the meter up top, the
<br /> Department of Water Supply would allow one to be out the low pressure zone. So either case
<br /> this will be in the pressure zone and then they'll have to deal with that, they'll have to deal with
<br /> on that side of it. And I'd also like to point out that, you know, water is a challenge in the county
<br /> in Change of Zones, for the concurrency law require water, and this property is one the few that
<br /> actually has water. There are a lot of people that would like to do something with their property,
<br /> split it, give one of the lots to their kids, and they can't do it because it doesn't have water. And
<br /> so it's a, that[inaudible] mitigates and regulates so much potential Change of Zones. And in
<br /> this case we have that. And we have a very challenged lot, that this would be a much better
<br /> configuration and we would fulfill,meet,basically the surrounding land uses, and as far as
<br /> zoning goes, it's compliant. So we humbly ask for your support.
<br /> UNGER: Great, thank you. Any other questions? You may be seated. Commissioners, the
<br /> floor is open for a motion.
