CLARKSON: At this time, we'll take public testimony, if any. There is no one who wishes to <br /> testify on this matter apparently. At this time, I'd like to receive a motion that public testimony <br /> be closed. <br /> RAFFIPIY: So moved. <br /> AGUINALDO: I second. <br /> CLARKSON: All those in favor? <br /> COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br /> CLARKSON: Opposed? Motion carried. Public testimony isyclosed. Is there any further <br /> discussion on this? <br /> HALL: Motion first. <br /> CLARKSON: Hm? <br /> HALL: Motion first, then discussion. <br /> CLARKSON: Oh, motion first, then discussion. Is there a motion for action? <br /> RAFFIPIY: I'll make a motion,Mr. Chairman. I move that a favorable recommendation be <br /> forwarded to the County Council on the application for Change of Zone Docket No. 19-000234 <br /> based on the Planning Director's recommendations which shall be adopted. <br /> AGUINALDO: I second. = _ <br /> CLARKSON: It's been moved and seconded.

And, <br /> Laupahoehoe will be covered with people instead of food. <br /> YEE: That's certainly not our intent that, to go there. So, first of all, we, we're very cognizant <br /> around the density issues; hence why we put the condition on not adding additional farm <br /> dwelling units. So, it's not the situation where they, they're trying to create more density, more <br /> lots that they want to sell. It clearly was for estate planning for this owner. When it comes to <br /> issues around our approach to agricultural lands on the island, it's a much larger conversation <br /> then,l could probably have here right now at this moment. <br /> But know that we're very sensitive over the uses and how we approach agricultural lands on this <br /> island, and it is a big question. We are'very attuned to important ag lands and often you see in <br /> 4 <br />
