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 is closed. 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. Now is there any discussion? Feel free, don't <br />hesitate if you have a question. <br />REPLOGLE: I sort of do. Is this leading eventually to breaking up ag land into—this is more <br />for the Director I guess—into smaller and smaller pieces? Not that everybody wants to farm 20 <br />acres, but next year, they'll be back asking for 2 -acre lots, and the next year 1 -acre lots. 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 I 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 />EXHIBIT B <br />4 <br />
