AU: Second question. Ms. Lee, you mentioned flooding. Can you show me where it floods
<br />or?
<br />LEE: I'm just concerned that as they build and all of that that it's going to mess up our lot. I just
<br />don't want it to touch our lot. That's all. I mean, I prove or disprove. I don't know anything
<br />about flooding. I just don't want it to happen. Because I know that Ralph has a neighbor where
<br />they built behind him, and now like constantly, he still has water running out of his house,
<br />because of how they redirected the water. I don't want that happening.
<br />YEE: So, let me address—these are comments for both the audience and for the folks asking
<br />some of the direct questions. For drainage, which is often a concern of neighbors around new
<br />development, there is always a condition, and in this case, there is a condition around drainage
<br />and that DPW signs off A lot of times people want to know the details at this point. There are
<br />no details. That comes later after they get approval and then they have to submit their drainage
<br />plan, and DPW signs off on that. I encourage you if you are really concerned, you stay in tune
<br />with that with DPW.
<br />This is a Change of Zone, so we do not get into are you building a specific house this way or are
<br />you renting. That's not what we decide. We decide on what zone change, and with whatever is
<br />allowed within that zone, they will be allowed to do. So, I can't drill down into well, is it going
<br />to be rental or not. That's not the purview of what we can control from here. Just to let you
<br />know about that.
<br />And, then, I think that was it for my general comments. Oh, Kikaha, the—it's come up with
<br />several folks around the extension and Kikaha. As Alex had said, it goes into a different
<br />[inaudible] right now, so it's not being addressed. From a higher level Planning standpoint, and
<br />I need the community to understand this, and you may totally disagree, but we really look for
<br />connectivity, and whether or not it occurred in certain neighborhoods before, you know, certainly
<br />as we move forward, I do not want to repeat past mistakes. The greater connectivity is, is better
<br />for the entire community, okay? So, people who want to create giant cul-de-sacs `cause they
<br />don't want people driving through is not generally a good urban planning, you know, tool We
<br />want roads connected. We want to give people alternatives to move around. And, so, when we
<br />have right-of-ways and stuff and future plans for Abe Street, Kikaha, that could occur. At the
<br />time there's a proposal is the time that you come forward again and provide comments. But, you
<br />need to know that from a County standpoint, from a Planning standpoint, we tend to support
<br />connectivity, okay? And, so, unless it's truly a part if somebody owns a property, we're going
<br />to be looking for connectivity. So, just a general planning
<br />SERAIN: —Can I ask you a question, please?
<br />YEE: Microphone, please.
<br />SERAIN: Yeah, you indicated that, you know, connectivity. You know, it's always a possibility
<br />of connectivity. But, when you go through this process of connectivity, you're taking into
<br />consideration in terms of what the County is going to do for the community to ensure that there
<br />is an addressing their health and safety, because you are already bringing not only the people
