WATANABE: Did that answer your question, Mr. Domingo? DOMINGO: Well, yeah, it seems like I have no recourse -. WATANABE: Well, Mr. Lim -. DOMINGO: And let the games begin. LIM: I guess on the applicant’s side, we’ve always been willing to negotiate for a lower density; you know, we’ve reserved our rights to the RS-15 zoning that we’ve had for years. And we would be willing to negotiate but not at the expense of having the change of zone moved up to the County Council. Once it does that, it puts us in jeopardy.I think that, and even the Director recognizes that nothing is happening on the property.So I don’t see what the rush on pushing it forward is. So we would be willing to negotiate and it’s, like I said, I would suggest that the best way to negotiate is when there is no pressure on either party, and that would be at this stage without moving it up. WATANABE: I have some suggestions, but again because of the Sunshine Law we are unable to discuss amongst ourselves towards any deliberation and so I have no idea what this body is going to vote on Agenda Item No. 4. And with that, now that the preliminaries have been, you know, put forth, maybe I can call on staff to do the presentation. And then with your consent, Mr. Lim, since we have only two testifiers from the public, possibly we could have the testifiers testify first, and then proceed into our deliberations. LIM: I have no objections. WATANABE: Thank you. DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a brief presentation, if I can direct your attention to the location map. The area of this application is within North Kohala. More specifically, we are looking at Akoni Pule Highway running in a north-south direction; it’s identified in a red line. We have Kohala Ranch Estates located directly across from the project location, which is identified with a black dot.The color on the map indicates the zoning. The light green zoning represents Agricultural 1-acre; the dark green represents Agricultural 20- acres, and we have, for the project location, we have RS-15. This is located directly in front of Waiakailio Bay. This is a continued hearing from our December 12, 2007, hearing; the Planning Commission voted to continue the three change of zone applications, rezoning applications, till thth this date, January 11, and that the two SMA applications be continued until March 20. These matters that we are looking at today are the Planning Director initiated change of zone from RS to RA-5 and the continued hearing on the repeal of Ordinance 97-102. Additionally, we’re addressing the application, amendment application for Kohala LLC which is they’re requesting an amendment to Condition C of Ordinance 97-102 which rezoned 37.88 acres from Ag 5-acre to RS-15.
