SIRACUSA:Yeah, I have a, well, a question to direct to Mr. Darrow. The other light <br />green spots that we€re looking at on the map there, those all appear from here, I€m without my <br />glasses, to have their ingress and egress routes right on Mamalahoa Highway. And this would <br />be, if we grant this, it would be the first subdivision, basically, that does not access onto that <br />road? Is that -? <br />DARROW:We have, you have several subdivisions identified in light green that are <br />accessing directly. <br />SIRACUSA:Yes, and they all access -. <br />DARROW:Yeah, they€ll have a main road into the subdivision and then the lots are <br />accessed -. <br />SIRACUSA:And the Lakeland one? <br />DARROW:The Lakeland actually is, you would enter from Mamalahoa Highway onto <br />OldMamalahoaHighway,andthenaccessthesubdivisionthroughOldMamalahoaHighway, <br />which the same thing will happen with half of the lots if the configuration remains the same for <br />the Raymond Subdivision. It appears that the other half will gain access from Vierra Road. But <br />it€s my understanding as well, and maybe the applicant can verify that, that other people access <br />their properties from Vierra Road as well. <br />SIRACUSA:I€m just wondering if we should consider this spot development. Do you <br />want to address that, Jeff, or does the Director? <br />ALAMEDA:Director Yuen? <br />YUEN:There€s this phrase that€s called spot zoning that unfortunately it€s one of <br />these phrases that suggests more than it really tells you. You€ll see spot zoning condemned in <br />planning texts. But spot zoning is singling out a piece of property for special treatment not in <br />accordance with a comprehensive plan. So we look at, that€s why when we look at a <br />recommendation we tie it in to the General Plan. So, but just taking one piece of ground and <br />rezoning it is not necessarily spot zoning. And that€s why the term is not that good a term, <br />because it suggests to people that you€re not supposed to do that. What you€re not supposed to <br />do is take a piece of property and either violate your comprehensive plan or not have a <br />comprehensive plan and rezone that spot. But it doesn€t mean that you can€t just take one piece <br />of property and rezone it. <br />SIRACUSA:Thank you for clarifying that. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. I€m feeling like maybe we might be ready for a, to entertain <br />testimony. Do you have anything else to add, Mr. Raymond? <br />RAYMOND:At this time, Mr. Chairman, no. <br />12EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
