connect to Meyer Road, which would be this particular road. These are private roadways which the applicant has access to. The entire area indicated in this dark green is zoned Agricultural 20-acres. The applicant is requesting that this particular area consisting of 171 acres be reclassified to an Agricultural Project District. And the reason for that is that, basically, they would like to seek some deviation from some of the Code requirements relative to water and roadway. According to the applicantÓs proposal, they would like to subdivide the property into lot sizes consisting of 5 to 12 acres. Their proposal is to construct 25 lots, or develop 25 lots. The Department recently submitted to you the staffÓs background report and recommendation, and our recommendation that was handed out to you was to defer the application since we did not receive any comments from the Department of Land and Natural Resources as to the acceptance of an archaeological survey. Since that time, we received a letter from the Department of Land and Natural Resources indicating that they have reviewed the property and it would receive approval at this time; however, that before giving final approval, they would need to submit an archaeological inventory survey. That letter was passed out to all of you this morning. With that, in light, we are recommending approval of this particular rezoning request. And if you will note, proposed Condition J does state that an archaeological inventory shall be submitted prior to, for acceptance by the Department of Land and Historic Preservation District, as they had requested and commented in their letter. Although the applicant is requesting that the rezoning is to create 25 lots, we are, as noted in our proposed Condition F, restricting or recommending that the number of lots be restricted to 17; and the minimum lot size would be 5 acres. We are also proposing, and you donÓt have copies of this, that Condition D be amended by adding the following, and this was with regard to the water situation, and IÓll add to the existing language of the Condition D, ÐThe applicant shall construct a private water system which provides water to each lot. The water system may have a single source, and does not have to be constructed to County dedicable Department of Water Supply standards, but the project engineer shall certify that the components will be functionally equivalent to Department of Water Supply standards.Ñ We have shown this proposed amendment to the applicant, and the applicant is agreeable to that particular condition. With that, we are recommending approval with the conditions, as amended. Are there any questions? FUJIKAWA:Any questions, Commissioners, to the staff? SPRINGER: Mr. Chair?
