SIRACUSA: I’m just, I want this to, my confusion. All right? DARROW: At this time the area that we’re looking at is zoned Ag-1. The applicant is in the process of creating a subdivision to break those up into smaller lots. The applicant previously had represented that he was only going to be doing 22 lots maximum within this 41- acre area, and then also inclusive was going to be this pitch and putt. At this time they’ve deleted the plans to go ahead with the pitch and putt and they’re asking that they be allowed to at least create 25 lots within this 41-, 42-acre area. So even though, if this didn’t have a limit they could develop it up to 41 lots. But at this time there is going to be a limit of 25 lots for the area. SIRACUSA: Okay, now I understand. Thank you. WATANABE: Okay, are there any further questions? Yes, Mr. Woodward. WOODWARD: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to comment on Commissioner Siracusa’s question. I think it would be much simpler if we voted on these two issues separately because we’ve gotten tangled up in this sort of thing before where there are issues that are related but not necessarily the same. And I think it’s much clearer when it comes right down to it if we vote on the issues separately, that is the amendment to extend the time and then the amendment to increase the number of lots to 25. WATANABE: Okay. Well, are there any further comments on this, at this point, although we’re not quite in deliberation yet? Okay, you know, I do have one member of the audience who wishes to testify. So if I may I’d like to call up Ray Kawachi. So, Mr. Kawachi, would you have a seat please. Would you raise your right hand so I can swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? KAWACHI: Yes, I do. WATANABE: Thank you. Before you begin your testimony could you state your name and address for the record and then you may begin with your testimony. KAWACHI: My name is Ray Kawachi. I live at 600 Makalika, it’s within the 500 feet. I received this notice of the meeting. I’ll be brief. SIRACUSA: Please hold the mike closer to your mouth so we can hear you. KAWACHI: All right. I’ll be brief. The main concerns I have is quite common. The increase in the number of lots from 22 to25 doesn’t seem like much. And as I understand it this number of 22 is already approved pending final approval. Is that right? WATANABE: That is correct. My understanding it is, yeah; and it is, for your information, as Jeff pointed out, I guess a significantly lower amount than what the actual zoning would allow. EXHIBIT A 4
