selectively send them subdivisions that we think may involve Hawaiian rights, typically coastal <br />undisturbed areas. Not, say, mountain view, sugar cane, former sugar cane land and mountain <br />view, we dont send it to them, or pasture land in Waiakea Uka. I cant say that we always hit <br />them but we have, I think youll see that the major coastal subdivisions are going through the <br />review process. So we do that. If the subdivision has an SMA trigger, it happens on the SMA <br />level. Very often there has been a zoning trigger previously for the subdivision, so that kind of <br />review has already happened. <br /> <br />As far as having a generic PASH, Ka Pa€akaitype requirement, again, I think of that as a <br />separate issue. Thats an issue that we should take up as a stand-alone action. Im not that <br />convinced that what we do -. We started implementing those requirements on County zoning <br />actions. They were not done before the current administration. If you go back and look at <br />rezonings from the time of the PASH decision till 2001 you will not typically see the kind of <br />analysis that we have. On the other hand, what you typically see from the applicant is a fairly <br />cursorystatementthatthereisntanythinggoingon.AndImnotsurethatwewouldget <br />something much more than that in a typical subdivision application. Im willing to look at that <br />but, again, Id rather not do it in the course of this vehicle. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Springer, follow-up? <br />SPRINGER:No, thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Chris, could you just give us a sense, you know, if were trying to decide <br />whether we want to continue it for one more meeting, whats the real time pressure feeling that <br />makes you really want to have us deal with it today? <br />YUEN:Well, we have subdivisions going to final approval, all right? We, what <br />we have to do now is we have to go back, when its ready to final, we have to go back and look <br />at the preliminary plat and see what information was missing on the preliminary plat. And then <br />we list that information and we take it to the Department of Public Works and the Department of <br />Water Supply and say if you had had this information when you looked at the preliminary plat <br />the first time would your recommendation be different? And they typically say no. And then we <br />go ahead and finalize the subdivision. But theres this on-going kind of, theres this on-going <br />back and forth that has to happen because of the decision that was made. <br />The second thing is that, not so much from the standpoint of the Department but from people out <br />there, if they dont list the improvements, etc., etc., with their preliminary application, we have to <br />bounce it because it doesnt conform. So the people are holding off on applying because they <br />dont want to do the engineering for the subdivision before putting in the preliminary plat. Then <br />we have people who are amending, in order to get their subdivisions moving, theyre amending <br />their preliminary plats, so were getting stacks of amended preliminary plat maps in all the time. <br />So theres quite a bit going on. <br />GRAHAM:So, in summary, excuse me, in summary its just a sort of on-going <br />uncomfortableness with the process as it is now that youd like to get fixed as soon as possible? <br />Its not that theres any particular deadline coming up or anything like that? <br />12EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
