drafting of this bill is to address large scale developments. Because those are the projects that <br />would impact, you know, roads, water and County services and all that that all of us are <br />concerned about. Now if we€re looking doing the subdivision process, we€re looking at a whole <br />lot of subdivision applications that would come, but they would come in small increments, <br />perhaps not more than 10 lots or whatever. What we€re doing is we€re penalizing those <br />individuals who can least afford to meet the requirements of the bill. And that€s my concern at <br />this point. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you, Mr. Domingo. Any other comments? Commissioner <br />Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yes. I€d just like to give you an example of my community which is a <br />very, has large agricultural parcels. The smallest, and not too many of them, being 5 acres and <br />some of them are 100 acres or a little bit more, and all zoned Ag-5. This community is a cul-de- <br />sacandwithaverysubstandardnonofficialeasementroadthatleadsinandout.Andifthese <br />parcels, 100-acre parcels, without changing the zone can make 20 lots, 20 lots here, 20 lots there <br />in a small area, that can be a tremendous impact. And basically what happens is that the impact <br />on the road, on emergency evacuation, things like that, that€s not fair to the other people there. <br />So I€m looking at fairness to other people also but from a totally opposite end of where you€re <br />looking at it from, Taka. <br />DOMINGO:Yeah. Again, during the subdivision process or plan approval process, <br />there is a mechanism that the Planning Director or the staff can rely on to impose certain needed <br />kinds of improvements on the property to ensure that the safety and welfare of the surrounding <br />community would be addressed. You know, that being in place, I feel comfortable that that may <br />answer the problem, rather than them facing the requirements of the other bills, the bills that we <br />have before us. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. Any other comments from Commissioners? Norman, would <br />you take the roll, please. <br />HAYASHI:Thank you. The motion is to send an unfavorable recommendation on <br />Council initiated Bill No. 319. Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Aye. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Domingo? <br />DOMINGO:Aye. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Rho? <br />RHO:Aye. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Nay. <br />15EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
