Ordinance says you round to the higher. Thats what it says. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. Any other questions? We dont have anybody signed <br />up at this point to testify; but if there is anyone here that would like to testify on this agenda <br />item, you can come forward right now and do that. If not, I will turn the meeting over to the <br />Planning Commission members. You may stay there if youd like, but youd only give your <br />testimony if we are specifically asking it. One comment from Mr. Yuen? <br />YUEN:Yeah, I have a question for the applicant. When you talk about not <br />having a house size covenant, it was my understanding that Kohala Estates as a whole has a <br />2,000-square foot minimum house size covenant. Is that correct? <br />FISCHER:Kohala Estates has no covenants. Its only the little size <br />subdivisions within Kohala Estates that put covenants on themselves. And most of them that Im <br />awareofdontaddresshousesizetoomuch,andgenerallykindofmoreinthe,like,1,200-foot <br />range. Maybe some go up to 2,000, but thats a minority of the whole area. <br />YUEN:Okay. Thank you. <br />GRAHAM:All right. Did you have a question, Mr. Woodward? <br />WOODWARD:Well, I had a comment actually. I agree with some of the things <br />that have been said, and I think in this particular case this affordable housing covenant is unduly <br />burdensome, but Im not sure the easiest way around it. Now if we are talking about rounding, <br />one of the things that you might consider is making seven lots instead of eight, and then you will <br />only have to have one credit. <br />FISCHER:Interesting question because we are only making seven lots that are <br />3 acres. The eighth lot is 5 acres. But the Housing people still consider it an 8-lot 3-acre <br />subdivision, and they round up; they never round down. Although they did say they might -. I <br />got the feeling from what they said that this is not really the kind of project that the rules were <br />geared toward. And they sort of were talking like maybe one lot instead of two lots, but that was <br />just a feeling in a casual conversation. They seem flexible and willing to consider different <br />options. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. Mr. Yuen, when you said €round up, did that mean <br />any fraction goes up to the next number or -? <br />YUEN:No. Its at a break point. If it was 1.4, you would round down. <br />GRAHAM:You would round down. <br />YUEN:Yes. <br />GRAHAM:All right. Thank you for your comment, Mr. Woodward. All <br />right, we are ready for our action or further comments. Commissioner Watanabe? <br />10EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
