what the applicant is currently proposing to service just the two houses. The anticipated cost was something in the neighborhood of a million dollars. So of the proposal, we felt that, and knowing that water is and will be provided to the two homes being proposed, irregardless of whether it's subdivided or not, we are not asking for any additional water system improvements at this time. There's these confused looks, so I guess IÓve got to clarify it. KUBOTA:My looks deceive me, I mean -. ARAI:Yeah. KUBOTA:I won't look at you. ARAI:Okay. Water Department's policy is that when you subdivide parcel, they have higher standards in providing water service to service this, the proposed subdivision. And that includes providing a system that can be dedicated to, I'm sorry, not dedicated, meeting with their full standards, and that is the million dollar cost that is associated with those improvements. The applicant's proposal is sort of like, is providing two meters at the highway and then providing service laterals that goes up to the property as well as putting a reservoir on site, which is only 10,000 gallons, to service the two dwellings on the property. That is the current proposal by the applicant that has, that's what has been approved by the Department of Water Supply, currently. With the conditions of approval that we have offered to you, there is a restriction that no more than one home can be built on each property. So should this change of zone be granted, the end result is you still would have no more than two homes on this 21-acre project site. So that being said, we thought it would be unreasonable to ask the applicant to provide a million dollars worth of water system improvements when the end result is you have two homes on the property, irregardless of whether it's subdivided or not. And that is why there is no specific requirements asking for the added improvements. Okay, maybe IÓm going in circles here but, and maybe the applicant can clarify. YUEN:The end result is that to subdivide the property, they woul ask for a variance from the Water Supply's requirement of these explain a little further. Suppose they -. Let me just give an example. Suppose they already had the zoning to put two lots there. Say it was already zoned Ag-10 acres, all right, and they were going to make two 10-acre lots. And they have, they have two meters, okay, on the -, but they're down on the Mmalahoa Highway. When the subdivision application came in, would come in, Water Supply would generate a letter that looked just like the letter that you see in the file that says in order to subdivide, we look at this differently than having two houses on an unsubdivided lot, or having -, well, than having two houses on an unsubdivided lot; and we would want the full six-inch water line brought up to the property line, plus these storage tanks because they are not within our ordinary elevation. At that point, the applicant could apply for a variance. 3
