KUBOTA:I see. <br />YUEN:Let me give an example. Say somebody sets up a subdivision <br />under existing zoning that does not restrict the property to one house on the lot. And by <br />zoning, and as far as the County is concerned, if it's in the Agricultural District, the <br />person can come in and apply for additional farm dwellings. But if the subdivider put in <br />a clause in the subdivision that you can only have one house on the lot, then that's, that <br />overrides the County zoning and it would be a violation of the covenants. It would be a <br />private matter between the lot owners, but it would be a violation of the covenants then to <br />put in more than one house on that lot, regardless of the fact, regardless of the fact that <br />the zoning would allow more. <br />Give another example, you could take a piece of property that's zoned for Multi-Family, <br />and put a covenant in that. The private owner could put a covenant in that you could only <br />put one house on it, and that would be effective, as well. And you could only put one <br />house on that, because as a private matter, even though the County zoning would allow <br />several dwellings or multiple dwellings to be put on it. Anyway, that's the -. You can see <br />this is -. <br />KUBOTA:Okay. <br />YUEN:Rather involved and -. <br />KUBOTA:Yes, it is. <br />YUEN:That's the thought process behind wording it like this. <br />KUBOTA:Thank you. <br />ARAI:Mr. Chairman? <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Springer. <br />SPRINGER:I have a question regarding Condition H. The question is if that, in <br />part, addresses the concern raised in the Background Report at Item 34 from Department <br />of Public Works, under Roadways, Item 2, which indicates that intersection sight distance <br />is not adequate. <br />ARAI:The setting aside of the 15-foot wide road easement does not by <br />and of itself directly address the sight distance at the intersection of that homestead road <br />and the Mmalahoa Highway. And I should note that that intersection is about 700 feet <br />makai of the makai boundary of the project site. Primarily, the 15-foot wide easement <br />that we're asking for is simply to widen the roadways. Ki, I don't know if maybe Public <br />Works may have additional comments on this, but the thought process is that in the end, <br />we are asking, the applicant is asking for a zoning that would allow basically one <br />8 <br /> <br />
