one lot that we purchased ourselves. And the wording of the rationale is to allow future commercial development for Ainaloa Subdivision and other subdivisions; and yet its intended to be placed in our subdivision. Those other subdivisions have got community property where it can be done. So thats basically what Ive got to say. ALAMEDA:Very good. Well stated. Any questions for Bob? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Just so that, Ill try to be clear cause I didnt realize there was an issue here. But the Planning Director is proposing a sort of large Medium Density Urban area in your subdivision which is considerably larger than what you had assumed, might be the case given the general direction the County was taking. So the location is appropriate but the size is much larger than what you feel is appropriate? Is that kind of the gist of it? ELY:Thatsbasicallycorrect,itintrudesfurtherintothesubdivisionintoareas where there are new houses that have already been constructed, and it also goes down side roads, which we did not anticipate. GRAHAM:In other words, you only anticipated it going along Ainaloa Boulevard? ELY:Either, there are two, numbers A-1 and A-2. A-1 goes along Ainaloa Boulevard and it is five lots deep into the subdivision. That was not expected. And it also goes th along Orchidland Drive; and that goes three lots into the subdivision. And it also goes past 35 which we did not expect. GRAHAM:So maybe we should pass the ball tothe Planning Director and he can give us a little background as to why it got the extent that it has here in the proposal. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:Well, early on in the formulation of this proposal, we did send a proposed amendmenton Orchidland Drive to the Community Association with a map, and we got a letter back from the Community Association December 15, 2005 saying that We agree with the change in designation to Medium Density Urban; however, we think it should be limited mid- thththth way between 34 and 35 and not between 35 and 36. Perhaps this was a typographical in the plan. Please be aware that there are three new residences under construction in the first half thth block between 35 and 36. It would not be fair to them to change the designation after the th fact. In response to that I wrote a letter which was dated February 26 to the President of the Community Association saying Thank you for your comments Im going to skip some of it. . It says, Ive revised the proposed amendments.
