over 10 years to have built, actually built affordable housing within our subdivision at Lokahi <br />and we are the first developer to build a 100% affordable project in the North Kona area in I <br />think also over 10 or 15 years. So we have made the commitment to build affordable housing. <br />We will build this project Mr. Iwashita either way but we are looking to control our costs. <br />ALAMEDA:Any further questions Commissioners for our applicant? Commissioner <br />Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:It€s my understanding that you own several parcels, what about 3 of them <br />that are makai, mauka excuse me of this particular project? Is that correct? <br />DICKLER:Two mauka and one north of it (inaudible). <br />WATANABE:Okay thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Fellow Commissioners any questions for our applicant or Mr. Fuke or our <br />staff?ForthepublicforthoseofyouwhomayhavewalkedinlateIseenotestifiersheretoday <br />but never too late so if there€s any testifiers who€d like to testify on this particular agenda item <br />please do so by approaching our staff. If none, that brings it back to fellow Commissioners. <br />What€s your pleasure on this particular agenda item? Discussion? Go ahead Commissioner <br />Graham and then Commissioner Iwashita. <br />GRAHAM:I just have to say you know I accept the sincerity of the applicant. You <br />know that they are in fact responding to the concern-. They are responding to the situation as <br />they portray it and that and their intentions and all. And I guess the biggest pill for me to <br />swallow though would be what will in fact happen in the future. Like Mr. Fuke said it could be 5 <br />years from now or 20 years from now. If I really felt that past history and my understanding of <br />how things work was such that if some time in the future it really became appropriate to build <br />this road for use that I was sure that within 90 days somebody would have that road built and the <br />way it would be and there€s no real loss to the public you know I would feel a lot better about <br />supporting what you€re asking here because it does have reasonableness. But given that we <br />don€t know who€s going to be owning the property. We don€t know whose going to be the <br />Planning Director. We don€t know whether there could be litigation about this map. It just feels <br />like there a huge risk to this whole thing running into some kind of a hassle and not really <br />coming about at the appropriate time. I€m sure willing to hear anything the Planning Director <br />may have to say in response to that. <br />ALAMEDA:Mr. Director do you want to respond or? Okay. <br />YUEN:I guess the gist of your comments are some skepticism about the diligence <br />of the Planning Department in the future. The act that would trigger this road being necessary <br />would be the State wanting to develop the property immediately adjacent. So, you would have a <br />public agency that would be-, there would be some public interest and some public agency <br />urging the County to make this road get built by the private side if and when the State wanted to <br />move forward. So it€s not strictly a question of the County being able to sit in a room with a <br />couple of private developers and let them off the hook with nobody noticing. And finally, the <br />EXHIBIT A <br />8 <br /> <br />
