which Mr. Yuen said the amended Condition would allow for this as it says as required by the Department of Water Supply. Mr. Yuen then recommended that Condition H be deleted as he did not want to precludethe possibility of the applicant requesting a variance. In response to Commissioner Siracusas inquiry, Mr. Yuen said Condition G is a standard condition imposed upon such applications and that he did not feel it needed to be amended even if street lights are not required for this subdivision. Mr. Yuen noted that the applicant would probably be required to install a stop sign at the intersection. Commissioner Springer questioned if Condition L should be amended to include a forest management plan. Mr. Yuen said that in the Kaloko Mauka area the Department is finding it difficult to continually impose such a condition and will be attempting to create a standard plan thatwillbeincorporatedasacondition. InresponsetoCommissionerSiracusassuggestionrelatingtoConditionL,theapplicantstated he will look into dedicating a portion of the property to native forest to obtain a real property tax break. For Comissioner Salaveas information, Mr. Bell stated they were not planning any improvements to Wilder Road, except at the intersection, and they would have to be approved by the Department of Public Works and Planning Department. He added that they will build a single agricultural road up to the easement onto the Newton property. In response to Commissioner Salaveas concern of creating additional lots in the area where the stream rises over the bridge or road during heavy rains, Mr. Yuen said he could not say specifically if this was a consideration in the recommendation, but they did feel the proposal was a minimal addition to the uses of Wilder Road. There was no one from the public wishing to testify on the application. It was moved by Commissioner Springer and seconded by Commissioner Siracusa that the application be approved for the reasons and with the conditions, as recommended and amended by the Planning Director. A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with six ayes (Springer, Siracusa, Watanabe, McCall, Salavea, and Alameda) and three absent and excused (Galdones, Graham and Iwashita).
