GRAHAM:Excuse me, just for a point of information ƒ. Let€s suppose we do have a <br />good slope and somebody wants to build one of the monster houses, so from the top they could <br />go up 45 feet and from the bottom maybe they could have four stories or something down to <br />wherever the bottom goes, is that right? <br />ALAMEDA:Is that right, Mr. Director? <br />YUEN:You could get another 10 feet. Yes, you can get at least another 10 feet <br />without kicking in this averaging thing again. <br />GRAHAM:Okay. But we could put in the condition so that if they have to kick in the <br />averaging, they will kick in the averaging? Can we do that, however Commissioner Watanabe <br />suggested it and you said there€s rules in place for it? <br />YUEN:Well, what I just described to you is how you€d measure according to the <br />Zoning Code. And the reason we may put that in here was cause there is a set of rules in the <br />Zoning Code for how to measure height. If you scrap all of those, you€d have to start from <br />scratch all over again and then think of how you€re going to do it. It€s true that under the Zoning <br />Code even though a house might be measured at 25 feet high because you€re measuring from the <br />high point of the grade, measured from the low point of the grade the house could be 35 feet <br />high. That is true. <br />GRAHAM:Okay. <br />ALAMEDA:Any other questions for the applicants? Seeing none, any further <br />comments? <br />MOOERS:No. I certainly appreciate Commissioner Graham€s concerns. And I think <br />we€ve tried to make every effort we can to accommodate those, both in density and in height, <br />and accommodate the viewplane and the public access issues. So hopefully the Commissioners <br />will feel comfortable that we€ve made that and with conditions enforced, that those conditions <br />will be carried out. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. We do have testimony today so we€ll call you guys back up again. <br />You may be seated. <br />Is there a Jeff Sacher? Please have a seat. Thank you for waiting patiently. Please raise your <br />right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii County Planning <br />Commission? <br />SACHER:Ido. <br />ALAMEDA:Thankyou,Jeff.Pleasestateyournameandaddressfortherecord. <br />SACHER:MynameisJeffSacher,59-209LaninuiDrive,Kawaihae,96743. <br />ALAMEDA:Youmayproceed. <br />SACHER:Okay.WhenIfirstheardaboutthissubdivisionIthoughtitwasgreat <br />becauseitwasgoingtohelpourpropertyvalues.ThenIstartedthinkingalittlebitdownthe <br />road which I tried to do and see how it€s going to affect a lot of things that are going on around <br />me. <br />11 <br /> <br />
