SIRACUSA:So, in that case if we approve this then any of thosepermitted uses would <br />have to apply for an SMA permit and then our hands would be tied. We could only look at the <br />SMA pertinent issues and not other side issues as we were discussing in the previous case. <br />YUEN:Thats correct. Well, I dont want to say your hands are tied either but you <br />are limited to the SMA permit issue. Yes, you- it wouldnt be a categorical rejection of any of <br />these possible uses that are in the MCX zone. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:Thank you. I just want toclarify your earlier statement that or maybe its <br />my misunderstanding of your earlier statement. Am I to? My understanding now is that as far as <br />rezoning this property this is the only way you can do it? Cause Im thinking actually from our <br />perspectiveandtheconcernsthatarebeingexpressednowwewouldyouknowIwouldmuch <br />rather have a specific kind of project on the table that conceptually anyway right that were <br />looking at in terms of doing the rezoning application. Because in that you know in this process <br />in the rezoning process right then we have the most control as it were in terms of you know <br />addressing the concerns of what type of development this is going to be. Whether or not you <br />know its compatible in the area. Whether or not the zoning thats being requested is really the <br />one we want to do. So I guess Im asking you know why cant you do it that way? <br />CHUN:Well, two of them, one is I think we get a bigger bang for our buck as far <br />as return on the property if we offer out rezoned property. Second I really think that during in <br />the actual rezoning process itself you know Id always been led to understand that when you <br />rezone the property youre looking at all potential impacts including all potential uses. In other <br />words I could come to you with the one guy that says hes going to build you know a 500 square <br />foot restaurant and then 5 years from now its torn down its rezoned and all of this thing is open <br />for him as well. You know so, as far as analyzing the impact of that immediate or proposed use I <br />dont think you would- I would hope you wouldnt limit it to only that in the rezoning right? <br />Cause once it gets, if it is zoned to MCX doesnt it make it available to all? <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:I see where Commissioner Iwashitas coming from and Im really feeling <br />like were being asked to approve a pig in the poke here and I dont feel comfortable with that. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:Cause you know normally I guess, Ive only been doing this for a little <br />while but what Ive seen you know. Kamehameha Schools have come before us with rezoning <br />requests and it you know. We see plans we see you know basically a specific project that were <br />looking at in the process and you know. We have another item on our agenda basically similar <br />kind of situation so it is just a general concern really that you know. Coming in without any <br />specific kind of proposal and there are a multitude of different kind of uses that are allowed in <br />the zoning change that youre asking for. And sure rezoning is something you know an upgrade <br />EXHIBIT B <br />7 <br /> <br />
