today but it would reduce compounding the problem. Each application that we approve, based on the merits of that single application may appear harmle may have a cumulative effect, which I think that is what Commissioner Kubota has been discussing with us, both at this time and previously in the meeting. The solution certainly doesnÓt rest on a single subdivision or rezoning, approving or denial, but in the aggregate, it does. ThatÓs my comment. GALDONES:Further comments from the Commissioners? Then the Chair would like to recommend, considering the discussion that is ongoing and the points that were brought out, that I would recommend to the Commissioners that an unfavorable recommendation be forward to the County Council; and the reasons stated would be going into the record that, the comments that was made by Commissioner Kubota. And itÓs not necessarily that we are entirely against it but the dilemma that we are faced with is quite troublesome. Commissioner Kubota? KUBOTA:Mr. Chairman, that was not my motion. That is not the motion that I intended, as surprising as it may sound to you. I feel that the Applicant and the application is a valid application in and of itself. Our staff did studies on it. Their Facts and Findings support that. The only hitch is the traffic problem. I would like to instead say in gist -. I would like to send a favorable recommendation to the County Council. Because theyÓre the final authority on this, weÓre not. WeÓre just intermediary, weÓre just making a recommendation to them. But we should highlight in red, red, red, red signals the difficulty that weÓre facing at this level because of the mi involved, mainly traffic. ThatÓs the gist that I wanted to send up to the Council. GALDONES:In not so many words, would you like to incorporate that into a motion? KUBOTA:Yes, I would. I move that the Change of Zone Application REZ 03-013, be sent to the County Council with a favorable recommendation, along with the Findings and the Recommendations submitted to us by our Plan with a correction on recommendation G, as in George, as stated by staff. Oh, along with, another along with, a P.S. to the County Council that they look at, they seriously look at the traffic, I guess itÓs called the problem, dilemma, that the approvals will cause on this particular problem. I donÓt know if I said it correctly but thatÓs what I mean. FUJIKAWA:I second. GALDONES:Okay, it has been moved by Commissioner Kubota and seconded by Commissioner Fujikawa that Change of Zone Application, REZ 03-013, be given a favorable recommendation for a Change of Zone and be forwarded t Council, along with the Findings and the Recommendations and the amendments to Item G, Condition Item G, and, also, with a note that the County Council seriously look at the traffic problem out in this area. Are there any further discussions? Commissioner Springer? 37
