DARROW: The particular Î oh, let me grab something from Steve real fast Î as mentioned previously, the actual project location is identified in a darker yellow which is Single- Family Residential 15,000 square feet. The zoning to the north and the south, a light green is Agricultural 5-acre zoning. There is some darker green located in this particular area, which is Agricultural 1-acre, and then all the blue identified is Agricultural 3 acres and thatÓs the major of Kohala Ranch Estates. The brown, you might be familiar with that, I believe thatÓs Kohala By The Sea Î itÓs a Multiple-Family Residential zoning. So you have some multiple-family residential units located on the makai side. And again, we do have the General Plan for the particular area. The yellow is identified as Low- Density Urban, and we also have some Rural as well as the majority of this particular area is identified as Extensive Agriculture. The area located just to the north is identified for Conservation and I believe thatÓs owned by the State of HawaiÒi Î that particular property. HOUSEL: Okay, thank you very much. WATANABE: Any further comments? HOUSEL: I guess I have a comment that IÓm very concerned the way you are proposing twelve lots there. It is about three acres per lot. It seems to me that IÓm uncomfortable with that much density. I would ask you to maybe consider a lower density. That would be my recommendation. WATANABE: Mr. Iokepa? IOKEPA: Yes, sir. WATANABE: You have any feelings on this? TheyÓre, you know, they are trying to preserve their rights and yet they are trying to compromise, so -. Your comments would not be binding technically, but it will give them a good feel of what they need to do. IOKEPA: Right, you know, because I live up in North Kohala as La foremost I donÓt like to see development. However, you know, prudence would be mandated here as far as how much development you put in there. So if you can reduce it, that would be in my opinion the thing to do for the coastline. ThatÓs it. WATANABE: With regard to the three acres that they are proposing and, is it twelve lots? Twelve lots, yeah? Is that in your mind enough of a -. IOKEPA: Reduction? WATANABE: Reduction, inclusive of, I believe they are proposing a 150-foot setbacks on both sides, mauka and makai, of the property Î so shoreline and roadway. Do you feel thatÓs reasonable, or -? IOKEPA: Yeah, considered, yeah -. EXHIBIT B 8
