VITOUSEK: Mahalo and then to Vice Chair Knowles point. Looking at this area <br /> on the ground there are look at the zoning map and can see that there are commercial buildings in <br /> the area. But all of those are in historic buildings with the exception of the gas station across the <br /> street which really stands out tremendously in that area. But going to the east you've got the Fish <br /> and the Hog building, which is a historic building. The one to the west is another historic home <br /> site used as a commercial. So, the character of the area isn't changed by the use of those historic <br /> buildings. This would be a pretty — <br /> DEFRANCO: Right. <br /> VITOUSEK: — significant— <br /> DEFRANCO: Is this a question? <br /> VITOUSEK: Sure. The question is, is this the most appropriate zoning. I <br /> understand this is within the State Land Use Boundary, but, because we have dual land use <br /> regulations. Has the County considered any other zonings that would be more appropriate for this <br /> portion of town? <br /> KAY: Sure, um' so, I mean ultimately if we're talking about the makai <br /> portion as the Director stated is already Urban and so the zoning code would obviously control <br /> and if the zoning is approved then anything in the CN zoning would be allowed. The mauka <br /> portion that is going from being proposed to go from Ag to Rural is fully within the County's <br /> purview as well as it's under 15 acres. So, that's why it's brought in front of you folks as well. <br /> So, yeah, I think that we are responding to this application right and I believe the Director's <br /> recommendation makes it clear that we feel that it's appropriate the proposed RA zoning. <br /> DEFRANCO: Thank you. Okay, so we're going to get a presentation then from <br /> the applicant. Thank you Christian, okay. So, we'll the applicant and the representative please <br /> come forward. <br /> TWO FEMALES AND A MALE CAME TO THE TESTIFIER TABLE <br /> FEMALE: Good morning, Chair DeFranco. <br /> DEFRANCO: Good morning.
