DEFRANCO: And do you agree with the recommendations including the proposed conditions? GARSON: Yes, we do. DEFRANCO: Okay and do you have any other comments then. GARSON: If you'll indulge me, I do have a short presentation. DEFRANCO: Thank you. GARSON: I believe that some of you were here in 2021 when the applicant brought a prior application before the Leeward Planning Commission. Our prior application had requested that the back portion of the lot be State Land Use designated Urban and that back portion of the lot be rezoned to RS-10. At that time, there were a lot of comments about that application, and we do have some of the comments up just to kind of remind where we were. Chair DeFranco you asked that applicant to go back and look at the project, reconsider the design. Commissioner Paishon-Duarte said we'll need to do a little bit better at preserving Waimea sense of space and at that time the Planning Director and Planning Department had a couple of suggestions. These were made at the meeting in the last time. asked us, suggested maybe we look at Rural, Residential Ag. At that time it was Chair Vitousek, you know like rural sounds good. So, what the applicant did was go back, take another look at the project, consult with the Planning Department again and so what you have before you is an application that is the result of that 9 EXHIBIT B
