GALDONES:Do you have any comments on them? <br />MOOERS:Yes. First, I€d like to point out on our site plan, proposed Lot 1-B <br />is not intended to have direct access off Kaloko Drive. It is actually a flag lot off of Mahi <br />Street. So if you look at the rezoning exhibit in the Background Report, you€ll see that <br />Lot 1-B is designed to be a flag lot. <br />I€d like to respond to the comments that Commissioner Springer made regarding the <br />condition, present use or condition of the property which I think is important. This side <br />has been cleared, a substantial portion had been cleared previously. Under the conditions <br />of this Change of Zone, there will have to be a reforestation plan that€s approved by the <br />Department. And so I think what we€ll see in this action is we€ll actually improve the <br />forest, because it€ll have to be replanted in a number of areas. There are avocado trees <br />that had been developed and used as an orchard as part of Lot 1. And I think what the <br />Applicant will need to do is to determine if they want to try to maintain part of that and <br />develop a reforestation plan and forest management plan consistent with these conditions. <br />They could be approved by the Department. If not, then those trees would need to be <br />removedandothernativespecieswouldhavetobeplanted.Sothat,Ithink,isreallythe <br />benefit of this rezoning, is that a lot that has been at a lower elevation substantially <br />grubbed and cleared and used for pasture and the avocado orchard in the past will be <br />reforested with native forest. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Any further questions of Mr. Mooers? <br />HAYASHI:Mr. Chair, and I do stand corrected. There is an access as <br />Mr. Mooers had indicated off of, flag lot off of Mahi Street for Proposed Lot 1-B. It just <br />so happens it€s shaded over so it€s not distinguishable on this map. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:So to clarify then, this is in compliance with the -? <br />HAYASHI:As laid out, yes. <br />GALDONES:Any further questions, Commissioners? <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Chair? <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Springer? <br />SPRINGER:This question being to the Director regarding Ag lands that are in <br />watershed areas. Then native forest or any forest cover, in effect, growing a crop of, <br />water, falls under the agricultural conditions? <br />3 <br /> <br />
