YUEN:This application has a number of, you know, every application has to be judged on its own merits. This application does have a number of features that are unique to it. Youre not, its zoned, and although its zoned Agricultural 20 acres and the whole, actually this Kokoiki area is zoned Agricultural 20 acres, it is actually an area of relatively small lots. Most of the lots on the road are one- to two-acre lots. And this lot is a four-acre lot, then were talking an application that creates one lot. In a similar situation, we act similarly, yes. But you have to not filter out all, you have to look at the whole picture that this application presented before jumping to the conclusion that another application is the same. GALDONES:Commissioners? Mr. Mitchell? MITCHELL:Thank you for your comment, Commissioner. Id just like to pointoutthatsomeoneinthelocalareapostedthenoticethatthisrezoningwastaking place, at the local post office which is our gathering point. I mean, anybody who knows Hawi and Kapaau knows that pretty much everybody goes there on a daily basis; and it was posted and highlighted. And I dont see one person here in opposition of this rezoning application. So, you know, and I really appreciate and we do want to keep Kohala beautiful but it does not seem that theres any opposition from the community. GRAHAM:Yeah. I think thats a valid and important one. And, in fact, I did post it on the -. MITCHELL:Oh. GRAHAM:At the post office in North Kohala. GALDONES:Any further comments, questions, further discussions? Commissioner McCall? MCCALL:Maybe just a point. If this rezoning goes through to Family Ag 20-acre, Mr. Bryans parcel, which is 2.7 acres, could be then, he could come in for another resubdivision to split up his, his mothers lot and his lot? YUEN:We have a clause that only one additional lot can be created. And if Im not mistaken, the tricky part here, if Im not mistaken, is that the Zoning Code says that youre supposed to, the FA is supposed to be in increments of one acre. Is that right? Does it say that? You couldnt, you know, they dont have enough for, if you went to FA-2a, which would make sense, they dont have enough for two 2-acres. But with, because the application came in as we want to make one lot, we held that condition here; and it does say that -. So both properties, the entire property is covered by the zoning of the one acre, but the rezoning ordinance limits it to the one additional lot. MCCALL:I mean, thats fine for now. But, say, 10 years from now, I really doubt somebody going to come back and look at what conditions are there when 8
