had a conversation about this, he was rather skeptical about Curtis Tyler and his wife being able to farm anything on one acre. He will recall the discussion. And I said, yes, I hear what youÓre saying because not many people are doing it. But we are doing it, we will do it, and we will conform to the law. Because it is what we understand and what we want to do. Now I donÓt presume to, short of growing an illegal crop which I will not do, I donÓt presume to make a living on this. On the other hand, it might help pay the taxes which are incredible on a piece of vacant land down there, itÓs unbelievable. I think itÓs $1,700 a year now. ThereÓs nothing on it, except for, you know, what w So, I say this because I think the Department now, as a result o decision, as a result of other decisions, the Department is well aware of this, and they are making the Applicants aware of this. And IÓm sure that Mr. Fuke, as the land use planning consultant for the Malians, as well as the others who are sitting in the back of the room, are well aware of this. Indeed, it appears to be a quandary for some. But for those of us who understand the law, I think it is a wonderful opportunity to promote agriculture. And let there be no mistake, Class C and D soils bear no resemblance to the agricultural productivity of the property in Kona. The limiting factor is how much elbow grease you have and how much ua is available, how much, you know that for a personal experience -. And I commend the Director fo obviously, when he wrote this, he didnÓt have the benefit of seeing the Hokulia decision in front of him. So, he, too, understands this. Thank you, Mr. FUJIKAWA:Okay. Thank you very much. Is there any other questio the Commission to both persons down there, Mr. Fuke and Curtis Tyler? None? Do I hear, entertain a motion? KUBOTA:Mr. Chairman? FUJIKAWA:Go ahead, Commissioner Kubota. KUBOTA:I move the Change of Zone application, REZ 03-015, be giv favorable recommendation and be forwarded to the County Council, along with the recommendations and the conditions set forth by the Planning Department. SPRINGER:Second. FUJIKAWA:It has been moved by Commissioner Kubota and seconded b Commissioner Springer that this application, REZ 03-015, Change of Zone application, be forwarded to the County Council.
