KUBOTA:Yes, Mr. Chair, while weÓre on the subject of the segmentation, before I forget, I would like to request that since segmentation seems to have come to the fore regarding the, well, it has been in the fore, letÓs leave it at that. I would like for us to schedule some discussion amongst the Commissioners and the Planning Director on how we are going to best handle all of these requests that are coming through that may seem like segmentation, who is to determine whether these kinds of restrictions be included. I would like to have a discussion on all of the ramifications of the segmentation process and how the County plans, in the future, to handle such requests that are coming through. GALDONES:Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:I would like to support Commissioner Kubota in her concern. It does feel like weÓre getting continual comments from the Land Use Commission regarding this issue. And when somebody gives you a continual c something about your behavior, you tend to want to take it seriously rather than pro forma or anything, not that thatÓs all weÓre doing here. And, also, just for the public, you know, we donÓt really have discussions informally or anything about this, so either we kind of use our time during a public hearing which is really probably not appropriate to discuss it or else we have to come up with something special, like Ms. Kubota was saying. Also, in regard to this, it seems to me that when I read the let Commission, it wasnÓt just talking about segmentation in a time sense; and Planning Director Yuen sort of said that his mild way of addressing it with the restriction on the 8-acre parcel seem to me that sort of addresses the time segment, the time issue about, you know, segmentation doing it now for this and later for somet like the letter from the Land Use Commission was looking at the very idea where you have a 23-acre parcel and you only recategorize, reclassify a portion of it, you know, what are the reasons why youÓre not reclassifying the whole thing, are there really reasons there on the ground, or is this sort of a way to avoid. So, anyway, I think it really merits our further discussion at some point; and I donÓt know that we need to continue with this application, but I agree with Ms. Kubota. GALDONES:Commissioners, letÓs do this, and since we have this subject matter here before us right now, and although the subject matter being discussed right now has some pertinence to continuing in our work as Commissioners, letÓs dispose of this subject matter before us. Then, after that, weÓll entertain a motion, if youÓd like to, Ms. Kubota, put that into a motion, and letÓs have a discussion and act upon it before I take the next agenda item. KUBOTA:Thank you. GALDONES:Okay. Commissioners, any further discussion on the subject matter before us? Hearing none, Commissioners, the State Land Use Boundary Amendment comes with a recommendation, a favorable recommendatio Department. What is the wishes of the Commission? 8
