SPRINGER:Mm, hm. ALAMEDA:I just wanted to get a feel for Commissioner Graham on his earlier point and then kind of it you would please your feeling of kind of where youre at? I think you raised a good concern thats why regarding this applicant. SPRINGER:Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:You mean something different than what I said before or? ALAMEDA:Just given what youve heard, since now this is the time we can discuss. GRAHAM:Sure. Well when I originally saw this application I was concerned about cutting down ag size but I really appreciated Director Yuens discussion and the recommendationherewhichIthoughtwasquiteonpointsothatImcomfortablewiththe change in ag sizes in this area. And again Im in support of this rezoning but I was very concerned about losing lateral access along between the subdivisions because I see that problem there all the time. And I actually have a sister who lives on one of the different roads and I see the problems that kids have there and everything. So I just want to try and use this opportunity to at least keep our options open in that regard. SPRINGER:Any further discussion? Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA:I feel little bit-, about the flooding situation I feel like we just kind of-, not really revisiting that somehow and I feel little bit uncomfortable about-. Cause I know part of our decision is you know like are we enhancing the quality of life, quality of life issue and we are for the Inabas but we probably wouldnt be for the surrounding properties given the flooding situation. So, in terms of supporting this applicant Im still 50/50 thats why Im looking for you know, other input so it could help me with my decision. SPRINGER:Other Commissioners we hear Commissioner Alamedas concern. His concern that the flooding may be exaggerated or exacerbated by this approval. Mr. Yuen do you have any input to make to the Commissioner? YUEN:I understand the Commission members concern when members of the public come and they tell us they have a problem. And I believe what they say. However we are looking here at a subdivision where we havent seen anything that really indicates that this subdivision will make it worse. As members of the County who live on a-, who live in a subdivision with County dedicated roads and infrastructure they can expect to County to try to solve their problems for them as it stands yeah. But its not something that the Planning Commission is responsible for doing. So, and naturally this application being a public hearing is a forum for people. And its very natural they come-, its a forum where they can voice their concerns about the existing condition and say look dont make it worse. I would be-; we should do what we can in this rezoning to avoid making things worse. I dont think we should hold up the rezoning because of actions not taken that would make things, it would make the existing condition get better. EXHIBIT F 22
