accompanied by an SMA Permit where a rezoning was as wide open i <br />as this Project District rezoning. You know, the, IÓm quite certain of that and that <br />difference. I have to say that I think we should process things and look at things <br />differently when you have a different kind of project. You canÓt take every project and <br />take it through the same way. <br />KUBOTA:So your basic, your basic reason is that the ideas are unformed at <br />this point for this project? <br />YUEN:The final outcome of what the project is likely to look like is very <br />unformed. <br />KUBOTA:WerenÓt they true of others? I mean -. <br />YUEN:If it could be -. <br />KUBOTA:The developers, excuse me, the developers could come in w <br />ideas but theyÓre still in the nebulous stage where itÓs their idea and itÓs not cemented in <br />concrete, yet, at that point. So it could change, it could fluctuate. And how is that <br />different from this one? They come in with a set of ideas, as ideas that may seem to be; <br />and, yet, they donÓt seem to me, at this point, to be any different than the ones that were <br />brought up by other applications. <br />YUEN:If you would, if you can give me an example of what project <br />youÓre thinking of was treated differently -. <br />KUBOTA:Well, -. <br />YUEN:I could discuss that. I think I tried to give an example of the most <br />recent one that involved a concurrent processing, which would be the Pepeekeo rezoning, <br />quite a small-scale rezoning. <br />KUBOTA:I canÓt think of one immediately. But, you know, in the years that <br />IÓve been processing these applications, I find that these applicants come up with ideas <br />that they want to develop on their property and, yet, it may or may not be the final <br />product; and, yet, we do process the SMAs concurrently. And we have no guarantee <br />from the applicants that it shall be as they submitted to us. And it may change at the <br />Council level; and if it does, and the SMA needs to be changed, well, so be it. So, you <br />know, I just canÓt, I just canÓt see the big deal in this one versus any other applications <br />that come in. And IÓm really not convinced that these are the reasons as printed here that <br />are the foundation for your recommendation for deferral. I may have to listen to more <br />and I acquiesce at this point to what youÓre saying. But IÓm still not fully convinced that <br />the reasons are valid enough to ask for a deferment at this point. <br />FUJIKAWA:Is there any other question? <br />5 <br /> <br />
