But I think if you look down the road, you know, long-term, which is what we’re
<br />supposed to do, which is what the General Plan is supposed to provide some guidance on,
<br />I think the comments of the Director indicated, you know, basically, make it rather
<br />pointedly that, you know, we really don’t have any control over this. And as the
<br />Commissioners know, you know, my view is that if we keep going down this road and,
<br />you know, Big Island Candies is, so if you look at that map, you know, for me it’s a
<br />perfect example of spot zoning. How the heck did Big Island Candies get placed in the
<br />middle of a residential area? And now it’s being used as basically partial justification for
<br />all of the rezoning applications that come in in the House Lots area. And, you know, it is
<br />troublesome to me that, you know, this process that we’re going through allows
<br />essentially the development of a strip mall. And I’d like to hear from someone to tell me
<br />that that’s not what’s going to happen -- You know, take Kekuanaoa Street, we’re going
<br />to be basically looking at Dillingham Boulevard/Nimitz Highway kind of development in
<br />20, 30 years, you know, down the road if we just keep doing these commercial zoning
<br />approvals as the Director is suggesting, you know, this is how it’s going to go. And, you
<br />know, keeping customer circulation parking within a certain area, that’s all fine and
<br />dandy. But the picture of Kekuanaoa Street being another, you know, Dillingham
<br />Boulevard or that kind of a scenario to me is not an ideal picture and one that we can
<br />avoid if we don’t approve this, and if we really press again to have the Community
<br />Development Plan done in a way so that the Houselot community can get together and
<br />say, you know, this is really how it should be done, and how we want it done, and how
<br />should look in 20, 30, 40, 50 years.
<br />ALAMEDA: Thank you, Commissioner Iwashita. Point well taken.
<br />Commissioner Watanabe, would you like to comment?
<br />WATANABE: Yeah, I’ve got a question for Mr. Lim. Do you believe the
<br />applicant would have any objections to the limitation to two lots on this one?
<br />LIM: I’ve checked with the applicant and they’re agreeable to the
<br />limitation to keeping the two lots, so long as we can have the ability to consolidate and
<br />resubdivide those two lots and move the lines back and forth.
<br />WATANABE: Exactly, and still have the easement, the cross easement, right?
<br />LIM: Correct, that’s correct.
<br />ALAMEDA: Commissioner Watanabe, follow-up?
<br />WATANABE: So, Mr. Director, do you believe that would, for the most part,
<br />resolve this issue, yeah? Cause I kind of agree, I don’t think I’d want to see three entries
<br />onto Kekuanaoa on this, you know, this limited stretch. But I think that the cross-
<br />easements and the limitation to subdivide it into two lots would resolve that issue, for the
<br />most part, right?
