YUEN: Yes, and Mr. Hayashi just gave me a draft of one of, an LUC condition <br />that was put on a recent LUC reclassification; and that basically said that “The applicant shall <br />notify all prospective purchasers of the proposed lots that farming operations and practices on <br />adjacent or continuous land in the State Land Use District are protected under HRS, Chapter 165, <br />the Hawaii Right to Farm Act. This notice shall be included in any disclosure required for the <br />sale or transfer of all or any portion of the proposed lots.” So that is a condition that the LUC <br />has put in. <br />HOUSEL: Good, good. That answers my question. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA: The problem with that requirement is it only applies to the applicant. <br />Once the lots are sold and you have individual owners and they start selling, then that, I heard <br />that condition wouldn’t apply to the subsequent owners. So, and to me the reality is that, you <br />know, even today when we get Kona winds I smell Kulana Foods; and I know there’s nothing I <br />can do about it. But, you know, what we’re being asked to do is to allow basically a mixed use <br />at this point on the claim of the Low Density Urban designation. Right? And to me that’s not <br />enough. And really the bigger concern is is this really, you know, given the fact that we’re going <br />to do sometime hopefully soon do community development planning for this area and in that <br />process, you know, get the community involved and really let them decide how this is going to <br />go down -- whether it’s really going to remain Low Density Urban or if they’re going to push to <br />get it back to ag -- let the community decide that and what is best for our community. This is, <br />you know, it really enhances to me the fact that what we’re being asked to do is what the <br />Department of Transportation says, on a piece-meal basis. Right? One by one we’re going to <br />get basically this Urban creep; and, frankly, I don’t like creeps. <br />WOODWARD: Any further comments? All right, I guess we’re ready for a vote. Maija. <br />COTTLE: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Commissioner Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA: Yes. <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Alameda? <br />ALAMEDA: Yes. <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Bowman? <br />BOWMAN: Yes. <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Domingo? <br />DOMINGO: No. <br />COTTLE: Commissioner Housel? <br />20 <br /> <br />
