WOODWARD: Any other questions? <br />BOWMAN: I have a question -. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Bowman. <br />BOWMAN: A concern, I guess; and I concur I think with -. This is precedent setting <br />as far as rezoning in this area. And I know that the Department Transportation, you know, to <br />quote them, “We have observed a trend in this piecemeal or ‘spot’ type of zoning change and <br />land use boundary amendment applications in various areas in the county,” etc. etc. and just, you <br />know, what the “cumulative impacts” would be. So that would be my concern for this. <br />The other thing is that there is in your background that it would be more lots available near <br />schools. Now I know there is a school presently at Nani Mau Gardens, is that correct, the <br />Connections High School? <br />NISHIMURA: I’m not sure. <br />BOWMAN: I believe that they’re housed there. So I was wondering when you mean <br />near schools and central commercial areas if you were referring to that or -? <br />NISHIMURA: No. I was referring to the public schools which would be, the closest <br />public school would be Waiakea Waena Elementary School. <br />BOWMAN: Connections is a public charter school. So, just, I don’t know what their <br />enrollment is. Okay, thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I can remember correctly the minutes from the <br />previous meeting, I think the nearing property owners, one concern was the size, you know, the <br />.5 acre; and I think they mentioned, you know, the consideration of a one acre. Has that been a <br />consideration for your applicant instead of a .5 or 1 acre instead? <br />NISHIMURA: Well, one of the things that went into their consideration was that there <br />was a previous .5 acre zoning that was allowed on Awa Street recently and they felt that that <br />being the case this request would be similar and would be appropriate. <br />ALAMEDA: So that’s the precedent setting that I think Commissioner Bowman had <br />mentioned. Okay. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Housel. <br />HOUSEL: I had a question. The adjacent properties, which ones are being actively <br />farmed currently? <br />5 <br /> <br />
