subdivisions that were for a public purpose, which would be things like fire stations, parks, <br />police stations and other kinds of public facilities. <br />This is our first reading on this, and we would not expect action by the Commission; we can <br />discuss and answer questions. We would ask the Commission to take action at the next -. <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Woodward? <br />WOODWARD: I have no problem with the bill; I just have a grammatical correction on <br />the first page of the ordinance itself. Under Section 23-11, it says, “shall not be applicable to <br />….” and then, “, or ….” It should be “nor” to make more sense; “not be applicable to public <br />utility or public rights-of-way subdivisions and their remnant parcels, nor to subdivisions ….” <br />Small point but -. <br />WATANABE: Any other comments? Mr. Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA: This is a good clarification of the law, or it might be an extension the way <br />I’m reading it. And I’d like to again commend the Director for initiating this as one of his final <br />acts. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Any further comments? Mr. Housel? <br />HOUSEL: I had one question. You know, the term “public use” here is fairly broad. <br />Does that include, say, public transitional housing? <br />YUEN: It could conceivably include something like that. The definition of “public <br />use” that’s shown is taken from the Zoning Code currently; because there is no definition of <br />“public use” in the Subdivision Code, it’s had to be put in there. It would have to be run by, or <br />operated by the government. But I should mention that something like transitional housing, there <br />are overall housing powers where when the government wants to do something like that, they <br />can get wavers of it. So housing, there typically are ways to do it. And in fact, the project that <br />the County is planning to do in Kaloko Industrial Area went through a waver process. So <br />there’re ways for housing to get these kinds of wavers without this provision in the bill here. <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Domingo? <br />DOMINGO: Siting of a solid waste transfer station does not apply in this case? <br />YUEN: This doesn’t change what you have to go through to site the transfer <br />station. Typically, that needs, you have an EA process, and then if you are going into the Ag <br />district, public facilities that are other than those necessary for agriculture also need special <br />permits. So typically, for example, if you are going to do a transfer station in the State Land Use <br />Ag district, you still need a special permit; you’ll still need a special permit, if this bill goes <br />through. What it does change is that it makes it simpler to do a subdivision of the lot that you are <br />acquiring, perhaps out of a larger piece of property, in order to do the transfer station. <br />EXHIBIT F <br />2 <br /> <br />
