YUEN:There were supposed to be improvements made that would go, that would go along with subdividing the area across Kulana Kea Street thats zoned RS-15. Because, those have never happened because that area has never been subdivided. If somebody came in and wanted to do a subdivision of 15,000 square foot lots, which its zoned for, there are somethings that theyd have to do to make that subdivision happen. They couldnt just do on-site roads. There are some off-site things that are still supposed to happen. But, again, thats tied to that being subdivided. As long as its kept in one lot, that doesnt happen. CARDOZA:So what youre trying to say Chris that was the 15,000 square foot lots and they would have to require that road to be improved? YUEN:I dont know, I think Mr. Darrow is more upon the exact conditions on that; but there were some improvements that had to be made with that, including the bottom -. CARDOZA:Imean,Idontwanttotwiststoriesaround.Iownabout70acresupthere and if I was to do 5-acre lots, you know, then I could still use that road without any improvements. You know how many lots I can make with 70 acres and create a lot more traffic. So what Im trying to say is you crack it a little and sooner or later its going to happen. I know you cannot see behind the tunnel but we all here know thats whats going to happen. So all Im trying to do is just kind of speed you guys up to par because, you know, the first wheel is going to go forward, the first wheel going to take all the beating; and the second wheel going to ride smoother. And, you know, think of it, give it some thought because thats why theyre slipping the road aside, right, because were doing bigger lots; and if they did smaller lots would have to do a lot of improvements. Whats the difference whether it was a 5-acre lot or a 15,000 square foot lot? Its an improvement. Theyre cutting the lots now. When we bought it, that was it. There were no lots to be cut. Thats it, final. Right? Now theyre going for a change. The road is pushed aside, and the water, but maybe its coming forward. Probably more water than road because the road is just shave the bank, keep everybody happy, let the dust settle. But, anyway, you folks going to make the choice, were going to live with it. YUEN:Okay. ALAMEDA:Any other comments or questions for our testifier before we move on? SALAVEA:Mr. Cardoza -? ALAMEDA:Commissioner Salavea. SALAVEA:Do you have any recommendations for a solution? And the reason I ask that is because as the Planning Commission, we rely heavily on public input and testimony such as yours; and in that testimony we hope that we, or is included in that testimony possible solutions to help improve the situation only because we ourselves may not reside in the area. So you as being a local resident, understanding the unique circumstances that exist in the area, we would have to rely on you. And its really, we can do only so much in terms of creating conditions and trying to say, well, you know, if you want to subdivide the land then youre going to have to make some improvements and such. But we really dont have the first-hand knowledge to go ahead and make, I think, in my opinion, go ahead and make, create solutions that would be to everyones approval in that area. So do you have anything that you could -? 13EXHIBIT D
