KIM:Okay, what -. SIRACUSA:Yeah, could you clarify that? KIM:What I said was that five-acre lots that are zoned RS-15, if they would just leave this 25-acre lot alone and then subdivide that, you know, the 1.3 acres into those five lots, thats not nearly as desirable as what hes trying to do now. So leave it like it is. I mean say, save the two lots of it then as Ag. If you want to try and sell it because of this so-called mistake that originally put this RS-15 zoning into this prime Ag lots, you know, then so be it. SIRACUSA:Maybe Im not understanding you correctly or something somewhere along the line here -. Its my understanding that the part thats RS-15 now is, thats going to be, were going to cancel that, and back to what the whole thing is, you know, and then divide up intofive-acrelots.AndthatwouldincludewhatwaspreviouslytheRS-15sothatyouwouldnt have any RS-15 on -? KIM:Yes, thats correct. But what Im saying now, as its zoned RS-15 right now, that little sliver there, I mean, I cant see anybody wanting to purchase those. Its that mistake so-called, that let that in there, its just that. I mean, its just a, you know -. SIRACUSA:Im saying it wouldnt be there any more. Its a sliver -. KIM:Yeah, but what Im saying is now that mistake is whats enabling that other five lots to be expanded on out of that 25-acre spot. Because if it -. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Well, I dont understand how its enabling. Im confused here. KIM:Because what theyre saying is theyre saying, oh, were already zoned for 5 lots in this overall big picture. And now, you know, will it, you downgrade this tiny little sliver which is on, you know, it doesnt mean much cause like all it is, its that tiny little sliver along the side of the road. And we want to, you know, rezone this bigger lot which is the prime Ag zone lot there anyway. So youre getting the same number of lots but now all of a sudden it becomes hugely desirable because now you have five 5-acre lots with basically absolutely no infrastructure improvements at all. They dont address the drainage issue that is directly above me that has already caused me problems in the past. SIRACUSA:Could I ask you what your annual rainfall is? KIM:A hundred and twenty six inches a year, thats just for the City of Hilo. ALAMEDA:Fellow Commissioners, questions? Commissioner Salavea. SALAVEA:Mr. Kim, if you could, between either you and Mr. Cardoza or, Im sorry, all three of you out there, maybe describe to us the uses of the land directly adjacent on the Kulana Kea Road. I want to get a feel for what, you know -? 17EXHIBIT D
