CARDOZA:Macadamia nut and cattle. <br />SALAVEA:Okay, thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Yeah, I€ve got a question for the Director. This is with regard to <br />Condition F, which is kind of typical when we€re discussing all development generated runoff <br />shall be disposed of on site. And we just heard testimony that he€s experiencing some problem. <br />Am I right in assuming that possibly this development might actually help him in the runoff <br />area? Would it require some sculpting of the land to more effectively, you know, deal with the <br />runoff? <br />YUEN:Itwouldn€trequireit.That€sastandardconditionanditjustrequiresthat <br />the developer take care of increased runoff that€s caused by their own development activity. <br />Mostly in this case it would be based on the subdivision itself. So, for example, if there was a <br />subdivision, internal subdivision road that causes runoff, there would typically be a drywell to <br />take that. <br />This subdivision is, if it€s laid out the way it€s planned to be laid out, it€s not going to, there€s not <br />going to be any special drainage improvements required because there isn€t anything, there€s <br />nothing in the subdivision itself. <br />WATANABE:Okay, thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Other questions for Mr. Kim or the Director? Mr. Kim, I have a question <br />for you. If you could just maybe summarize for me kind of how this particular application will, <br />real candidly, will affect you, or your property, or your quality of life? <br />KIM:I don€t see how just the subdivision itself will affect my quality of life, <br />other than like I said the increased traffic and problems like that. But unless they specifically <br />address the drainage issue which, like I said, that huge area that€s 25 plus acres that drain directly <br />above me, if they don€t maintain those swales and those ditches, it causes a huge problem. And I <br />don€t see any wording in here that they have to maintain this and, also, when they create their <br />houses and their driveways that they maintain it or even improve on the drainage issues there. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. <br />YUEN:Can I ask -? <br />ALAMEDA:Mr. Director. <br />YUEN:Can I ask you to show what you€re talking about on the map? Are there <br />old plantation period drainage features going across this property? <br />KIM:Okay, for those of you who are not familiar, this is pretty much, up until <br />right here is a completely flat area, and then it slopes off drastically right here.
