YUEN:Okay. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Springer. <br />SPRINGER:I was just going to ask if the NRCS frowns upon the County making <br />conditions that require the conservation plans, could that be something that the applicant could <br />take up in a similar way that they can provide restrictive covenants? <br />YUEN:Yeah, they can do it. I think I have a way around that. <br />ALAMEDA:Any other questions for applicant€s representative before we entertain a <br />motion? Fellow Commissioners, anybody has any further comments or questions, or perhaps -? <br />WATANABE:Well, I€d like to hear the wording that the Director has worked up for <br />someoftheseconditions. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. <br />YUEN:Well,thedrainageonewouldbeTheapplicantshallestablishdrainage <br />easements and maintain drainageways so as to direct water in a northerly direction away from <br />Kulana Kea Road. The drainage easement shall follow the existing plantation system unless <br />otherwise established by a conservation plan approved by the Soil and Water Conservation <br />District.‚ <br />I€m not a 100 percent sure but I think the NRCS provides the technical advice and the Soil and <br />Water Conservation District is the actual approving entity to the plan. Jeff? <br />MCCALL:Yeah, that€s correct. I sat on the Kau SWC before, yes, that€s correct. <br />And maybe -. <br />YUEN:Okay. And then it goes on to say The applicant, its successors and <br />assigns shall maintain the drainage easements. The drainage easements shall be included in any <br />preliminary subdivision map.‚ So at the time of coming forward with a subdivision map, the <br />subdivision map would have to show the drainage easements; and then they could be looked at <br />by Public Works when they review the map. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Mr. McCall? <br />MCCALL:Yeah, maybe just as a final comment and to make sure that people <br />understand. If somebody comes to Public Works looking for, you know, help with a two-acre, <br />five-acre, ten-acre parcel, Public Works refers them to NRCS and the Soil and Water <br />Conservation Districts. And the Soil and Water Conservation Districts are funded, a small <br />portion, but they are funded by the counties. The counties supply, I believe it€s about, well, <br />enough, I think it€s about $200,000 a year is given to the seven districts on this island to help <br />with implementing conservation plans. So we shouldn€t feel too guilty about burdening the <br />conservation districts. <br />SIRACUSA:Isn€t this a USDA funded -? <br />26EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
