In the approval of the subdivision by the Planning Department, in the year 2002, the
<br />approval consisted of not 98 lots but it consisted of 102 lots, four additional lots; and let
<br />me explain where these four additional lots were, are. One of these lots was specifically
<br />satisfied for a historic preservation area. Another one was for the proposed park site.
<br />Another site was for the proposed land that was going to be dedicated to the Kahakai
<br />School. And the fourth one, after they reconfigured everything, they had a balance and
<br />that was the 104 lots, which is the subject parcel.
<br />If you look at the location of that subject parcel, as it relates, you know, which is found in
<br />Exhibit D, they have identified where the subject parcel is. And if you look at Exhibit C,
<br />that was an area that was originally planned for some sort of a residential development.
<br />So thatÓs the area weÓre talking about.
<br />So when the Planning Department had approved the 104 lots, which included this
<br />particular, you know, the subject lot, there was a question then of how can that lot be
<br />used. I have before me like a sales brochure which, unfortunately, I did not make copies
<br />for all of the Commission. But the subject area is designated, the subject area is, you
<br />know, reflects all of the proposed 98, not proposed but all of the 98 residential lots. In
<br />addition to that, it also shows the historic preservation area, the Kahakai School
<br />expansion area, the park and, more critically, the subject area. The subject area is
<br />identified as undeveloped land, not open space, not park; but itÓs just called undeveloped
<br />land. So that, again, you know, provides some frame work in terms of the project and the
<br />subject area.
<br />I realize that there are questions and, you know, by the people who bought into the, you
<br />know, in the Kahakai Estates Subdivision, what was represented was not represented so
<br />on and so forth, and IÓll kind of like let their testimony speak, you know, speak to that.
<br />But I think the first question I think that I have, you know, in behalf of the Applicant is to
<br />find out that, I guess, from the Department, if you have the subject parcel, which is
<br />presently zoned RS-10, can a person today construct a single-family dwelling on the
<br />property? I mean, like, thatÓs -. If, for example, like the SCD Kahakai does not own this
<br />property but instead sold it to Mr. and Mrs. XYZ, you know, and that Mr. and Mrs. XYZ
<br />would come in, could that person come in for a building permit for a residential dwelling
<br />on that parcel?
<br />GALDONES:Mr. Fuke, itÓs the question youÓre raising?
<br />FUKE:ItÓs a question that IÓm raising, I guess, of the Director or the
<br />Department.
<br />GALDONES:Mr. Yuen?
<br />YUEN:This is one un-subdivided lot, right now, right?
<br />FUKE:ThatÓs correct.
