maybe another alternative would be to build a home in the back. And so if they build a home in <br />the back as the discourse between the Director and the staff had indicated, you know, there’s <br />some, it becomes kind of like setback complications, the use complications, and all that stuff. So <br />essentially all they wanted to do is just clean it up so that it makes it a little bit easier for them at <br />some point in time to either expand that existing dwelling or possibly more than likely construct <br />the second dwelling, that second dwelling being in the back. <br /> <br />Mr. Santo and his wife, they acquired the one-acre portion in 1990 and, you know, as a surveyor <br />I guess like he was responsible in doing some of the survey work on the properties in the back. <br />And, I guess, you know, he thought that it was a very good opportunity for him to also extend or <br />increase the size of his lot. Because as the Director pointed out, if you look at many of the lots in <br />that area there, one is like about 13,000 or 14,000 while most of the other lots in that area like <br />about 18,000 to 20,000 square feet. And so the properties in the back, aside from his property, is <br />zoned Ag-1. And there was a developer that was at one point in time interested in doing a <br />massive one-acre lot subdivision. Whether that subdivision application is still pending or not, <br />I’m not aware of. And that’s the reason why they had shown that road alignment. Then that <br />property actually extends from Akolea Road going all the way down to Ainako Avenue. <br /> <br />So, essentially, in a nut shell, you know, that’s what the applicant is requesting. And I’ve <br />discussed the proposed conditions as amended by the staff this morning, you know, with the <br />applicant and his family members, and they’re very appreciative of the proposed changes. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Any questions for the applicant’s representative? <br /> <br />ONO: This is just a layman’s question. But is it possible that the present owner could use his <br />existing property and make a driveway like thing to go further in the back to build the second <br />home, if we don’t approve this thing? <br /> <br />FUKE: Yeah, at this point in time, if they’re going to build a second dwelling they will probably <br />utilize the existing driveway because, you know, you see that road stub, you know, it is <br />nonexistent right now. So -. <br /> <br />ONO: I was just wondering if in the future plan that the County was going to build that road. So <br />it will be a long, long time. <br /> <br />FUKE: I doubt very much if the County is going to build the road. If anything, it is going to be <br />the obligation of the developer of that larger subdivision. So if and when that happens then it is <br />possible that if Mr. Santo elects to subdivide his property then he'd be able to get access from <br />that road. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay, any further questions? Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />FUKE: Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Mr. Fuke, for clarification, Mr. Santo does not own the parcel where we’re <br />looking at a future road? <br /> <br /> 6 EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
