designating something else, because the area, surrounding area has a lot of single-family homes, <br />might have actually resulted in a different evaluation. Is that possible, or am I just off-base? <br /> <br />KAY: Well, we have to look at the application based on their representations made in the <br />application --. <br /> <br />CHURCH: I understand, thank you. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Chris, I just wanted to have a little bit of more conversation on the reference to the <br />Kona CDP. Importing from it you have mentioned “consistent in scale with the transfer of lots.” <br />Can you just add to that? What is “consistent in scale?” What -? <br /> <br />KAY: You know, I don’t know the answer, I’m not sure what the intent of the particular language <br />was. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Is it scale in accordance with surrounding properties? Is it scale to a number of family <br />members? What is the scale? <br /> <br />KAY: I’m not sure. Do you have stuff on that, Jeff? <br /> <br />DARROW: It appears the intent was to allow further subdivisions specifically for family members. <br />So it has to have to do with the particular concept. It’s just difficult because, again, dealing with <br />what Commissioner Church is saying, if the applicants would have come in and said we are <br />subdividing to do commercial agriculture; most people don’t come in to create smaller lots to do <br />commercial agriculture. It’s clear the intent here is to create a smaller lot to have a house for an <br />additional family member. So it’s just how we look at the overall picture. And, again, setting a <br />precedent here, it’s not just in the current subdivision, it’s going to affect the entire area. And by <br />allowing one-acre lots in this area could create some pretty high density in an area that’s lacking in <br />infrastructure in this area; not only just with water but also the roadways are tough in this Hōlualoa <br />area, mauka area. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Any further comments or discussions with staff, Commissioners? I’d like to call the <br />applicant up, with that. Thank you, Christian. <br /> <br />C. LIPPS: Good morning. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Good morning. I’ll have to swear you in before we proceed, so if you both could just <br />raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the <br />Leeward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />APPLICANT: Yes. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Thank you. So if you both could just introduce yourself, and speak into the mike for <br />recording purposes. <br /> <br />C. LIPPS: I’m Charles Lipps, and my wife -. <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
