Since the application has been submitted to the Planning Commission we have received one <br />comment letter from the Department of Health, which has been distributed to the applicant, I mean <br />to the Commission, as well as to the applicant. <br /> <br />The applicant originally requested within their Change of Zone application to be able to have a <br />second dwelling on each lot, if approved. Our standard procedure is normally we put in a <br />condition that restricts a second dwelling whether it be an ‘ohana or an additional farm dwelling <br />on each newly rezoned lot. That’s just been our standard condition, and the reason why we do that <br />is because the process that we are doing at this time is increasing density in itself. To be able to <br />further allow additional dwellings on the property would just further increase density in the area. <br />In looking at this particular application and in speaking with staff, this, depending on the Leeward <br />Planning Commission, the Planning Commission staff can make an adjustment on this by making <br />sure that, if the Commission is amenable to the change, that any additional dwelling that’s created <br />on the lot be able to be connected to County water, because that’s one of our key issues; a lot of <br />times these second dwellings are approved through a variance to be allowed through catchment or <br />whatever the means. But in this case if something in that line were approved, we could be <br />amenable to that along with the Commission. One of the other considerations that we would put <br />in is that no variance would be granted to allow for a variation from the water requirements in the <br />Subdivision Code. <br /> <br />With that, that concludes our presentation. Are there any questions? <br /> <br />UNGER: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions for Mr. Darrow? <br /> <br />CARR SMITH: Yes. <br /> <br />UNGER: Commissioner Carr Smith? <br /> <br />CARR SMITH: Are there two water meters or one currently? <br /> <br />DARROW: Currently, both, both dwellings are connected to meters, so — <br /> <br />CARR SMITH: Separate meters. <br /> <br />DARROW: Yes, separate meters. There was one concern from the Water Department and that is <br />that the meter be located in front of each respective lot once it’s subdivided. And so that’s a <br />condition that’s been added within the conditions. <br /> <br />CARR SMITH: One more thing. I thought that I had read in here that one of the conditions was <br />to not allow further additional structures. <br /> <br />DARROW: Correct. So that would be the condition that, if the Leeward Planning Commission <br />were amenable to the applicant’s request, we would remove Condition J and consider new <br />language regarding any second dwelling approved on a property would need to be connected to a <br />County water meter. And we can draft up language in regards to that. <br /> <br />CARR SMITH: Okay, thank you. <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
