I’m in agreement with all the different restrictions except for restriction J, which is the prohibition
<br />of an additional farmhouse dwelling. We were able to basically get their – I wonder if we can put
<br />back on the slide showing the, is that possible, the housing, the area that, the property?
<br />
<br />DARROW: Right there?
<br />
<br />IN: Yeah, that’s fine. So what you can see here is, this is my three-acre portion, this is the
<br />caretaker’s cottage, the three-stall barn. And this is their, they applied for an additional farmhouse
<br />dwelling and they built a couple years after I built – oh, I see, red button, oh, yeah \[A laser pointer
<br />was handed to Dr. In.\] – they built their additional farmhouse, and then this is a garage office.
<br />This is the half-acre riding arena. And it’s my intention to, you know, farm all this area here and
<br />build an additional probably a three-room, three-bedroom, or two-bedroom with an office, or a
<br />three-bedroom house, on this half-acre riding arena. It’s packed soil, well, cinder soil, and it’s
<br />really not suitable for farming, you know, unless I had, raise beds. But it’s perfect for a house site,
<br />and there is, you know, rooms for sewage system. Previous to this application I had hoped for
<br />creating a cottage neighborhood, and we put in an application for a PUD, and the neighbors didn’t
<br />like that. This changes, this zoning change really doesn’t change the nature of the property at all.
<br />It just gives, gets division from the CPR, does away with the CPR, and that’s our intention, and
<br />creates two separate entities, which hopefully would then allow me to apply for an additional
<br />farmhouse dwelling. So I’m asking for elimination of restriction J in the recommendation so that I
<br />could apply for an additional farmhouse dwelling that I would live in, and by being there it would
<br />be much, or feasible for me to, you know, take care of my property. The caretaker’s cottage is
<br />occupied, and has been occupied for a number of years, by a friend of mine for over 30 years now,
<br />who is an acupuncturist, and she takes care of my health. So she lives there and I really would not
<br />want to, you know, tell her to move because I want to live there. I would like to have the ability
<br />to, or her to continue to live there. It’s also, you know, I’m retiring, and really I’ll be looking at
<br />Social Security plus whatever I can generate from the farm, and so it’s important for me to be able
<br />to keep her on as a tenant there because that’s what I’ll be living on. So I ask for approval of this
<br />rezoning with the elimination of restriction J, which is the prohibition of additional farmhouse
<br />dwelling or ‘ohana. The County Code ordinances do allow for an additional farmhouse dwelling;
<br />that’s how the Inabas got their house, and I’d like to be able to have the similar ability to do so.
<br />So that’s my presentation. Thank you for your time. Any questions?
<br />
<br />UNGER: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions?
<br />
<br />SHIMAOKA: I just have one on, and maybe this is directed at County Planning, the conditions
<br />that you provided for the Inabas, do they apply here in this case when they did their additional
<br />dwelling? Regarding the CPR?
<br />
<br />DARROW: Correct. Any time that an applicant comes and submits an application for an
<br />additional farm dwelling, the same process will apply.
<br />
<br />SHIMAOKA: Okay. So could we say that Dr. In fits under the same conditions?
<br />
<br />DARROW: I’m sorry I missed that.
<br />
<br />SHIMAOKA: Dr. In, would he fit under the same conditions that you gave the Inabas?
