I am writing to firmly object to the categorization of all our property as"Open".
Per the CDP minutes,there seems to be a miss-placed concern: "clearly articulate the desire to protect this parcel from
future development". There is no plan, desire or economic/justification for its"future development" now,or for the
next 75-100 years.
Our property has always been(75+yrs.)AG, Residential,and Conservation. More recently, (26 yrs.),it has been
maintained with 6.2 acres of a macadamia nut orchard,for the AG portion. It is located parallel to the Hi-Way, between
the Home,Conservation and Ocean Cliffs areas. This is very similar to the two AG portions of the two properties cited
above. Why should my congruent property be designated differently?
I am requesting that consistent decision logic, precedence,and reasonableness be employed and the orchard portion of
our property be designated"Agriculture", in the Plan. I have maintained it as AG for 22+years and will do so into the
distant future. Its usage is consistent with the State's Agriculture Goals, Plans and Objectives.
Designation of the orchard as AG would be consistent with similar near—by,ocean-front,CDP draft parcels. More
importantly, it would reflect reality,support community goals and do the"Right Thing".
Please advise me of the Committee's Decision.
Respectfully,
James R.Weldon
