VITOUSEK: Thank you very much, next up, we have Shane Nobriga. NOBRIGA: Thanks, Commissioner. My name is Shane Nobriga. I am the golf course Superintendent for Waikoloa Beach Resort. I'm a strong supporter of the Kumu Hou project. I'm very excited to hear the project plans of building workforce affordable rental housing for the kamalina. For the past twenty-two (22) years I've been commuting to Waikoloa Beach Resort from the Puna district and also Laupahoehoe. Many of the better paying jobs are on the west side of the island, so many of us make that long drive. We drive from a total of 2 hours to a four (4) hour round trip. This daily distance travel is very taxing on my body and my vehicles and the long dark driving sometimes in bad weather could be dangerous. But this is a typical week for all of us that make this commute. I find myself barely keeping up with home chores and often falling asleep during our family time. Fortunately, I had no luck finding reasonable paying work on the east side of the island. For this reason, I'm a firm supporter of this project knowing there will be opportunity for people like me to live moments from work. Doing so creates healthier family relationships in decreasing the physical and financial strain from driving across the island to get to work as many people still do today. Thank you so much for considering in allowing this project to help provide a better quality of life for the working community. Mahalo for your time. VITOUSEK: Thank you very much we appreciate it. Next up is Stephanie Donoho. DONOHO: Aloha Commissioners, first, I just want to say thank you all for your service and I'm Stephanie Donoho and I'm with the Kohala Coast Resort Association(KCRA). Prior to my tenure with KCRA I worked for the County of Hawai`i and the Department of Research and Development. So, I want to thank the staff members from the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel, who are on. But also have served as a Volunteer Commission Member for the Real Property Tax Working Group, so I understand the time and commitment that you're putting forward in this. And I just want to thank all of you for taking the time to thoroughly review and vet these discussion items for our community it's so important. You have my written testimony, and I will try not to be duplicative in what I'm saying, but I want to share with you this is the first time that the Kohala Coast Resort Association is commenting on a project that is taking place within our resorts. We don't typically try to weigh in on those projects we like to give the community their opportunity to weigh in. But I have to say, the affordable housing component of this Kumu Hou Project at Waikoloa Land Company. This is the first time I have seen a resort development offer affordable housing rental units within the footprint of the resort, and it goes above and beyond their commitment for their development. This is in addition to the commitment for their development, this is no less than an additional hundred and forty-two (142) rental units for kama`aina. I'd like to clear up a myth, I've seen some commentary in social media and public media that this is just building for people who work within the resorts. There is no priority given to people who work within the resorts, this is a kama`aina housing projects, so it may be that there are schoolteachers who are living in these houses, because it's based on income levels. So, I just want to be clear that it is not a self-serving thing. It is looking at private industries stepping up 4 EXHIBIT B
