VITOUSEK: Thank you. Are there any other Zoom testifiers? HATA: No, there are not. VITOUSEK: Okay, thank you. In-person testifiers we have Ken Van Bergen. VAN BERGEN: Good morning. VITOUSEK: Morning. VAN BERGEN: You need to swear me in, or no? VITOUSEK: I did already. VAN BERGEN: Oh, yeah. I'll just say I do. I do. VITOUSEK: Perfect. VAN BERGEN: Alright. Good morning, Chair, commissioners. I'm here in support of item one. You know, I'd first like to point out, everybody, all of you, myself, everybody in this room lives in a home, or condo, or land built by a developer or an owner builder that went through the planning process, subdivision process, and was constructed. And I just find it odd that seems like part of our community now think it's a crime to develop property. So, I support this project as first a local landowner. My parcel is two parcels away from Steve's. I think it's good infill. I think it fits the CDP perfectly. If you look at where the expansion line is, it's right in the middle of this property and to go from Ag-5 to Ag-1 zoning is not much of a stretch. You're not—one of the testifiers mentioned it should be more dense. Well, it can't be more dense because he only has 11 water units, and water is one of the biggest factors in developing in Kona now and will be for years to come as you all know probably better than most. So, so you're limited on what you can do based on water, and I think what Mr. Chen's trying to do with a 11-lot subdivision in that area fits the needs to develop more properties that can be sold and built, but also fits the CDP which I think is kind of the document to go to as you look to plan and move forward. So, for those reasons we're very supportive of the project. VITOUSEK: Thank you. Next is Mac McInnis. MCINNIS: I do. VITOUSEK: Perfect, thanks. 7 EXHIBIT F
