something and then you know who's to say. I mean there's always now going to be a thought if people are going to be taking you know money for or for these extensions because they've been caught in the past unfortunately. And I'm just really hoping that this island I really feel is losing its feel of aloha. We don't have the roads for so much development and to have a director to be able to say right away, yes, let's extend you without coming to the City Council is not okay. So, I definitely agree with that bill saying no, it's not okay for him to be able to do this because it actually helps the community feel especially like myself feel more protected that people aren't taking handouts because they can't have a yes right away. That's something I wanted to say for that one and there was another one on the agenda here and if it's been taken back then please let me know. So, there's the applicant Sunshine Holdings with regards to oh no, excuse me, applicant was unfinished business number 1, Dwayne Cravalho. It's 20 acres and then it says into a village, a Commercial Village. So, I think this goes back to my concern about the fact that you know this was Agricultural land and there are so many I have actually documented over 300 acres that are currently in application process. A lot of them was Agricultural land that's now going into wanting to become Commercial and the Big Island has a lot of vacant land. It has a lot of Agricultural land. But the thing is we don't have the roads for a lot of the commercial business that I'm seeing that these agricultural lands want to turn into. You know what I'm saying, like, don't have the roads, the traffic is already so bad and the parking in town like I'm just wanting that to be really a concern. And I just want to know that you all really are seeing what's happening to this island in a very fast way after Covid. After Covid its exploded. So, these applicants that are turning their Agricultural land to Commercial I just want you to be to really look at the roads and the traffic and how this island is changing. So,just to give more aloha for the fact that we do need affordable housing for locals, and we don't need really — VITOUSEK: We'd ask you to briefly summarize. MELENDEZ: —any more commercial. Okay. VITOUSEK: Thank you. MELENDEZ: Yeah, that's all that I got to say for that. Thank you. VITOUSEK: Mahalo for your testimony.
