If y~~u look at the sales <br /> over the past two years, you will find that at least 35 lots have been Sold for <br /> loss than $2000, and many sold for less than $1200. It is unconscionable to <br /> tax such lots at an annual rate of $100., while taxing; other properties at one <br /> percent. I do not believe this bill will withstand a constitutional challenga:. <br /> The roads are privately maintained, power and phone service do not servo all <br /> lots and the governor recently took $1,500,000 that was earmarked for a well <br /> in HOVE and spent it on Oahu, committing us to catchment water fur Lhc <br /> foreseeable future. <br /> I own several lots in this subdivision and will certainly explore a lawsuit if <br /> this bill is enacted. <br /> Most sincerely, <br /> Bob and Patti De Bauer <br /> F'. 0. 13ox 1133 <br /> Captain Cook, I'lawaii 96704 <br /> Phone: 328-2142 <br /> ~ . <br /> gg _y <br /> f. <br /> <br />
