Christopher Yuen Page 1 April 30. 2004 action. [f any segment or phase of a project. however small, triggers HRS 3~t3. the whole project should undergo [he environmental review process. In ;m effort to avoid belaboring the segmentation point am further. I am requesting that you reconsider your conclusions. I would also like to call to }'our attention the specific triggers that require the environmental assessment under the Office of Envirottmental Qualitc Convol (OEQC) and hIRS 313. The specific triggers that apple to the Lot 6 application aze the following: 1. Use of state or county lands or hinds other than for feasibtiin- studies or the purchase of raw land (this also includes state or county' roads) 2. Development in an emirotunentalh• sensitive area Em ironmentath sensuiye arcas inehtde tood plains. n~tl;mds. beaches and roastal areas. uosiou-prone areas. eeoloeicalh b;tzardous land. critica habitat and estuaries. An abundance of public comments have been submitted to the County Council in opposition to the proposed subdivision. The opposition is not [o development the opposition is [o irresponsible development. We have the capability and the technology to manage our resotuces. protect our environment. provide adequate infrastructtve. and develop our commurtin -with everyone's interests in mind. It is my sincere request tlrat the Countp Council will refer this (SLU 03-007/REZ 03-017) application to the Land Use Commission for approval. Another possibilih is to defer the application until the appropriate OEQC environmental assessments are completed to address the Waiaha water system improvements project: the Hienaloli-Kahalui connector road development project: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Keopu-Hienaloli Feasibilih Studs and Flood Convol Project: and critical habitat preservation.
