<br /> Mayor's Office nor the Department of Water Supply can tell us when this issue will be resolved. <br /> We pay our water bill on time, but now are considering installing an expensive filtration system <br /> <br /> for our home. Will the County pay for our system? <br /> <br /> Requiring the developer to improve the system looks too much like a quid pro quo for the zone <br /> <br /> change. It is not good public policy. <br /> Lot Size <br /> <br /> Other pazcels of property between Hienaloli Road and Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway, makai of <br /> <br /> this property have been rezoned lower density. It seems like more dense development at the top <br /> <br /> only exacerbates traffic and other problems for the neighborhood.

To date her offers have been <br /> ignored and for the last several weeks bulldozers have been grading the property and destroying <br /> habitat. <br /> N'inancina <br /> The developer proposed tax increment bonds to pay for roads and water. Why should the <br /> County taxpayers be at risk for this project only to enhance developers' profits? Taxpayers <br /> would be on the hook for millions of dollars if this fails or the market goes soft. <br /> Most people testifying at your hearings have not opposed future residential use of this property. <br /> They just want it to be planned in public with sensitivity to the existing neighborhoods' quality <br /> of life. <br /> Until this is done, this rezoning application should not be approved. It deserves further public <br /> discussion, a full disclosure ofthe transportation and water infrastructure that is planned, the <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
