<br /> that most of the rest of the year. Virtually all of the ground on the place is <br /> <br /> receiving sunlight & water and converting it to food. <br /> And, oh, by the way, if you rent out an ohana on your place, as far as the tax <br /> assessor's office goes, none of the homesite is eligible for the $5.55 <br /> homeowner rate. I guess we can create mythical subdivisions for value <br /> assesment, but not for rate assesment. It is a home site for value, but not for <br /> rate?

An illegal to sell pseudo parcel is about as logical as saying that <br /> the parcel is valued as if it was oceanfront located. It is neither, and should <br /> be assessed for what it is, not what it isn't. It is X% of a larger lot with some <br /> particular value. <br /> Make sure we're protecting agriculture, including the fallow land, the place <br /> where the farmer &/or employees live, and the land where the produce gets <br /> processe~zd and stored. /7 _ . <br /> y~ 4.~?,e ~ j1.~4/ice Q{s, ~uv ~ AG°! fir" / ~I/(l /'"CC<~kin( r•Y~ L~n r(~~TT <br /> Thanks, and good luck with this one. ~ ~j; ` <br /> `u , <br /> r~ /~av'T"~ ~ ~?~S S7lr.c e 7 ~ <br /> + ~f, N/ art Y..~ W+ ~R ? <br /> r~7., /ni N < Y' C7"~ / ['~~tiC.1 ~ ,F r- ~t T ~r et Y <br /> r 2 <br /> 9/j/y <br /> <br />
