Pepeekeo Filipino Association <br /> P. O. Box 174 <br /> Pepeekeo, Hawaii 96783 <br /> RE: Bill Nos. 355 & 356 <br /> Application for Rezoning by Continental Pacific, LLC <br /> Aloha Chairman Safarik and Members of the Council, <br /> On behalf of the members of the Pepeekeo Filipino Association, I am submitting <br /> testimony in support of the Bills Nos. 355 and 356. At our February 13, 2005 general <br /> membership meeting, our members again validated the organization's initial support of <br /> Continental Pacific, LLC's request for rezoning noted in the bills. <br /> Members of the PFA have been involved in numerous community meetings over the past <br /> 4 years where discussions on various concerns relating to Continental Pacific, LLC's <br /> presence and impact in the community were heard and discussed. We have also had <br /> discussions among our own members and have, on several occasions, agreed on <br /> supporting the rezoning applications. <br /> Many of our members are seniors who can still remember the time of their lives when <br /> they lived and worked in the Pepeekeo sugar plantation camps. We realize that with <br /> time, comes change...the camps and sugaz industry are no longer. In our lifetime, we <br /> have lived through change and have seen the face of their community transform and <br /> conform to its present state. We have been and are wise to be involved in these changes <br /> through our participation, discussion and guidance in the direction of these changes. <br /> We ask for your support and approval of Bills 355 and 356, and join us as we guide the <br /> direction of change in our community. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity to submit our supportive testimony. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Rosita Cabatu <br /> <br /> President <br /> Comm.
