<br /> of County-required roads that you would, and that you would have to in, and did a normal <br /> <br /> subdivision, without having to do the flood and drainage studies that you would have to <br /> <br /> do in a normal subdivision if you went through the County Code. They want to recreate <br /> <br /> the substandard subdivisions of the past by avoiding the County Subdivision Ordinance <br /> <br /> by using these lots. <br /> The only reason they will give you <br /> PUBLIC: You need more chairs. Thank you. <br /> YUEN: The only reason they will give you for being able to do this is that <br /> in 1995 the County allowed the Hamakua Housing Corporation to take over plantation <br /> camps that were in existence, where people were actually living in those plantation <br /> camps, and sell those plantation camp houses to the workers who were, of Hamakua <br /> Sugar, who were out of a job, the retirees, people who have been living in those camps <br /> for a long period of time. That is totally different from what they are planning to do, <br /> again, recognizing plantation camps that existed a long time ago. What they're trying to <br /> do is exploit what the County did to try to help people in Hamakua for their own gain to <br /> make millions of dollars that has no relation to what happened, and no relation to the <br /> reasons for what happened in 1995. <br /> They can make a good subdivision within the rules. They, in fact, can make 400 lots <br /> mauka of the highway within the present zoning and following the Subdivision Code. <br /> They make over a 100 lots makai of the highway within the present regulations and <br /> following the Subdivision Code. What they want to do is avoid the law and avoid the <br /> Subdivision Code. <br /> We're going to ask you not to let them use these plantation lots that were abandoned 20 <br /> years ago or more as the basis for doing this subdivision now. <br /> FOX: Thank you, Mr. Yuen. Mr. Ishado, do you have anything else you <br /> want to <br /> ISHADO: No. Thank you. <br /> FOX: Please go ahead. <br /> HIATT: Well, I appreciate Mr. Yuen's, [appreciate Mr. Yuen's views. And <br /> I would respond, but I think the best response is, basically, that I give you the facts as we <br /> understand them. Is this on? <br /> NAKANO: Yes. <br /> 5 <br /> <br />
