Two reasons are behind this trend of rapid growth and settle- ment patterns. The local families the people who work this land and made it what it is. The teachers,farmers,firemen,resort workers retired plantation workers, construction workers. These peoples' families grow up and have families of their own and want a place they can call home. Then you have the malhini. Most come with deep pockets. Some appear sensitive to the fact they are newcomers, many are not so sensitive to this fact. All this demand has changed the littoral landscape of this island faster in the last 5 years than any time I can remember. The vast majority of the West side is being bought up by non- locals. The bulk of the home site= on the vedant East side are owned by the local populations and many of these people drive that corridor through Waimea, going right by my farm on their way to a job at one of the resorts with great benefits. Then back home on the East side where many tend their gardens in their back yards, or a flock of birds, or maybe a horse or two. A great many I sress many people I know would like a few acres, 1-3 is what I here people want.I had a real estate license 10 years ago, and I re-stress here, htis is what the local people want, to move up to a couple acres, with a bit of elbow room. And if they were to build an ohana unit it would still allow the rain somewhere to go, People want enough to open up possibilities,a small plant nursery, a dog boarding kennel, a B&B with extensive flower gar- dens, maybe aquaculture, or a small lumber mill. Please consider this small, yet progressive rezoning I put befor you. I look £oward to meeting with you and discussing land issues re- gaurding my neiborhood and the adjoining rural area where I have lived the last 22 years. Mahalo, Christopher Raymond
