For nearly three years now we <br /> have been developing an organic farm in conjunction with the NRCS. Over a thousand trees <br /> have been planted, thirty producing raised beds are in operation and a large greenhouse is <br /> under construction. I am committed to responsible, sustainable agriculture and intend to <br /> relocate within 7 years, relocating my family to the Island permanently to practice head <br /> and neck surgery (ENT). <br /> I have no particular view on the proposed subdivision as I am not fully aware of all the <br /> local circumstances that surround it. <br /> However I want to ensure that you are aware of my communication with Mr. <br /> Wheelock whom, I understand, represents the owner. <br /> Mr. Wheelock approached me some time ago seeking my approval for a possible utility <br /> .easement across my property from the Mamalahoa Highway. I advised him that I would need to <br /> retain legal council to research the proposal if he <br /> decided to utilize a route traversing our farm, but that I had no objection <br /> to the concept if it was mutually beneficial. Mr. Wheelock also inquired about access <br /> across my property to the highway &#8220;for emergency situations&#8221;. As a Medical <br /> Practitioner I would not stand in the way of <br /> true emergency access but again, I would need to seek legal council and perform due <br /> diligence if he decided such access was indeed necessary. Formal <br /> <br /> negotiations never occurred and no agreements were ever formalized. <br /> Furthermore, my neighbors have advised me that even if Mr. Wheelock had access across our <br /> farm, they would not support his use of our mutually owned <br /> road to the highway. (I can not, and have not granted access across the community road.) <br /> 1 Comm. Cr. <br /> Ref. To. 6 <br /> Ref. Date <br />
