We anticipate a very strong resistance <br /> from land owners and farmers to pay property tax on land that essentially becomes <br /> downzoned and unusable. <br /> We anticipate a reduction in property tax on properties that have, in effect, been <br /> downxoned, with the result that there will be less money available to the county for <br /> the infrastructure that is so desperately needed. <br /> Furthermore, it is our belief that the total impact of the proposed amendment <br /> requires further in depth scrutiny to establish the impact the amendment would <br /> have on the following industries: <br /> 1. farming <br /> 2. banking <br /> 3. architecture/engineering <br /> 4. construction <br /> 5. county workers <br /> 6. landscaping <br /> 7. building supply <br /> 8. shipping <br /> 9. equipment leasing <br /> We would like to see the focus on enforcement of existing laws regarding illegal <br /> grading, noncompliance with best management practices and irresponsible building <br /> within flood plains as the methodology of minimizing flood damage. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide this testimony <br /> ~ C~ <br /> HONOLULU OFFICE:1124 Fort Street Mall • Suite 204 • Honolulu, Hawaii 98813. 0 808-587-8020 C 808.398.4782 • e-mail: PeteCooper@cooperandcooper.biz <br /> <br />
