Although much time has been spent during <br /> the past weeks creating draft 4 this Bill is still a burden to the local individual kamaaina trying to <br /> keep their lands in the family. This Bill creates burdens on local families wanting to subdivide or <br /> build family housing on their property. <br /> Bill 51 will add more cost to affordable housing projects of which this county administration has <br /> promoted as its platform, but has not provided any affordable units or incentives to build units, <br /> only added cost. <br /> Solution: <br /> I . Pass the original proposal by public works to be in compliance with FEMA. <br /> 2. Community Development Plan has had hundreds of hours spent on input from [he <br /> community and professionals. Take all of the input and recommendations from the <br /> Community Development Plan and the adhoc committee and pass a Community <br /> Development Plan that addresses all of the issues with regional outlook. <br /> Many of this council advocated a "pause" or moratorium on rezoning until the community <br /> development plan can be reviewed. Why is this council not following its own mandate on other <br /> related and significant issues? <br /> Respec y <br /> <br /> v / <br /> l <br /> Edward J. poz <br /> 75-5705 Kuakini Highway, Ste. 4, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 COIIIM.
