<br /> CONCLUSION <br /> We have reviewed the most recent provisions of Bill 151, Draft 2, and have <br /> <br /> communicated with members of the professional engineers, the Hawaii community and <br /> <br /> developers. Based on this review, LURF is strongly opposed to this bill in its <br /> present form, for reasons including, but not limited to, the folbwing: <br /> • Bill 151 inGudes additional arbitrary requirements which are not based on <br /> scientific or engineering principles, practices and considerations; <br /> • The additional arbitrary requirements far exceed the requirements of the <br /> National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") and other federal and state <br /> requirements; <br /> • The additional arbitrary requirements will resuR in additional costs will be <br /> passed on and could result in price increases too high for Hawaii County <br /> residents who are first-time home buyers. <br /> • The additional arbitrary requirements restrict the use of private property; and <br /> • The additional arbitrary requirements thus constitute an unconstitutional taking <br /> of land." <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to express our views on this matter. <br /> Cc: Corporation Counsel, County of Hawaii <br /> J:\CountieslCounty of HawailBill 511070906 Bill 157 Food Control.doc <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
