Botelho, Sr. and I am speaking in opposition to <br /> Resolution 289-98. <br /> When Ka'upulehu Makai venture received approval to rezone the land for <br /> the Ka'upulehu Makai Development, it received the approval on the basis <br /> that certain conditions were to be met. Ka'upulehu Makai Venture agreed <br /> to those conditions. <br /> For whatever reason, Ka'upulehu Makai Venture did not meet the <br /> affordable housing conditions; no ground work was ever started on this <br /> project. It appears that Ka'upulehu Makai Venture had no intentions of <br /> ever meeting the affordable housing conditions. The efforts being made <br /> to have the conditions amended appears that the integrity of the <br /> commitment is highly questionable. <br /> A commitment was made and the commitment should be adhered to. I oppose <br /> the efforts to make an amendment to the conditions. <br /> <br /> I ask that the County Council vote "against" this resolution. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your consideration and for allowing me this opportunity <br /> to express my views. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ,s;rYm. Na. <br /> <br /> rile No. Ns& <br /> Stef. To <br /> DAe ,n 11 11998 <br />
