B. 3195, RELATING TO CONOOMINILIM_ PROPERTY RESiMES <br /> <br /> A oha Co-Chairs Bunda and lge and Members of the Comm,ttee: <br /> <br /> r. reviewed the referenced bill and submit this testimony tll, strong <br /> <br /> aUD _gLS. of the intent ana stated purpose of this leg ssatior. <br /> <br /> In recent years, West Hawaii and Kona, in particular, have experienced <br /> increasing use of the condomirium property regime (CPR) to develop land <br /> and "subdivide" its ownership, especially in areas zoned for agricultural <br /> use. ncreasingly, the net result has been that underlying county Tana )se <br /> laws and reguwatuors have peen bypassed and/or rendered ineffectwe. <br /> <br /> <br /> T h,5 practice, in turn, has led to significant locai controversy, costly <br /> iega cha lenges, and the inability of Hawaii County to proper iv ac-dress <br /> the impacts these kinds of projects have on the community it, whicn tnev <br /> are located. There is a widespread feeling among Kona residents that the <br /> establisnmert of the CPR under M.R.S. 514A did not envesior tris result <br /> <br /> For these reasons, it is necessary to amend this statute ':c prevent ,s <br /> further unintended application. The referenced bd c,early addresses tr.is, <br /> <br /> and the proposed amendments appear to provide a reasonab ° resolution. <br /> Therefore, I resoecttuily urge your favorable consideration of this bin. <br /> <br /> T hank you for the opF y to comment on this moortant matter. <br /> <br /> Swc.erely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> liras Tyler, ill <br /> Colin(" %'ember - district 8 iN:,, .
