CLARKSON: There being no further questions, thank you. At this time, we'll have public
<br /> testimony. We have two people signed up. Jeno Enocencio and Dwight Vicente, would you
<br /> please come forward? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on
<br /> this matter before the Planning Commission today?
<br /> ENOCENCIO: Yes.
<br /> VICENTE: [No response.]
<br /> CLARKSON: Please let the record show that Mr. Vicente is unsworn, and you'll have three
<br /> minutes.
<br /> ENOCENCIO: Thank you so much for the opportunity. At my last testimony a couple of weeks
<br /> ago, I did mention about the issues concerning hydrology. Has there been a hydrology study
<br /> being done because of the—always there's flooding down at the lower side of Clem Akina Park
<br /> which plugs all the drains and everything leading out to wherever it goes. The other part was
<br /> concerning the access to the property and, you know, as more as I get to learn more about what's
<br /> happening with the project, I see it as a gated community. Do'you see it as that? I see it as a
<br /> gated community, and it's going to be subject to thosewho can really afford to be in that gated
<br /> community.
<br /> Now, when you look at, you know, ranch lands and, or farming lands and things like that, are
<br /> these people whose gonna buy these properties—one acre, two acres, 20 acres, and stuff like
<br /> that—are they really going to be doing livestock? Are they going to be planting things? Is it
<br /> something that's going to be consumable, you know,for the general public? Is it something that
<br /> they're gonna purchase out? Export? And things as such? You know, are they going to be
<br /> hiring farmer and things as such? So, you gotta consider now, when you look at these roads and
<br /> access, if you got cattle trucks coming in it might not be possible for, why it might endanger the
<br /> people that's within the area that has area, you know,as far as, you know, access to their
<br /> properties and to turn around and things like that as far as trailers.
<br /> So, you gotta consider this, ok? You know, is the property gonna be used, because it's
<br /> designated Ag, is it going to be used for agricultural purposes? Or is it just another gentleman
<br /> farm lot? Okay?
<br /> Now, the other part regarding the cemetery, the cemetery, okay, I was born and raised on
<br /> Amau`ulu Camp Four, okay?.,We go all the way up to Camp Five. Until my dad died in '57,
<br /> World War II veteran, because of his injuries, when he died, they closed up a lot of the camps.
<br /> And, as to why they closed it up, I don't know, but the only Camp One was, what'd you call,
<br /> where I live with my grandma after my dad died. Now, the thing about it is, that graves that's all
<br /> over there, when I came back from Vietnam—there's that one minute thing—okay, when I came
<br /> back from Vietnam, we were closing out a lot of the camps, and one of them was Camp One, the
<br /> last one. And, the graves on the lower side where you're looking at right now, a lot of the bodies
<br /> were exhumed. Now, where did they go? Are they stashed somewhere? Were they planted over
<br /> in Alae Cemetery? Where? Where did they go? Okay? A lot of the people from the camps,
<br /> Camp One all the way up to Camp Five, as well as Pu`u`eo, utilized that area. When I seen the
