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 those who 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
