are held in trust by the State for the benefit of the people." In this application, it shows no benefits to the public. Section 1, the Conservation and Development [of Resources] section of the doctrine, "For [the] benefit of present and future generations, the State and its political subdivisions shall conserve and protect Hawai`i's natural beauty and natural resources, including [land], water, air, minerals and energy sources, and shall promote the development and utilization of these resources in a manner consistent with their conservation ...." Environmental Rights, Section 9: "Each person has the right to a clean and healthful environment, as laws defined [as defined by laws] relating to environmental quality, including control of pollution and conservation, protection and enhancement of natural resources." Reason number 4, there's no sewer line the last mile of Alii Drive. Two-point-two miles south of Banyans, Kahalu`u Beach keeps getting shut down because there is so much bacteria, and it's not safe for the public to use. Number 5, 2.8 miles north of Banyans, we have a pier that has been shut down multiple times because it's unsafe for the public to swim. So, you have sewer and hygiene problems on both sides of this proposed development. Number 6, our County doesn't have an R-1 sewage treatment center, which means our wastewater is not disinfected before it is pumped back into the ocean. We need to get our poop figured out before we can think about adding more to the problem. In a February 28th West Hawaii Today article titled, "Erosion Undermines Alii Drive in Kailua Village," Highway Division Chief Neil Azevedo said, "It's like a washing machine right there. It hits and circles." He said the erosion has been an issue for about four or five years, and they patched it up at least once already. In a March 7th West Hawaii Today article titled, "Erosion Issues on Alii Drive are being addressed and repairs are underway," ["Work Underway on Erosion Issue in Kailua Village"] the Chief again said, "It was damaged good. The road was undermining. I'm glad we caught it when we caught it." And, I'd like to add that those repairs are not on the makai side of the road. They are on the mauka side of the road, which means everybody walking and everybody driving was in danger. When Banyan Tree Condos tried to repair their seawall after the March 2011 tsunami, they were told to move it because the shoreline had changed; this change to the shoreline study done in 2007. Number 9, this is the heart of the surfing community. Shane Dorian's Keiki Classic is almost, the most anticipated and celebrated surfing contest, and next year, it celebrates 25 years. Students must get good grades to participate, and Shane gets all his corporate sponsors and pro surf buddies to donate their time and prizes for the keiki of our community. We need to keep some open spaces for our health and sanity. Number 10, this is a Hawaiian burial grounds. There are many of our loved ones we have paddled out and spread their ashes in the ocean and their ashes are scattered all along this coast. Please do not build anymore and just let them rest. And, furthermore, we should have a moratorium on building anything makai side of Alii Drive because of climate change and sea 20 EXHIBIT B
