just, I don't even know how you can even consider this. And on top of that, you know,this, this
<br /> whole thing about"we are putting in affordable housing," yeah, they put the 50 percent in, but,
<br /> come on, that's a joke; if you really cared about affordable housing, why not 100 percent? If
<br /> they weren't trying to make money, why is it paid parking now? And if it's paid parking, let's
<br /> think about this, there's a bait and switch; well, now we've thrown in paid parking. Listen to
<br /> what she's saying about 20 years from now. What do you think is going to happen? You think
<br /> the bait and switch ethic here is going to go away? No, it's not.
<br /> Hawaii is a paradise. And I'm really new here. I don't have, you know, ties, and haven't been
<br /> here for a long time, but I've been here long enough to know when something is wrong. This is
<br /> wrong. If it's going to be done, it needs to be done right. This isn't the right way to do it, and
<br /> this development should not go forward. Not at all. Thank you for allowing me to speak.
<br /> LINGER: Thank you.
<br /> LOGERFO: Hi, my name is Ivy LoGerfo and I live on Princess Ke`elikolani, which is around
<br /> the corner from this project. I think it's a wonderful project but this is not a wonderful location
<br /> for it. It's going to be bringing too much traffic to the area. Changing the zoning from
<br /> Agricultural to Residential is just absolutely wrong. It's going to take the value away from the
<br /> park across the street, Pahoehoe and Magic Sands. And I just believe that it's just going to just
<br /> infill with too many people and too much traffic. Thank you.
<br /> BROOKS: My name is Cindy Brooks and I own a condo at Kona Magic Sands, which is
<br /> directly across the street from it, and so, as he is, we are definitely directly influenced by this
<br /> property, which I would not agree to have it done. I don't know how 50 more people—actually
<br /> it's 154 more people because if you count the amount of bedrooms that each one of those units
<br /> has that they've written down, you get 154 bedrooms —as 154 people coming in and trying to get
<br /> out in an emergency, it's not going to happen. Right now, as it stands today, it takes forever to
<br /> get down Ali`i Drive going either direction. Just a year ago, I could go, at least I could go down
<br /> from Magic Sands to Kahalu`u with no traffic at all, I didn't have to worry about it; Now I have
<br /> to worry about traffic because it's jammed going down that direction, too. This place, this area,
<br /> just cannot handle 154 more people coming in to it—plain and simple. Not to mention that she
<br /> mentioned the flooding, the parking. Are you, parking—what do they want—put 150 parking
<br /> spaces for Magic Sands Beach? Where are 150 people going to sit on that beach? That's not
<br /> going to happen. And those lifeguards are supposed to watch 150 more people in the water?
<br /> That's not fair to them. You are just looking, that is a disaster when you have to shove that many
<br /> more people on that itty bitty little tiny beach. And parking, the parking now they have is
<br /> sufficient for the amount of people that can literally fit on the beach, you know, unless you want
<br /> to be Waikiki where you sit on top of each other, which I do not think we should.
<br /> The sewage is another thing. Where is the sewage going to go? Is it going to go right to the land
<br /> and go directly into the ocean, or is it going to be fueled into a, into a city sewage facility? You
<br /> know, that's another question.
<br /> And then the egress and ingress. I think I already talked on that. With 154 more people and cars
<br /> trying to get out there, it's, you're not going to be able to get out there in emergency. It's going
