Chair <br /> Vitousek and Leeward Planning Commission, thank you so much for the opportunity to testify <br /> on Item Number 3 and 4 on the agenda. First, I would like to say that I understand the Urban <br /> designation of the area and would love to see Ag land remain as Ag land. I do, however, <br /> understand the possibility of development. That being said, I have two main concerns regarding <br /> this rezoning. <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />
