S. MORINOUE: Hi, good morning. My name is Setsuko Morinoue from Holualoa. <br /> Again, I'm listening to all the testimony here. It's echoing, its same voices, and the same <br /> heart and I do hope that as Commissioners are hear it, feel it, and be with us. And <br /> because you are the chosen one for the power you have that you are representing our <br /> voice. I sent the written testimony, I do not, going to go over the details but that building <br /> structure shouldn't be even considered in developing on Alii Drive any more than we <br /> already have. The many "---" 2, 3, 30 years' time Alii Drive are changing so rapidly <br /> makai a mauka and the packing with buildings and lesser trees and open areas. And that <br /> is really telling us were going to be waiting for the big disastrous that we can handle, and <br /> we don't know we going to maybe lose a lot of people's lives. And so, anyway, and too <br /> close shorelines, too close to the shoreline and so that will trigger all the pollutions and <br /> the environment impact to the living creatures to the humans as well. And also indirect, <br /> even the mauka people way up on the hillside because the light reflects in the time of the <br /> days and blind your eyes and it's not pretty at all. <br /> So those are the things that are so much that the wide and deep issues that this is going to <br /> be creating. So, all we are saying that is to stop this kind of development on Alii Drive <br /> our beautiful roadway that use to be a scenic drive and people enjoy walking, running, <br /> biking, swimming around, surfing and picnicking and we don't have much places <br /> available and very very dangerous. Commissioners, please think 2, 3 times more before <br /> you say this case is nothing but is preserving our nature or our culture. We are destroying <br /> one after another and I don't think we should have anymore this kind of a nonsense <br /> testimony to be needed if we haven't changing the regulation, this kind of development <br /> happening so close to the water. Pretty soon, we won't be able to see the ocean for one, <br /> or cannot getting in the water because the water quality is no good or drinking water <br /> won't be able to have it for everybody to enjoy this living style here. <br /> So, it's a big, big issue it's not just one building, if you pass this thing it's going to echos <br /> okay, they did it, we can do that too. We have no excuse, and this is happening on Oahu <br /> and look at the Maui, the Kihei area, Lahaina areas all the peaceful places. Beautiful <br /> places taken away, it is not local, they can go back home but, this is our home. We <br /> cannot go anywhere, we don't have a second, third homes to go. This is the place. We <br /> don't even have a road that goes up a hill when we have a disaster comes. We cannot <br /> help those people on Alii Drive. I'm worried for them, we shouldn't build anymore, we <br /> should think more on how to preserve what we have and all the sewage systems, all that <br /> replacements have to be done. County down, the State down, the Commissioners you are <br /> all the big part of it and you're responsible for us to be part with us and thank you so <br /> much and very emotional. <br /> VITOUSEK: Thank you very much. <br /> S. MORINOUE: Make a good decision please. Thank you. <br /> 8 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
