LOPEZ: Yeah, okay. I see in this map version that the historic and traditional District 8 <br /> has been decimated and garnered off into more just residential area. And we're talking <br /> about where people identify, where people congregate, where people feel good about <br /> where they're associated. We've lost that in this map. The whole downtown area, the <br /> mauka and makai areas surround Kailua-Kona, and down as far as the end of Alii Drive, <br /> has just totally been decimated. So, to me this is not workable for the people that are in <br /> that proper area. Thank you. <br /> KOSSOW: Thank you, Mr. Lopez. Any other discussion? <br /> BATH: Bath here. <br /> KOSSOW: Ms. Bath. <br /> BATH: Commissioner Lopez, what would you suggest might remedy that, your concerns <br /> for the map? I yield. <br /> LOPEZ: Yes, thank you for that question. I would fall back on Mr. Hustace's. The one <br /> that you folks picked as the Document 2; I believe. That was a much more workable. It <br /> did not infringe on the length of Alii Drive as going off into the southern part, where <br /> there's future development. Which I think future commissions can deal with that portion. <br /> And it would keep the integrity of Kailua town which has been the hub of District 8 for <br /> certainly as long as I've been here, over 25 years. So, this just changes the character. <br /> Actually, you're asking me well how to fix it. And I would default back to Mr. Hustace's <br /> Document 2 version. Which keeps the integrity of the urban hub, urban loosely defined <br /> here, as the integrity of District 8. Thank you. <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Lopez, for clarification, is that Mr. Hustace's 9.1 or the 9.0 map? <br /> LOPEZ: There was the one labeled Doc 2. I believe that you wrote it on at the last <br /> meeting. I think that's 9.0. <br /> KOSSOW: 9.0. Okay, alright. <br /> LOPEZ: I believe. Thank you. <br /> YOSHINA: Chair Kossow? <br /> KOSSOW: Mr. Yoshina. <br /> YOSHINA: I like that Pohakuloa is back in District 3. And I'll go along with what <br /> Commissioner Lui pointed out. The District 2 boundary. We can tweak that one back to <br /> Honoli`i. That's fine, I think. Although, that would put our deviation way higher, I think. <br /> Thank you. <br /> 23 <br />
