MCDONALD: On a different amendment. KERN: That’s okay. Yeah, we’re putting them all together right now for theirsake. So you’re welcome to come up. Please do. Okay, you may begin. Name and address, and go for it. KELLOG: Okay. My name is Liz Kellogg and I live at 15-117 Papio Street. I’m a member in good standing of Hawaiian Shores; and I oppose removing the village center designation. th In our Articles of Incorporation, our 4section, it states that no activities of the corporation shall consist of propaganda or attempting to influence legislation, which I feel they’re doing. The dysfunction of our board, in what the judge called a frivolous lawsuit, has diminished our funds by $165,000. And only two of our eight board members right now have been elected. Every time somebody leaves, they put somebody of their own in there. This request from our board doesn’t show the opinion of our wider community who didn’t get a chance to vote on it. Nothing can occur on the property without the members approving it. So there’s no negativity by leaving the designation village commercial center there. We don’t want to foreclose our future options, which we would be doing if you voted for that. And as a resident, I would like the Commission to give a negative recommendation to our board to remove the village center designation. Thank you. KERN: Any questions? Seeing none, Ma’am. JOHNSON: My name is Erica Johnson. I live at 15-119 Kuna Street. I’m an HSCA Member in good standing. I don’t want you to change the designation of the village center because it’s not in -. I was on the planning committee, on the Village Center Committee. And when those designations were made they were primarily as placeholders so that the community as a whole could decide where a commercial area could be. And without, that was the only 10-acre spot in the development that wasn’t encumbered. So it was chosen primarily because it didn’t affect a specific landowner. You know, the community association is a number of landowners. So the community needs to have commercial area and by moving it, the amendment doesn’t put it some place else. So without having some place to have a commercial area in our neighborhood, it goes against the principals of the community plan. Thank you. KERN:Thank you. Any questions? Seeing none, Ma’am, name and address and you may begin. O’HARA: Aloha Commissioners. I am Eileen O’Hara. I live at 15-2782 Papio Street, Pahoa, a member of the Hawaiian Shores Community Association, as HSCA. I have lived in the community for 30 years and have been a resident of Hawaiian Shores since 2003. I am familiar with the community based planning process having served as a VisionKeeper for the Envision Downtown Hilo 2025 Plan. I am opposed to this amendment to remove the Hawaiian Beaches Village Center designation from the Puna CDP. I also submitted through Sharon written testimony by another HSCA Member, Dick Munday, architect. Mr. Munday is unable to attend today’s meeting and he asked me to submit his written testimony. 4 EXHIBIT B
