KERN: Recreational Estates, okay. O’HARA: And then there’s a Hawaiian Shores without the Recreation, I think. KERN: Very confusing. O’HARA: Very confusing, I agree. KERN: Yeah, it’s even more confusing when you drive there and see a white sign. O’HARA: You see the private, private road, yeah. I’m sorry. KERN: Yeah, it’s like weird. Okay, thank you so much. O’HARA: Yeah, sure. KERN: Just for point of record, all the last testifiers that we had were for the Puna CDP amendment to the Hawaiian Beaches NVC. Now this testifier, Patrice MacDonald , is testifying on the community parks. Name and address, and you may begin. MACDONALD: My name is Patrice MacDonald. My primary residence is 16-1800 O‘o‘a‘a Street, Hawaiian Acres. I’m sorry, you guys, I just was in the hospital this morning and got called to come to this meeting as no one else could make it. The amended amendment is actually on my phone because we have no Wi-Fiaccess in Hawaiian Acres. I would like to be able to get some addresses to mail you a better version of what we have. I’ve been on the boards in Hawaiian Acres and a number of communities over the last 30 years. I have lived on this island for over 50 years. So our resolution, Aloha’s Board of Directors moved to submit an amendment for a proposal to the Puna Community Development Plan via the Action Committee. The proposed amendments are: A), to remove the planned Hawaiian Acres Community Parks, (See pages 3-17:Action 3.5.3.c), and that is amended to community parks and roads. Rationale: Hawaiian Acres already has three designated community lots, on Road B and C, and two parks near the highway donated on Road B. These designated areas by the PDCP are all on the same road, and they make no sense for connectivity. They’re all in area, 1, Area 3. They are all connected to F Road; and they were voted against by 2,010 residents or 90 percent of the residents living there now. This is the oldest subdivision in Puna and the largest. We actually had written the original grants for the Waiokele Forest Reserve, which is half of Hawaiian Acres. This is the oldest native forest reserve, I can’t understand his writing, has grants written --Ilost it, my apologies. It’s really hard to do on an i-phone. -- to designate this area as a protected area, see the PDCP Chapter 5, Section 5.1.1. Resolution: We ask that our current zoning and roads remain unchanged. B, to remove all proposed connector roads and highways in Hawaiian Acres from the PDCP. Delete the words Hawaiian Acres from Chapter 4, Section 4.3.3a. Rationale: The proposed takeover of F and 1 road does nothing for our residents. Hawaiian Acres is designed perfectly for only our number of residents. It is not conducive to propose to 6 EXHIBIT B
