week, then waterlines are not a real important thing. What€s important is to teach people <br />how to do water catchment, and to do water filtration and what not. <br />Transportation, I think the transportation issues could be resolvedalso by having new <br />kinds of sustainable industries that are closer to the people, rather than having the people <br />go on the highway on a daily basis. I have a neighbor that just told me last week that he <br />has to make trips down his bumpy road and please fill the pot holes cause I have to do it <br />six times a day. I have to go out for one kid and drop him off at the bus stop and come <br />back; and the other kid goes to a different school; and then after that they have after- <br />school activities.‚ You know, six to eight times a day going back and forth is excessive <br />for anybody. And if everybody is doing it, that€s why we have a problem. I mean there <br />are too many cars on the road and there€s too much gas being used. So transportation <br />could be solved by bringing jobs closer to people or by public transportation. <br />Butthemainthingisthatinallofthesethingsifyou€regoingtoconsideranykindof <br />zoning changes, anything like that that has to do with concurrency in public services, it <br />should have more public feedback. Because each area is going to be a little bit different. <br />People in different subdivisions have different needs. If the subdivision isn€t there yet, I <br />suggest you don€t make one there. You know, that€s the easiest thing to do, is don€t <br />make a subdivision. Don€t upzone, you don€t have to upzone. Just leave it in agricultural <br />land. This is an agricultural island that I think in the future is going to have to provide for <br />the rest of the state. But if we build over everything, we€re not going to have anything <br />either. So that€s on upzoning. Let€s see -. <br />The other real important thing, the last real important thing, is that when you do consider <br />public services, infrastructure concurrently, I know the County doesn€t have anything to <br />do with what the State can do, but if you€re going to have that many homes here, new <br />subdivisions, people, we€re going to need State services too. You know, we most <br />definitely need schools right now. We need a lot of different things. And so upzoning <br />for any development without a guarantee from the State that they€re going to back up any <br />of their portion of that infrastructure is pretty scary too. So, you know, it€s just really <br />bad. Don€t make new subdivisions if you don€t have to and try to do something for the <br />subdivisions, you know, that already have people that need places to go, and things to do, <br />and stuff like that. <br />GRAHAM:Thanks, Kim. In specific to these four bills that we have before us, <br />is it your feeling that these bills are in essence a good way to try to address the issues <br />you€re talking about? Do you support the idea of bills like this? <br />KIM:Oh, yes. I mean, they€re a great start; but they€re missing a whole <br />bunch. You know, they€re not addressing all of the public services that the people need, <br />you know, realistically. You can€t just say as long as you put in water and make sure the <br />traffic is not bad that it€s a good place to live, cause it still isn€t going to do things for the <br />people. You know, it might do things for retirees that don€t have to worry about getting <br />jobs, that don€t have kids that they have to take to school. But, you know, for families, <br />it€s only going to cause more problems. <br />13EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
