change, development runoff, the impact to ocean health, utilization of a bond to put the potential <br /> work or cleanup on the County, issues of traffic, issues of tsunami evacuation, issues of the lack <br /> of local affordable housing and just throwing credits and trading credits—and we know how <br /> that's gone—issues of drought, sewer hookup, water hookup, and the disruption of lives and <br /> livelihoods of neighbors. So consider all of those granularly reiterated here. <br /> Having sit through this all day with you, I'd like to reflect on a couple of items that were touched <br /> upon by Land Planning Hawai`i's representative, John Pipan. While Mr. Pipan is not the <br /> applicant's representative in this particular application, his company is involved with two parcels <br /> mauka, so his comments that he made today are relevant here. Mr. Pipan stated that the County <br /> sewage treatment plant system is—and I quote his words as closely as I could—"aging <br /> undeveloped sewer system" and he indicated his belief that it is risky to be putting our faith, <br /> putting our whole faith in that. And that's just for 11 lots. Yet this Naniloa development is 62 <br /> lots, and the one's in mauka, one that he represents is at 45, and another one farther up that he <br /> represents is probably going to be between, I don't know, three five[inaudible] and in between <br /> that there is another couple of lots that will be in that same thing when the dominoes fall, which <br /> hopefully they will not. Mr. Pipan also reflected on the emotional impact of hearing all these <br /> strong voices we heard,pleading respect for ancestors and for kanaka maoli today and in the <br /> future, and to all of us who really do consider ourselves allies and lovers of this island. He said <br /> he was reading a book on the topic of, if I heard him correctly, solace-less trauma. Trauma is <br /> something I know a little bit about; I am a practicing marriage and family therapist. I'm licensed <br /> in the State of California and the State of Hawaii and have been since 2011. I'm a certified <br /> thanatologist, and thanatology is the study of death and dying. I'm not familiar with the term <br /> solace-less trauma in the way he defined it. I can testify very loudly that intergenerational <br /> trauma is real, is extraordinarily painful, and it is ongoing. So I think today you have been given <br /> an extraordinary gift to take steps to begin a piece in the healing of the trauma. You heard so <br /> clearly this morning. You have the opportunity to say that now we know better. This type of <br /> destruction of so much richness and archaeological, cultural, and ongoing. Just all of our <br /> kuleana. You can stop it here now. You can say no. And I encourage you to do that. Mahalo <br /> for your time. <br /> VITOUSEK: Mahalo. <br /> HATA: Our last testifier is Shannon Rudolph. <br /> RUDOLPH: Aloha. I hadn't planned to testify on the Bolton item, but I had testified on that <br /> before in the beginning, and I just like to say that I oppose that, that item I guess it's item number <br /> 2, I'm opposed. I live in H61ualoa <br /> VIOTUSEK: That item has already been completed. Would you like to make a comment on <br /> item 5 or 6? Hawaii Onel? <br /> RUDOLPH: Yes. <br /> VIOTUSEK: Okay, go ahead. <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT G <br />
