concern is are we setting a precedent here in rezoning agricultural lots to residential? I think we should take a real hard look at losing our prime agricultural lands in the State of Hawaii. Thank you. GRAHAM:Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi. Commissioner Domingo, did you have a question? DOMINGO:Just one comment, Mr. Chairman. Im impressed with this testimony because most of the comments have been directed and focused on affordable housing, to which I have no opposition. But the fact of the matter is were looking at prime agricultural lands that are going to be rezoned. And I think, you know, having worked in the sugar industry myself in the past I must add that the Pepeekeo sugar lands are the lands in which yielded the most tonnage of cane per acre, and its merely because of the soil conditions and the method of harvesting. And thats my concern. And I thought people have lost focus, besides housing, and not mentionedgoodagriculturallands.Thankyou. GRAHAM:Thankyou,CommissionerDomingo.RandallDuryea,startwithyour name and address, please. ALAMEDA:Mr. Chairman? GRAHAM:Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA:I appreciate Commissioner Domingos comment on that. I just wanted to make sure that as Fellow Commissioners maybe if we can exercise our discipline and, cause this part is mostly for us to ask the questions to the testifiers. And if we go off on comments then, you know, I have a comment too, and if I give a comment then everybody else is going to comment; and were never going to finish this process. So if we can exercise some discipline, I would appreciate it, Fellow Commissioners. GRAHAM:Thank you, Commissioner Alameda. Go ahead, Mr. Duryea. DURYEA:My name is Randall Duryea. I live in Pepeekeo. And these gentlemen, especially Mr. Miller, addressed some of the issues that I want to bring up. Im an appraiser and I want to point out that this is very definitely a deal. The difference in the sale price between a 10-acre parcel and a 20-acre parcel is not very great, same goes for 5 acre to A-20. There was a time, I assume, after the demise of the sugar industry when this entity, the Planning Commission, instituted 20-ace zoning. And I assume it was done for good reason, considering infrastructure on the Hamakua coast. There are a great number of houses going up on the Hamakua Coast in a variety of areas. Theres enough draining on the services, particularly the highway system in that direction already. I am not at all opposed to affordable housing. I think its a good thing that this community really needs, really needs. But I would simply ask all of you to very deeply consider the infrastructure up the coast. And my last point to focus on is that recently there was work being done on the Honolii bridge, the traffic that was caused by that -. We have basically one modern bridge that goes up that way. If anything happens to that bridge, weve had earthquakes in the past, recent past, there are serious considerations. Theres no way to go up and above that river at this time. Thank you. 20EXHIBIT A
