MACISAAC: Mr. Chairman, may I say something, also? <br />FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. <br />MACISAAC:I think what you€re seeing here and Mr. Graham has asked a <br />couple of times about it is what you€re seeing here is that peoplereally don€t believe that <br />this is going to happen. I think that€s the key, you know. They€re saying it€s going to <br />happen, everybody says it€s going to happen, but we just don€t have it in hand. And I <br />think that€s our, at least that€s my major concern. I mean, I commend the Commissioners <br />and the Planning Department for moving this along in that direction because I think we€re <br />going in the right direction. But we still don€t have it in hand; and we have a really hard <br />time believing it. <br />WHITMYER:We€ve already been there. <br />MACISAAC: And that€s my only comment. Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Okay. We have Beverly. Beverly, can you kindly raise your right <br />hand?DoyousweartotellthetruthonthismatternowbeforetheHawaiiPlanning <br />Commission? <br />AIKELE:Yes, I do. <br />FUJIKAWA:Please state your name and your address. <br />AIKELE:I€m Bev Aikele, A-i-k-e-l-e. I live in the Palisades right now. <br />We€re in the process of moving to our farm, which is just below the Kohanaiki <br />Homestead and just above, just below this gentleman. <br />FUJIKAWA:Okay, you may go ahead with your testimony. <br />AIKELE:Okay. I don€t want to be repetitive but we built a farm cause we <br />thought it was a farming area. We€ve got 120 macadamia nut trees that we€re trying to <br />take care of and grow and have a real farm there; and then that€s what we understood that <br />this area was going to be, was a farm land. We understood that the folks, that we had this <br />neat little Kohanaiki subdivision which we felt good. We€ve got our neighbors <br />somewhere close by in case we€re ever in trouble. <br />I understood from talking with Bennett Mark at the Planning Department that the <br />Hualalai Vistas was going to have a gated subdivision and that they didn€t want to be <br />connected to us that live over here in these little not so nice homes. But Curtis tells me <br />that that is not a gated area, so perhaps I€m misled on that. But I agree with Robert. We <br />really just don€t trust Tom Smith. We just are shuddering at the fact that this other thing, <br />Hualalai Vistas, may be hung up for however long and that what is going to happen is <br />that those trucks are going to come down that road and going to try and turn in front of <br />21 <br /> <br />
