Homestead; and maybe I need to make some clarifications. The land across the street from this proposed project is land set aside by Prince Kuhio in 1920, the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act and amended in 21; and people dont like to hear it but thats the way it is. The Congress of the United States created the requirements of who can live there, and for me Im happy. You need to be 50 percent the blood of the race inhabiting the islands prior to 1778 to live here; and Im happy to say that almost 100 percent of the young men and women you see behind you can be identified as meeting that requirement, one of the requirements of that Act. So the Act was also put there so that we can rehabilitate our families. And Mr. Barden did come to the community association. He was at our last meeting. He called and naturally he was invited to come, state his case there; and Im happy to say the people there, I believe, gave some very important input that I believe still needs to be addressed. One was traffic mitigation, how was he going to mitigate the traffic that was going to happen with these 12 more units, how was the egress and ingress from Kalanianaole, now I understand from ApapaneStreet.ApapaneStreetifyoudontknowisnotastreet.Twocarscannotpasswithout one getting off the side of the road. So is that now going to affect whos going to fix it? Is curbs and gutters going to be required on that end of the street? I think Apapane was really a lane, a paper road that was put there. Because it kind of dips down where you have to go across this big, what I like to call a piece of wetland thats connected to this pond. Onekahakaha Beach, that big area that I want to mention, and Neri mentioned theyre working with Keoni Turalde, is to re-establish that the County had given Mr. Turalde a lease and 14 acres, and he intends to do that, and its in connection with the pond. I would beg to differ on Dr. Ron Terrys idea that there is no connection to the kai, the ocean, and this pond. There are a lot of fresh water springs. The water is brackish because almost directly across this property there is ponds, one thats out under the great big banyan tree that if you were to go there at high tide its just as high. So water does seep across. Water seeps all across into Hawaiian Home lands. There were many ponds that were covered before County rulings said you couldnt do that. But people just needed to cover it up so they could build a home. So I need to express that to you. There were some objections from the community. One that particularly concerned me was that, itwasrepresentedbytheownerthatoneofyourlasttestifiersatthelastCommissionmeeting mentioned that they were so happy to see that maybe there was going to be only one home built. And then the owner represented to the community that they had decided on a rezoning not for one home but they were going to do, they found out that maybe four homes could be built on that property. What disturbed myself and a great many people in the community was he represented, when I say he, Mr. Barden, represented to the community that it was the people in the Planning Department, namely Mr. Daryn Arai and the Planning Director, that said, hey, you know what, you guys can build 12. Because there was a concern about the pond, I think we all should have concerns about a pond. But I think its the job of people in the Planning Department, people like Mr. Barden, the private owners of land; and thats always going to be in question, you know. As far as from a Hawaiian standpoint, the private ownership of land especially in close proximity to Hawaiian Home Lands is always going to be in question, its always going to be in question. And thats stemming from something that we really had no control, not any one of you here have any control. And that 7EXHIBIT A
