ALAMEDA:Okay. Did you get a chance to look at the County Department’s <br />Background/Recommendation report? <br />TAMIMI:Yes, I did. <br />ALAMEDA:And do you have any questions or concerns about it? <br />TAMIMI:No, not at this time. <br />ALAMEDA:Fellow Commissioners, do you have any questions for the applicant? <br />Okay, seeing none, you may be seated. We do have testimony. Is there a Miriam Hamakawa? <br />HAMAKAWA:Yes. <br />ALAMEDA:Please come forward. Good afternoon, Ms. Hamakawa. <br />HAMAKAWA:Good afternoon. <br />ALAMEDA:We did get a copy of your letter. <br />HAMAKAWA:Well, that’s my testimony. <br />ALAMEDA:Can you please raise your right hand. I’ll swear you in. Do you swear or <br />affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? <br />HAMAKAWA:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay, could you please state your name and address for the record. <br />HAMAKAWA:My name is Miriam Hamakawa and I live at 1142 Puhau Street, Hilo, <br />Hawaii. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Ms. Hamakawa. <br />HAMAKAWA:My sisters and I own our family property at 757 Laukapu Street which is <br />100 feet from the rear of the NST Development property at 455 and 459 East Lanikaula Street. <br />We have several concerns regarding the NST Development application for rezoning from RS-10 <br />to MCX-20. <br />We are already experiencing flooding on our property resulting from surface water runoff <br />originating along Lanikaua Street and flowing down Laukapu Street and into our driveway <br />which is the lowest point along the way. This water then accumulates along the side of our <br />property endangering our living quarters, which is 3 feet below grade. This development would <br />increase the paved area on the property as well as the sidewalks fronting the development on <br />Lanikaula Street resulting in drastically decreasing the area for natural occurring ground <br />3EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
