up land values, property taxes, and the cost of housing; and encourage developers that <br />wish to invest in the long-term health of North Kohala.” None of that changed. <br />And then there are two bullet points below that and they did change; and this is <br />satisfactory to me. If this is satisfactory to you it says, “County permits and approvals for <br />North Kohala, including but not limited to zoning changes, subdivision approvals, and <br />building permits, shall have expiration dates,” and then they added “for permit conditions <br />that require actions by the applicant, and these expiration dates shall be adhered to. Any <br />requested extensions of expiration dates for permit conditions shall be carefully <br />evaluated.” <br />And then the next bullet point it says, “The North Kohala CDP recommends the <br />enactment of a special land speculation tax,” and they added “by the state legislature. <br />The North Kohala CDP Action Committee should provide support to implement <br />appropriate state legislation,” and they added the word “state.” <br />This is the only thing that I really strenuously objected to when we had our first meeting. <br />And if those conditions are acceptable, that modification -. It’s really a clarification and <br />so therefore it’s not really an amendment, we don’t have to go through a whole process <br />again. But if it’s acceptable then I think I’m ready to vote for it. <br />WHITE: Thank you, Mr. Woodward. Those two, on Item 7, the wording <br />that you have there in front of you represents what my recollection is of how we wanted <br />to clarify the discussion that was at the very first Commission hearing that we had in <br />Kohala. And I believe that’s when you raised that concern; and, well, we had the <br />discussion. And these, I believe, represent the clarification of what the intent of Item 7 <br />was or is. <br />WOODWARD: Is that satisfactory to you? <br />WHITE: Yes, yes. <br />WOODWARD: Thank you. Anybody else have questions? All right, we have no <br />public testifiers signed up. Does anybody want to testify? Okay. <br />LUCE: Mr. Chairman? <br />WOODWARD: Sir, I think we met before, but if you will give us your name and <br />address and then begin your -. Mike Luce, yes, we have met before. <br />LUCE: Yes, sir. <br />WOODWARD: If you will give us your name and address, and then you’re <br />welcome to begin your testimony. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />4 <br /> <br />
