The other reason that I am in favor of these SMAs is that they are essentially a down-zoning. <br />And I think a down-zoning in this area is a good idea because I would hate to see a house every <br />20,000 square feet along the shoreline there where these SMAs are. <br />So, thats pretty much what I have to say. I support what Lorraine Mendoza said on behalf of the <br />community association. What I wanted to provide was just a perspective from somebody who <br />actually lives in the middle of this thing as to what has gone on. <br />And there were a couple of other written testimonies submitted by people who had to leave the <br />meeting because of time constraints. Im not sure whether you folks would like them read into <br />the record or if you would just like them in the written form that they were submitted. One was <br />by Ed Johnston, the other was by June Rabago. But I offer to read them if you so desire. <br />GALDONES:We have copies of those, Mr. Skogstrom, so it would be entered into the <br />record. <br />SKOGSTROM:Okay.AndIthankyouforthisopportunitytospeakmypiece. <br />GALDONES:Wait,Mr.Skogstrom.Yourenotgoingtogetoffthateasy.Arethere <br />any questions of Mr. Skogstrom? Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yes, you said you live right smack in the middle. And Im wondering if <br />that was on the southern portion or the northern portion. <br />SKOGSTROM:Oh, Im sorry, I dont live in the middle of the SMAs. I live in the middle <br />of the 69 lots that were previously approved before these two SMAs came -. <br />SIRACUSA:And what lot number? <br />SKOGSTROM:Well, on the map it shows it is other ownerships but its on Railroad <br />Avenue just before you get to, well, right where Railroad Avenue meets Higa Road. Im not <br />sure, let me look at the map here and see. It only said other ownerships on the map, but the <br />closest parcel, I believe, is Parcel 89, is the closest one to where we live. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. Got you. Okay. <br />GALDONES:Well, Mr. Skogstrom, the efforts and the participation that the community <br />has put into this development should not cease and then it should continue as the development <br />proceeds. <br />SKOGSTROM:I agree. <br />GALDONES:Thank you. Hearing no further comments. Thanks, <br />Mr. Skogstrom. <br />26 <br /> <br />
