Over the past, I guess, three or four years weve been in discussions with the Pepeekeo
<br />Community Association. And as you notice from the continuances that weve had in this case,
<br />weve work with the community association to provide various assistance in terms of facilities,
<br />use of our men and labor, and their equipment, to clear certain areas, provide money for fencing
<br />with the community, and those things. And what happened during the actual permit process, the
<br />hearings process, was that certain members of the community felt that they wanted more
<br />certainty in terms of the developers willingness to contribute to the community and be a part of
<br />the community. And, so, we took a step back and that started, I guess, late last year continuing
<br />through the present day. And well have, I think, members from the Pepeekeo Community
<br />Association come to talk to you today about the fact that weve reached an agreement with them
<br />in terms of the developers mitigation of the communitys concerns.
<br />So I think that we feel that the, at least most of the community is now in favor of the project.
<br />This is basically a reconfiguration of prior lots. And pursuant to a settlement agreement with the
<br />PlanningDirector,wehavetoprocesstheseapplications.Itsessentiallyadown-zoningofthe
<br />potential densities, especially at the Point, which a large portion is zoned currently RS-7,500
<br />square foot lots. So we are rezoning it for RS-20,000 square foot lots; however, there are
<br />covenants that are recorded against the properties; and our settlement agreement with the
<br />Planning Department limits the number of lots that we can develop. So were currently, like I
<br />say, proposing 11 lots at the north side and 11 lots at the south side.
<br />The comments relating to the letters from the concerned property owners, one is the -.
<br />SIRACUSA:I have it here if youd like me to read it.
<br />LIM:I have the records, also. We have one from Mr. and MrsHeissand
<br />.
<br />Mr. and Mrs. Maize, who own Lot 45 -.
<br />HAYASHI:Excuse me, Mr. Lim, could you use the microphone?
<br />LIM:Oh, excuse me. Thank you. Who own Lot No. 45, which is right mauka
<br />of the proposed north lots. And then the second letter that related to opposition was a letter from,
<br />in terms of the area residents, was a letter from MrsAnnette Barr, who purchased Lot No. 31,
<br />.
<br />which is the lot that is right immediately next to the 11 lots on the Pepeekeo Point north. I guess
<br />part of the, both letters note that they seemed unaware that the lot frontage, the lots fronting, I
<br />guess, the land fronting their lots on the ocean side would be the subject of further SMA, and
<br />rezoning, and subdivision actions. And Ill read to you from the public offering statement at the
<br />Pepeekeo Point, which is the date of final registration of April 17, 2003. Its also quoted in the
<br />Heiss and Maize letter as their attachment. I think its the second attachment to their letter. And
<br />its, you know, we think its self-proving. But on the bottom part of that page youll see, when
<br />theyre talking about bulk Lot 70, and bulk Lot 70 runs from basically the, all the area that youll
<br />see thats not lotted out from the Mill Road towards Waimea, coming around and fronting the
<br />bend, all the way through to the Pepeekeo Point, was Lot 70. And, so, when we talk about any
<br />public offering statement, if you look at the Heiss and Maize letter, its disclosing that the bulk
<br />Lot 70 would be creating 11 additional lots, proposed Lots 21 to 30 and 41, which are the
<br />5
