Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? MENDOZA:I do. GALDONES:Could you please state your name, your residence address, and you may begin your testimony. MENDOZA:Okay. My name is Lorraine Mendoza, and I live in Pepe`ekeo. My mailing address is P.O. Box 877. And what I'd like to do is read a letter that I submitted to the Planning Commission, and it's addressed to Mr. Fred Galdones, Chairman, Planning Commission, and this is regarding SMA 03-009, REZ 03-014, SLU 03-006, Applicants being the Continental Pacific, LLC. "Aloha, Mr. Galdones and Members of the Planning Commission. On behalf of the Pepe`ekeo Community Association, the Pepe`ekeo Fishing Access Committee, Pepe`ekeo Filipino Association, the Pepe`ekeo Senior Center, and the residents of Pepe`ekeo, I am submitting this request for a continuance on the above-named SMA 03-009, REZ 03-014, and SLU 03-006. "The PCA, that being the Pepe`ekeo Community Association and the Fishing Access Committee have on record with the Planning Commission testimony on the positive relationship of Continental Pacific, LLC on the issue of fishing access for community residents. The contents of this testimony reference in entirety the resolution of fishing access issues that the community deemed important. "At a meeting of 22 members of the Pepe`ekeo leadership on Tuesday, October 8, it was evident that the full content and impact of SMA 03-009, REZ 03-014, and SLU 03-006 on the community is not clear. Concerns regarding developmental plans, property taxes, and resulting impact were raised. It is apparent that further opportunities for discussion by the community, developers, and various agencies and departments are needed to inform and educate the residents on the resulting consequences such as the effect on finances, lifestyle, environment, livelihood, and their future. I have enclosed a copy of the roll sheet of this meeting for your perusal. "I ask that your favorable consideration of this request for continuance be granted. Respectfully submitted, Lorraine Mendoza, president of the Pepe`ekeo Community Association." 16
