CARDOZA:Yes.
<br />ALAMEDA:Aloha. Could you please state your name and address for the record.
<br />CARDOZA:Leonard Cardoza. I live on 499 Kulana Kea Drive, Hilo.
<br />ALAMEDA:Aloha, Leonard. You can go ahead and proceed with your testimony.
<br />CARDOZA:Yeah, I know Mr. Olson thats doing this project. Hes a good friend of
<br />mine and Id like to see this project happen. But I have a few comments to say.
<br />ALAMEDA:Sure.
<br />CARDOZA:Ivesaiditinthepastwhensomeoneelsetriedtodevelop,Ithink,itwas
<br />14 acres on Kualana Kea Drive, go back to the old standards. When they tried to subdivide this
<br />area, they had a plan that they had to realign that road or make it safer, and the water
<br />improvement. And, you know, Id like to see the project happen. But, you know, maybe its not
<br />you that makes the decision or the Commission, but we have water issues and we have road
<br />issues; and its a private road so I dont know where that falls into play. And, you know, where
<br />is this old plan, is it thrown out, is it still in existence? Why is it not being talked about? All of a
<br />sudden, you know, weve got 5 lots, possibly, maybe 10 or 15 more. Why open the crack a little
<br />and let the little ones go and eventually youre choked? I mean everybody should start looking
<br />at the picture. Its happening, its coming. Why dont we lay the cards on the table and do it
<br />right, instead of trying to get in, you know, do a short-cut, so called, you know, sell the lots.
<br />And basically its the people that live in the subdivision going to be the deep pockets.
<br />And, you know, you want to make this subdivision happen, and then you as the Commissioners
<br />over here made a good deed and people come back and say you did a good job -. You know, I
<br />think people should look at those things, you know. I mean stop this short-cut stuff. You know,
<br />weve got problems all over this island with these shortcuts, you know, so lets do it right. You
<br />know, I dont mind if weve got to chip in as lot owners but we should do this subdivision right.
<br />Not that on the bottom, oh, just shave the bank a little, I can see the car coming. I personally got
<br />into an accident here cause I couldnt make a turn. I mean, and Evonne came a few minutes
<br />later. I mean, I saw this car coming but we couldnt fit two cars in there. And I brought this
<br />matter up at the last hearing, so -.
<br />You know, the road is the big issue. The land is nice, its, Id like to see it subdivided. I mean
<br />Im not here to stop it; but Id like to see it done right, if I can get help from the people to do it
<br />right. Cause eventually its going to be done right, why not do it now. But I can see it, its not
<br />doing right now. Cut the corners, lets make sure you can see. When somebody gets into an
<br />accident its their problem, then we end up with law suits and insurance and association dues.
<br />Weve got to pay more because the Commission let this thing slide. You know, they only look at
<br />the zoning and let it go.
<br />Even the water easement, do they have enough water easement to put the new line in? Is it 10
<br />feet, is it 20 feet, is it 50 feet? How many more feet they need? Are they going to cut up
<br />Kulana Kea Road. Are we going to have a patch road when the waterline is done? Are we going
