Info given at LPC 6-30-26 Meeting <br /> Testimony Len Gambia <br /> From: JCoili Point <br /> To: Plannina LPC Testimony <br /> Subject: Bill 147 commentary <br /> Date: Tuesday,June 30,2026 4:56:31 AM <br /> Aloha, <br /> I would like to respectfully submit the following for consideration. A couple of minor <br /> points.... <br /> 1. Regarding a TVR, consider a provision if the owner is off-island for any reason and they <br /> provide an alternate contact since the owner would not be able to return from Oahu within 3 <br /> hours for example. Otherwise the provision as written is unreasonable. <br /> 2. Encourage hotels to provide housing for its employees instead of just building more rooms <br /> for guests. <br /> 3. Encourage re-zoning of Agricultural lands so that more than 2 houses can be built on larger <br /> acreage. <br /> 4. Work with Department of Hawaiian Homelands to help speed up their process. <br /> The last three items directly impact housing which is the main impetus for this Bill from what <br /> I understand. Addressing the root causes would also be quite helpful, if not more useful in the <br /> problem, in addition to helping ensure TVRs and STVRs are all legal and safe for guests. <br /> Mahalo, Len Gambia <br />
