Mr. Bolton, he has a right to go and purchase property in an industrial area, he has resources to <br />do so, and I believe that that would be the best avenue for him, and I think because he owns the <br />property there is not a reason for him to want to build an industrial park in the middle of a <br />residential area. I ask you today to deny this permit, and leave the residents of Hualālai area to <br />their property values and to their enjoyment of life. Thank you. <br /> <br />UNGER: Thank you. <br /> <br />STARR: Hi. Can you hear me okay? <br /> <br />UNGER: Yeah. <br /> <br />STARR: All right? Okay. My name is Marianne Starr. I live in Pualani Estates. I live on <br />Ka‘ane‘e Place, which is the second street up from the highway, and I live at the far north end, so <br />we are right next to the vacant property that is on the boundary of Pualani, between Pualani and <br />Hualālai Road. And I, prior to this meeting, I tried to get some information like a map because I <br />don’t know a whole lot about this project; I just learned about it from the couple of articles that <br />have been in the paper, so I don’t have nearly as much information as most of the people who <br />have testified. But, you know, I read 700 feet up Hualālai Road, and I’m guessing, okay, a <br />couple of football fields or a little more, that’s about where we are, and since we are at the far <br />north end, we could be one of the closest houses in Pualani to this project. So that concerns me. <br />I would like to know how I can get more information, but maybe I’ll find out if I attend the next, <br />you know, when Bolton shows up. And I, I have a lot of objections that I’ve already heard <br />people state, so I don’t want to repeat that. But there were a couple that really struck me as being <br />important, and I’d just like to reiterate those. And I heard one person say, urge you to kind of <br />take a step back and consider whether, to consider what the original intent was in this whole <br />planning process that we do, and whether it’s really appropriate to have an industrial project that <br />has so much impact on the properties around it, right in the middle of residential area. And then <br />there was a fellow, I think he was an attorney who sat at the end, who really urged you to do <br />research, if you felt you needed to gather information about impacts like the noise and the dust, <br />and really know what we are talking about, not just guessing because people say it’s noisy. I <br />urge you to do that, if you need to. And then I’d also like each one of you to think about like <br />how you would feel, if you were in our house. I don’t know how far we are from the boundary, <br />but we hear noise. Put yourself in our shoes, and please take that into consideration. Thank you. <br /> <br />UNGER: Thank you. <br /> <br />QUARTARARO: Hi. My name is Rod Quartararo – that’s how you say it. <br /> <br />UNGER: Thank you. <br /> <br />QUARTARARO: I might take an extra 30 or 40 seconds. I’m president of the Pualani Estates at <br />Kona Homeowners Association. Just a little more background on it, our subdivision is made up <br />of 363 single-family residences, and I looked up the average household size for this island, so if <br />you take that, those number of homes multiplied it out by the 3.26 average household size; that <br />actually takes, and we need to look at this, this takes us up to about 1,184 actual residents in our <br />11 <br />EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
