Charleston...half of the cities okay that's...the point I was trying <br /> to make I think Ms. Eoff miss-spoke...she made a mistake but her <br /> property's located in a commercial zone...so almost under any <br /> STR...anybody would draft...it would be permitted...then I also <br /> went to the...Planning Department and to real tax and actually <br /> looked...you may have also done this and so I have this supporting <br /> documents and her unit...she purchased it in 2005...it's the unit <br /> 205 in Kona Islander Inn...she's been paying the highest tax rate <br /> in the County since 2005 on it...the so called apartment tax rate <br /> that's actually higher than the commercial tax rate that's a slightly <br /> lower and...it's zoned...75...1 have it here from the Planning <br /> Department and...so by all means...I don't see...any problem with <br /> that you know by...all means...okay so this is...I leave this as <br /> supporting evidence...this is the presentation that Mr. Takemoto <br /> gave to the Rotary club...it has essentially the most important <br /> dimensions of the bill in it...so you can see that this was before the <br /> bill was drafted...I also...yeah I think Mr. Guzman is trying to get <br /> everybody to focus on the accusation rather than the facts and one <br /> of the problem is that in this whole short-term rental areas that so <br /> much capital in it that you know when people have money in the <br /> ground or planning to build something then they become very <br /> defensive around it an so this you see this everywhere you <br /> know...and...one more thing I wanted to say is...I know Karen <br /> Eoff not personally but in a different context and I think we may <br /> want to consider this also...OMA is this big parcel over in Kona <br /> where two thousand three hundred home were gonna go into what <br /> was called OMA beachside villas and I testified at hearing there <br /> against this development I thought it was crazy to take that open <br /> ocean front land away from the community because you know <br /> when you drive from the airport to town that's what you see and <br /> you know not to look like Honolulu and I learned later that Ms. <br /> Eoff was instrumental to get that piece of property into the land <br /> fund and I think people forever be thankful for that so please no <br /> matter what discussion Ms. Eoff she did a huge favor for the <br /> community that's...will take a long time to repay so that's all I <br /> have to say.. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you so much for your testimony...we appreciate it.
