just the way it rains out. Okay, it's, most of it is in high hazard zones 1 and 2, as we all now
<br />know. I knew. I knew what the crack in the backyard meant, but nonetheless they're there. So,
<br />you're going to provide, you're going to allow for services to be provided by the people who are
<br />willing to risk their money, like Woodland, they're investing a lot of money. It's a roll of the
<br />dice. The lava could be coming down there tomorrow afternoon. Right? But, they got the
<br />bucks. They're rolling the dice that they're going to win this one, and as all of the other people,
<br />whether knowingly or unknowingly who purchased the land, and have gone out there and built
<br />something or are sitting on the land with the intention of living on it, they've rolled the dice, too.
<br />So this is, this is just one more little step in that equation. Every place you go has hazards. You
<br />move to California, they have giant earthquakes. We have tidal waves here. This whole thing
<br />could be gone tomorrow.
<br />CLARKSON: Okay, I think we
<br />OLSON: We beat that horse to death.
<br />REPLOGLE: I'm sorry, but you said this plan was done 13 years ago?
<br />OLSON: Yeah.
<br />REPLOGLE: Okay, I don't know what they told you when you started planning, but in Ka`u,
<br />they told us to plan for 25 years, and admittedly, it took us ten to finish the plan, but we did
<br />finish it, and I personally support the CDP's and that line where you drew the town center and
<br />everything?
<br />OLSON: Mm-hmm.
<br />REPLOGLE: That's important. When we start chipping away at that, it's going to be the end of
<br />all the CDP's, and I'm sorry, I know it sounds harsh, I don't mean to be flippant, but you made
<br />this bed, and I don't want to harm all the other CDP's by saying okay, we'll make an exemption
<br />for you and as my fellow commissioners stated, you open the floodgates. So, now
<br />OLSON: —Yeah, we do
<br />REPLOGLE: hang on, so now, when we have our coastal setback in Ka`u, we have people
<br />coming in and saying well, you let a commercial interest and we can quibble over whether it's
<br />commercial or ag, I lean towards the ag, but he's still selling stuff You let a commercial interest
<br />in in an area that was outside the town limits in Pahoa, I want to build right on the coast in Ka`u.
<br />You gave them that, why not me? And, I feel we need to stick with these CDP's as they were
<br />written. True, mistakes can be made, and adjustments could be made, but this is—this is, it's
<br />going outside what you planned for. Anyway, that's my opinion. I guess you know how I'll
<br />vote.
<br />YEE: So
<br />HALL: Well, they can go sit down, right? Or are you still talking to them?
