Not all the Ohana even know about this! So Bully! If this was being subdivided with special treatment for the Lineal descendants without the option to sell, that would be good. Otherwise selling would not be allowed and go back to square one and adhere to all the strict rules now of the Special Management Area permitting, of Chapter 205 A, Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS). John Pippan, he also works for developer next door KAPUKAPU who also seek to subdivide. Kapukapu will be allowed to subdivide and Seascape, and Kaupulehu (Kukio). Wattie Green claimed to be owner at the last meeting. She's with Seascape Development, also next door.They already did a project together.They all want to subdivide. Is this the new way to subdivide and escape a Lien? Is it even legal, why doesn't everyone do that? What do you all mean by special case? Based on what? Lineal?They have many more properties they want to subdivide. This ONE ACRE is the new TRIGGER for developers to cut all the red tape and desecrate. Pippan is hired and maybe found a new loop getting lineal descendants for subdividing 1 acre size parcels. Specifically, 1 acre. Recently the Countys allowing people desecrate property 1 Acre or less. So here Lineal descendants can break it up.Then sell it. And once they start bulldozing there is nothing even SHPD can do. They are allowed to sell it. It was made sure and very clear they can sell it at the Leeward Meeting. The question was specifically asked by their appointed attorney. That means they're going to sell it. The house there before, I know who lived there. Also, a family member was going to build a house. Another family member stopped them, not the county or state. Not all lineal been notified. Never seen public newspaper notice of like others before. Subdividing and allowing the property to be sold is like 'The Final Hammer'for all the other lineal descendants. Because part of the family will win, 3. While the others will lose. Fair?This land should stay with the family and should never be sold if allowed by special treatment. This property is in THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC KAHALU'U DISTRICT and The Great Wall of Kuakini is significant under all archeological criteria and is a monument. Per: a lineal descendant Kuakini's Wall is located on this proposed subdivision. Subdividing in an SMA and Tsunami evacuation zone will Trigger a Domino Effect for the neighbors who want to subdivide but can't right now. Cul-De-Sacs are not legal here. Subdivide will be allowed in all this ahu'pua'a from this 1 Comm.No. ,Ref.To: U y Ref.Date '. 77 property atthe top KuakiniHwy tothe bottom off A|ildrive, where developers also want tosubdivide and break The Great Wall of Kuakini for a 50 ft. driveway access to 7,000 sq foot piece/62 house lots. Kaupu|ehu (mithKukio)vvere with the recent False Affordable Housing Credits Scheme with Westview, the one that took 1Umillion and never built anything. Those false housing credits are meant to evade ever having to really build affordable housing here. Where do you see affordable housing near Kukio, It's Kona developments separating by Income Class now too, no affordable housing.An example |sA|i1 cottages starting price is l million dollars on sacred land. It's really bad for the Opeo'peaendangered hoary bats because the lights are blinding.They run into power lines, and trees, fall to the ground, injure themselves and are eaten by mongoose or rats,Artificial light pollution is a problem, scientist predict someday we will not be able to view stars.Just drive Ali'i at night and see it for yourself, it doesn't seem like anyone cares.They light up the Trees along the shoreline like its Christmas all year long, our fragile ecosystem, birds, and honu turtles. Something needs to be done about Artificial Light Pollution.This was brought up at your Council � meeting with apresentation, but noone isdoing anything otall. ` PER:JOHN P/PPA0 We also understand that you are also particularly concerned with tsunami evacuation routes. This is an understandable concern. We live on /nlVE±|y\ active volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are subject L0 many potential hazards as 8 result. Without new developments and the increased [ax base they provide, our County will not be able to afford the infrastructure improvements so desperately needed that would lead to better evacuation corridors. Public Safety should be first. Infrastructure first not second. That is the cart before the horse, recipe for disaster. If you allow all this Subdividing without infrastructure and people die from it, their blood is OD your hands. Take the TAT Taxes that is going to the rail on Oahu' into S8f8 infrastructure here. The last C � potential Tsunami OO alarm was set Ofbecause the County didn't want to cause B PANIC Business's got water damaged and canoes at the pier. Q8|Ovv Palisades is where Seascape and Wattle built condos. That is way better. Kuakini Highway is too dangerous. If the family could keep the land. Build three houses for themselves and live there forever. That would be Excellent! But what about the rest of the family? y4aha|O, LOke|8ni McMichael Kai|ua Kona, Hawaii Attached photos. #Latestsubdiviyion, No affordable.
